559 back in business

[RacingJake]

Finally got her back together, been like 2 years since she been down the strip.

The sea of ZX14's have had their day and it's time for the old rat bike to make it's return :lol: Nothing like beating up on those guy's with old school tech :-k

 

[bonanzadave]

Looks like an old Pit Bull. Scars, slobber, Lick your face friendly / Kick yer ass mean !!

 

[RacingJake]

Yeap it's ugly just like it's owner :lol:

I guess that why kids come up to it and I tell them jump on that seat and twist that throttle and they get a kick out of it. Gotta start them young !!

 

[Adler]

Holy cr*p! Is that a gasmask headlight?!?

 

[Baatfam]

Go git 'em, Jake....:clap:

 

[knowyourenemy66]

Just like women, the dirty ones are always more fun to ride! Teach the kawboys a lesson.

 

[steve murdoch]

What a brute!
Are those rear turn signals? Don't tell me 559 is street legal.

 

[RacingJake]

Thanks Guys !!

Had the gas mask on it for like 8 years now and it's getting alittle worn out. Need to stop by the Army Surplus store for an another one.

I have been thinking of trying a small car tire, coffee can jammed in the pro pipe and a small speedo, only problem is the 1/2 gallon fuel cell and 40mm lectrons??

 

[RacingJake]

Still working a few bugs out but did run three 6.21's and one 6.22 in the 1/8 during T&T on C14 race fuel. Next time I'm going to try VP110 and see if I can drop another tenth. Then I'll try a few nitrous runs and get her back in the 5's.

I did blow up my mechanical advance again, might need to upgrade my MC2 ignition cause I'm running out of advancer's :lol:

 

[littleroot]

Oh man, I like. Got a pic of the other side so we can see the pipe?

 

[trippivot]

broken advancer? I've never hurt one in my life.

that thing must be FAST

That's a nice looking bike you got there !! I forgot about those chrome front fender's from back in the day.

It's an old V&H pipe that's sounds pretty good at 10K

I've gone through a few of them, I guess they don't like to turn over 10K ?

I'd finally ordered a Dyna rotor with the degree markings to replace it.

 

[ArtByScars]

looks like it'll go at least a hundred.

 

[Jethro]

Do you run a wheelie bar?

 

[RacingJake]

Most of the time I do, but sometimes I'll leave them off for a change. With my soft springs in the lockup the clutch lever is too light so I'll put the HD ones back in so I can get more of a feeling when slipping the clutch. She's runs about 4 tenths slower without bars N/A.

I also got a shinko that I run sometimes but I still prefer the slick cause years ago she step out bigtime and that got my attention really quick.

Hit the Nitrous and she'll pull like a freight train, still amaze's me that just a 36 shot can propel my 250lb butt to 125 mph in the 1/8.

so.... how fast would it propel my 135lb butt???

 

[RacingJake]

My WAG would be over 130 mph and 1/2 a second faster in the 1/8
