Need for More Speed

[bnorwood]

Hey Guys,

After a disappointing day at the dragstrip, I need mods for getting quickier and hauling ass. I know I need a swingarm so no need to mention that. Only mods so far is a Muzzy exhaust and K&N air filter. Going back to the track in 2 weeks and need the info.

perhaps you need to work on your holeshot (i.e. first 60 feet). Just a thought. What does a stock bus do in the 1/8 when a pro dragger is running?

 

[Charlesbusa]

Lowering, wheels, tires, turbo, clutch, etc..... How much do you have to spend??

 

[Mr. Busa]

work that clutch and get your time down a little before modding anything.

17/43 doesn't seem like it would help in the 1/8.  I thought going up in the rear gives more top speed?  Can you explain?

I haven't seem many pro draggers however, there were some build bikes pulling 5.85's and 6.1's.

My bad, you did post here..... The gang has you pointed in the right direction. Practice is the key to lowering your times! It is after all the most cost effective improvement you can make to your trackdays! Then when you got it down to a science look to mod a few parts...... Make Small Changes! Work out the bugs and then look to build on your success.... Keep us posted!

You can buy a set of my Extensions. Will drop your 60' time down in the 1.50 range with decent riders or with practice.

how much you askin nick?

 

[Gixx1300R]

My extensions are $295.00 with shipping within the U.S. They come with a longer rear brake caliper brace so all you need is a longer chain. 130 links is what you will needd.

I noted that reading the article about Keith Dennis, he was consistant low to mid 1.7's for the 60 foot, on a stock suspension bike. Given, of course, he's Keith Dennis. But that gives at least a goal to get to or come close. My best was a 1.81 60 ft, 6.64 @ 114.5. I agree that before you do anything, practice slipping the clutch.
