The launch is not too bad.

It actually rides so smooth after the last changes to the chassis that I thought it was a mid 8 pass when it finally dropped into the 7's.

Having the bike jump around like it was made things exciting.

It looks to me like the tire is unloading from shifting. Do you not have an auto trans.....Even sounds like it's killing ignition at shift points.....Billy

I don't understand at all why you didn't go for the 1-2-3 auto, its bulletproof. As much power as your making, I could see an easy half a tenth in ET lost. The combo of killing power & shocking the tire is costing you......The difference in the ride might shock you....... Billy
 
1/8 mile times

1/8 mile times

And just to stay on topic, my 79 GS1000 2 valve runs 5.20 @ 132MPH....Best 1/4 mile time was 8.20 @ 158MPH.....No electronics, hand clutch, stock Suzuki clutch plates with a forged basket (modified GS1100 piece).....60 footers were typically 1.24 to 1.28 with a small tire homemade chassis. The 1/8 mile time on the above 8.20 pass was a 5.14 .......I am at near sea level here in Florida and that morning there was a 5MPH or so tail wind at Gainesville. If I knew then, that would be my last race, I wouldn't have lost that timeslip......Billy

That's OK. I don't understand why is your bike so slow.

Hey nice paint graphics

Thanks. This painter has a lot of talent.

This bikes an 1150 square tube cradle back halved in NY for Jack Daniels out of Wisconsin who raced it in IDBA for many years. I had contacted Puppet to see if it was one of his but it was not. Forks are from a 90 which dates the bike. When Jack built the bike, it was button start, NA with single stage lockup. I am told it ran a best of 8.62 with Jack riding.

Jack sold the bike. The electric starter was removed. A slider, 5 speed and the full fairing were added. The new owner weighed about 160. I was told he ran a best of 8.22 with it. I can tell you when I bought it, the sprocket cap screws had been bent! The bike was too heavy for T/G class and he scraped it. I was told that they had problems with it not running true as well.

I bought the bike in 2003 as a roller and tore it down to nothing and started over, twice. I am not sure what the whole package weighed but would guess I have added 60+ for the rider, 15+ in the chassis, 10 in the batteries, 4 in the new bars, plus turbo and adding electric start. Maybe 100 pounds added?

There's about 8 PSI left on the table to play with. I've had a lot of fun with it over the years.

Picture shows what it looked like when it was first built.

I just dug up a old time slip from Norwalk back in 1991. 1.36 60foot, 6.032 @ 113mph at the 1/8 mile, 9.621 @ 133.5mph in the quarter. Dang I really would like to get back into racing.

I haven't been Norwalk since 1989. I have been to Columbus.

You made me go look. I bet its been 15 years since I looked at any. I saw one where my top gas bike ran 152 in a 1/8th. 4.88.(way to fast for the class) I then found some from my pro mod bike. 4.60 at 162.

I wouldn't do it again. To expensive and honestly the only person coming out is the track operator or the sanctioning body.

That first number was a turbo 1325cc GS1150 based engine. Kosman bike complete. 10 inch tire. The last 1395, turbo nitrous(I think...I did use methanol some) 1150 based with Kosman on 12 inch tire. Both 3 speeds.
 
Everything people enjoy cost money.......I do it for the rush

That isn't that expensive to build now. All the parts are out there & deals are to be had as most are going to Busa stuff. I am building a new bike, Funny Bike type chassis, Ecotec, 1.8 liter, turbo on methanol. B & J 3 speed, Crower multi disk clutch, 13 inch slick with about 1400 hp. Trying to keep the finished bike weight between 600-650 lbs. SHOULD be able to run low 6s at that weight & hp. Low 4.0s in the 1/8 mile. Hopefully anyway. That is the goal. Building it to run 1/4 mile. Ray.
 
Looking forward to seeing the video of that one! Good building and keep us informed.

Thanks, I am hoping to find time to make good progress this year. With some luck I hope to be able to finish it before the end of next summer. It is a LOT different to have to start from scratch without using all the GS stuff I have. The Ecotec motor is pretty stout but I still have to girdle the block & that is new to me. Also TONS of custom machining for the clutch & trans. This is all new to me compared to a GS Motor with the trans & clutch inside the motor. Still gathering a lot of parts. I have the front end though! I like big brakes on all of my stuff so this one is getting an inverted GSXR front end with Nissan calipers. I like to have NO problems with stopping.
Ray.
