Vroom!
How much did that set you back? Is it a stock replacement, or require mods?

pretty much stock replacement.. they were made specifically for the vx, Anita's vx was the prototype many years ago, then after the first set of orders a second was made thats a little louder.. but otherwise the same.. iirc they are supposed to give buku power upgrades (for a muffler anyway.. i seem to remember 8hp on the dyno, but could be wrong) anyway they stopped making them like 2-3 years ago..

about 9 months ago i drove out to test drive a vx for sale in northern pa for a guy who lived in texas. i drove it, talked with the owner (James) for awhile, he mentioned that he had purchased a powervault a few years ago and never installed it. sadly the pv was mia in his garage.. but was found like 2 weeks ago.. then it started its journey to me and arrived yesterday... for the cost of... gas to drive up there (when gas was still under $3 iirc) and then like $11 in shipping to get it here

EDIT
Just did some searching.. turns out the PV was dyno tested and showed 15-17hp gains at the wheels! i think i just peed a little..

So I need to search for a powervault?
Thanks for the info. Sounds like you got hooked up for this one. I am sure I could expect to pay alot if I could find one.

yeah, there was one on ebay a week or two ago.. nos.. i think the buy it now was 250

15 hp gain for a few bucks is worth a little pee, I think
Well done!
Now if I can find one without getting scalped....
Best,
