Is there any difference between the 1981 SRX 440 and the Vmax 540 hoods and side panels or are they the same?

I have always liked the Yamaha "Darth Vader" style sleds. The 81 SRX's are just awesome looking sleds, I remember like it was yesterday the first time I seen one out on the trail. I also like the Vmax 540's, especially the 1983's. So my question is which is the better sled for a vintage ri...

I would like to find a decent Vmax that just needs a little fixing up. I would prefer it to have a decent seat since they seem to be the hardest thing to find. Let me know what you got.

What class do they make you run in at the radar runs? Here they would make us run in the 600 class with the ZRT's and the ProX's and such.

I just did a compression test on my 84 and it showed 148 psi both cylinders. Is this right or do you think it has had some performance work done to her? Also what length are the tracks on these machines, 121 inch?

Thanks for posting the pics. Doesn't your helmet fog up, last I knew Simpson only offered a single ply shield? Looks cool though!

Great looking sled. I have an 84 Vmax that I am rounding up parts for to restore. Could you post some more pics so we can check out your machine?

I just bought a 1986 V-max that is siezed up. I have not tore into it yet, looking into the Ports it would appear to be sleeved. I was wondering if it can be bored out or if I have to have the cylinders rechromed or Nikisiled if they are in bad shape? Thanks
