Last night I finally ran at the local 1/8 mile track. To my surprise, nobody could cross the line with me. I weight 290 lbs and thought that all the 1000's and Busa's were going to smoke my heavy butt. My 60ft times suck! My best time was a 6.82 @ 109.46. 60ft was 1.81 because I am not leaving with my elbow up enough! I red lighted twice in the beginning because I did not know that my Shinko Hook-up would hook up that well. I am also sitting 8 over, lowered and strapped. My electric shifter should be in this week hopefully. I really like the 17/46 sprockets too.

If thats your first time on the strip, you did very good. My first time on a bike at the strip I was in the 7.20s My best lap to date is 5.98 on a genI but its taken a lot of $$$$ and practice, great job!

I got the wheel chock from harbor freight. It was my second time at a track, but my first time at the 1/8 mile.

Good for your first outing. Get that 60 down and watch what happens. It's tough being a big guy (I'm about 20lbs lighter than you) watching lightweights run good numbers.

Good times bigblue!! Im with mr brown.. Being a larger rider sucks!! I was 235lbs............. after seeing all these light weight run crazy times and a push from kidneys stones I down to 199lbs. I watched our local pro rider 155lb,his dad 200lbs and my tuner/builder 215lb all jockey the same bike. 8.80 for the kid,9.3 for the dad and 9.4 for the tuner.


The best mod I have done to date is the RSM clutch. Its pricey!! I went from a 10.08@138 to a 9.56@140 right off the trailer. after some tuning a 9.47@144. Mines a gen 1.
