What's your 60fts?

You should go longer on the arm and forget about adding the weight.

Who did the head work?

Just think if you dropped about 50lbs???

Good job, keep us posted

FBR did the head work. I hate the look of an arm that extends the tire past the fender. So I am left with limiting to a 6" over.My 60's are in the low 1.5's.The diet is on!!!

You have inspired me to start looking for a shop to do a build on my bike, ill probably go the same exact rout as you and add a little juice to make up for my big ass (280lbs)

I cant get faster, stock motor just pipe pc3 and u4.2 with 4+ -1 gearing ran 6.38 in the 1/8 mile, I want 5.90s

 

[topper]

oh and how much did all this run you?

 

[8secBusa]

Just got back from a little test run. It kept breaking the tire loose at 80mph, This thing ROCKS.

 

[goodluck]

add some juice to it and get in the 8.50 range

Something I came up with that I hadn't tried yet was weighting the front end in order to leave harder. The como of gearing an letting go of the clutch almost instantly kept my launch rpm at 5500ish> I really wanted to leave a bit harder. Thos sounds hookie, but I bought a peice of all thread and 5 & 10lb standard barbell weights, cut everything to size, and planned on some testing before the weather went south. I know the "fast boys" typically run 30-40lbs of weight up front to stabilize and control wheelstand.

its called a cheater weight,I have a 25lb one up front,you can have it if you want,the guy i bought the bike fom used her stricky for raceing,i have no need for it
