Busa set up recommendations, awesome bike!!

[jaysrippen]

Good day guys!!! lots of snow up here (great for Sledding!!) . But I'm wanting to do some set up for 1/4 on my busa. I use my Busa for everything: road track racing (she's little big), street riding/long range cruising/ and 1/4
I have:
dropping one tooth front sprocket
Shinko rear on a spare wheel
frt strap
Yosh dual slip ons
MSD launch master

Im thinking of:
ECU re-program from Chuck at RC's performance
short stacks
MPS clutch mod
CO2 shifter
Wheelie bar??

Im not sure on the Wheelie bar?? I dont want a extended arm, but having the front down and being consistant sounds good. Would I need a solid strut for a wheelie bar?

What do you think of my set up idea's??

Welcome to the org.

Im thinking you should set up with a "pic" 1st.............

Ecu flash is an awesome start! Really don't think a wheelie bar is necessary unless your stretched and throwing serious HP.

Thanks guys, ill post some pics. I got to race 2 events this summer and bike ran well with fastest 10.06@142mph, and was consistant around 10.15. Thats with a poor track and at 230ft elevation, so Im quite happy.
I still would like to look into a wheelie bar. quick and easy to put on/off, and I think I would be more consistant. Any recommendations or insight into wheelie bars??? I looked on Pingles site, kinda pricey, maybe I will build or find used??

 

[jaysrippen]

ok ,try posting pic's

 

[bubba@slr]

no wheelie bar and no launchmaster. get a billet or weld up clutch mod and lowering links for the rear

There is no easy on easy off when running a bar. You have to change the shock to a strut every time. and it takes alot of r&d to get one to work well. Also bars dont work well with stock wheel base, if you leave hard off a 2stepp it will slam the bar down and unload the rear wheel. Ive been running one for four years (track only) so I would stay away from a bar unless its a track only bike.

Takes a lot of work to do all things well.

Good luck on trying to do it all. Been there tried that street strip bike. Ya can either drag a knee or thrown down some hard holeshots cant do both have to settle.
Launch master, throttle stop with a slider clutch is the only way to run consistent on a swb street bike at the dragstrip

 

[jaysrippen]

Great replies guys!!

PS thats me Vs my Dads 66 ChevyII drag car!!! You can see Im getting the jump on him off the tree, which is a good thing being he's running 8.4@164mph

Thanks DragonBusa that was the exact info I needed, RE wheelie bars and struts. I just googled shock removal and sounds like a tight fit, Not a easy in/out. So staying away from the wheelie bar. Thanks

hi mate whats your 60s 330s , if u dont mind?
my guess is mid 1.6s anyway my advice is forget the bike & just concentrate on yourself the 60s & 330s is all that counts after that its the bike. im digging out 1.54 stock bike, not motor but still rider skill is more important,
then most things, u can buy, u dont want to buy an et, u go there & earn it. its stock gearing as well.

yep 60 foot time were just over 1.6, I'm quite happy with the flat 10 @ 142mph, just want a little edge to be more consisitant. Theres more snowmobilies in my bike sled classed then bikes, drag snowmobiles are very consisitant.

UPDATE: I had my ECU program/tuned by Frank at powerhouse, lower links for rear,

 

[jaysrippen]

oh, decided on no air shifter and no wheelie bar.

I was going to suggest sending the ecu to Frank but I see you already did. Great price and service. I think you will be quite happy with how it pulls now with just the tweaks that he made. I see 9's in your future. I would suggest s/a extensions too if you don't have them already and a BMC race filter for the track.
