ARRGGHHHHH Trip may be pushed back to the fall event

Washing machine died, and my tow vehicle cost me 3 times what I figured to have the hitch installed
Gonna try but it may be ramen noodles and scrapping change for the tolls
Maybe smartest thing will be to wait and get to the dragstrip in the mean time

That sucks. Sorry to hear.

PM'd you about an 18 tooth front sprocket I have. Shipping paid and its yours.

just about ready with my daily driver bike. it just has a baby turbo. nothing serious planned for this event, just hoping to get my dad 200 mph certified and have some fun.

btw to the guys that say its a bad idea to run 2 masterlinks... why? if you trust 1, why not 2, they arent a weak link unless you screw up the install (and if you do, you shouldnt be doing it). ive been 266.5 on a chain with 2 masterlinks lol

Looking forward to hearing how any of you running , go out there . Here's hoping for great weather and many fast clean runs . Will be hoping the Gods of speed are riding with ya's on the day , wide open throttle fun , kick ass !!

@KZScott ….. holy SHYT man.... 266.5 mph.... that chain would have cut u in half.

[KZScott]

i would run a chain made entirely of master links if someone covered the cost and my time, just to prove a point. (as long as im the one putting the links together)

[ROADTOAD1340]

Put on correctly , as stated rivet master links are tough as , and same with the other style with clip , only the young players put the clip on backwards and experience failure .
I usually use a rivet link , but used a new to me type of link sold by EK for my latest chain setup . You can press fit it up with tool , but you can also press it up using those black nuts , that stop turning once they reach their seated position , then you grab pliers and snap them off the link stem threads .

I've used the clip style master links in almost all my bikes with no problem. I really like the one the Toad has, that looks brilliant....

[Unklpunk]

ive run clip links also, with 2 wraps pf safety wire. never an issue.

[KZScott]

i like to safety wire clip links when i use them too. havent had one come off yet.....

[KZScott]

i got the mirror block offs on today, pulled the signals and throttlemeister. filled everything up with 94 octane, got the gas jugs loaded in, bike loaded in and strapped down, tires topped up, trailer wheels greased, just have to get the tools organized. its nice not rushing for a change.

everyone else just about ready?

How do you wire the clip? Most of my bike has been wired already but have not seen that done.

[KZScott]

that was one that popped up on google, i just do a single not a double

Guys using the strap with the holes - what does your battery securement setup look like?
