    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1395 is completed.... Track time completed

Air shifter isnt that hard or complicated. MRE makes a nice bolt on kit that works fine. You can have air in your swingarm or a tank. Swingarm has to be airtight. Most racers bring a small gas cylinder and recharge their tanks with it using air or nitrogen. Once installed and charged you simply push the button when you want to shift, preferably off a shift light.

There are also electric shifters available. Dale Walker makes one. No air involved.
 
I figured the output bearing would have failed by now, but it hasn't. Its a stock basket as well isn't it? And this is still holding up. I thought the only problem was tieing the engine into frame. With your luck, play the lotto and buy a new bike.
 
Lookin hot Jake :)

Let us know what kind of numbers you get when that monster
hits the slab.
 
All that's left is to install a new oil pump gear cir-cilp and clutch stuff and then she's done. Can't really see any differance except the MTC logo on the block, but once you start it you know that it's not your everyday GS.

The chips are set at 6k launch, 8k shift and 9k max for the first time out to break everything in.
 
Great job!! We need an audio file to hear this bad boy. I love that seat!!! No one ever seems to make a nice soft seat on their drag bike.

I finally got the last part for the turbo I lost last summer. I put it back together the other night. Still waiting on the new sprockets and some warm weather...

Say RJ what are those wierd looking exhaust pipes on your bike from???
 
Hey Lecroy i can ops check that turbo for you, just send it my way :D as for the seat it's just a little plywood, foam, cover and a few staples.

FMT, it's a Vance and Hines Pro pipe exhaust and it's made for drag racing. Takes alittle work to mod the rear brake assy too. There's no baffle in the pipe and it's loud so if you want to pissoff the neighbors within a 1/2 mile then this is the ticket.
 
The sidewinders are common on a drag bike. You have to meet the 2" clearence with 10 lbs pressure rule. Some pipes take up more than 2". Better to run it out the side and drop the bike down. A low bike is a happy bike.

You have foam!!! I figured you left that part out. I have seen a few with no seat. They just sit on the glass.
 
Yeah it would be quite a sight to watch all these fast bike's without any butt/back support. Lets see who is the real man just by hanging on to the handlebars :lol:

You learn real quick when you run bars that a stationary butt is a happy butt. I learned the hard way last year and almost had to change my name to RacingJoyce :oops:
 
These guys were on a 1-pc chassis. There is still an ass stoper built into the glass.

:( :( 8O 8O :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I got the last parts on Friday and it's going to be warm on Sunday. Maybe I can get some work done on it.

I assume you ran your bike this weekend. Lets hear how things turned out.
 
Well, I got jack done as well. Decided to work on the house instead. I thought the tracks down south were open all year around.
 
Just go for a nice trip around the block 8O

I probably would, as it would be killing me not to try it for 2 more weeks.
 
Sounds fun, till u run over some kid who ran into the street to get their ball. Maybe no one lives on your block??
 
Hey, I didn't say I would wind her all the way up. Though I wouldn't need to go very far to say the only danger was to animals and myself.
 
The bike is ready, I'm ready but it looks like rain on Friday.

A guy can only do so many op's checks when she's in the back of a truck.

I got my fingers crossed
