    The Slick is On

    Just a few more little things to do and it should be done.



    I removed the swingarm and installed it the rightway now so I have to make some 13.5 struts and bolt them to the swingarm. It also move the wheel assy alittle to the left and the slick fits right in there. I need to do a burn out and see if is going to touch anything. Getting there slowly.

    No more 7's for this Dude

      Jake, how much pressure you plan on running? I found that with my M/T slick, 11-12 psi is about right and I really don't have to do burnouts to get traction. ( I know you want to do a 5th gear burnout to see how much the tire grows and if you have enough clearance).

      You will really need those wheelie bars now. Have fun and keep safe!

        I was going to start with 20 psi and go from there. I don't know how much it will grow, 1-2 inches or more ??. I'm guessing the sidewalls will get smaller as the tire try's to standup at higher mph and that should give me more sidewall and chain clearance.

        I wait a few weeks before I install the bars just to see how she runs without them.

          Do you have any problems with the slick spining on the rim at that PSI.

          Thanks Jake

            Not yet, but bear in mind, I am just running a stock 750 motor.

            The other thing you want to be aware of when running low pressure in wrinkle wall slicks is that it is possible to get the rear end to start bouncing when shutting down on the big end. It can feel scarey if you don't know it can happen.

              Talking of tires unloading have you ever seen the video of Terry Vance falling when they first started using car tires on pro stocks? He looked like a pogo stick. Jake how much offset are you using on your front sprocket? Remember that stock output shaft is hollow. They will break. If you do go into it for any reason upgrade your tranny bearings also. Need a tranny undercut got local guy here that does them and I think his work is better than most places like MRE.

                Right now I'm just using two flat washer behind the counter sprocket, maybe 3/8" offset. I got a 5/8" offset but I'll have to mill down the long round spacer behind the sprocket cause with the 5/8" my 630 chain hits the frame.

                Later today I'm going to recheck everything and see what needs to be
                done.

                What does he charge, I've seen about $200 to undercut the tranny.

                  Jake how much space is there between the slick and rear fender. It doesnt look like there is enough or even a smll amount of tire distortion.

                  What size mains are you using with those open pots??

                    The first pic did'nt have the longer struts. But this one does,



                    I have about 1 1/2" clearance between the tire and the fender now.

                    I'm running 165's in GSXR 750 38mm carbs now and it runs strong with VP 103 fuel.

                        With no air filter's and a 4 into 1 exhaust my bike needed alot bigger jets. The jet kits were just to small, the biggest jet in my kit was a 138 and the bike was still to lean with stock CV34 carbs. To make the stock carbs work I had to use 150's.

                        In your case I'd try some 150's and go from there.

                        Good Luck
                        Jake

                          Another example: My GS750 with open header and no filters (velocity stacks), I went from 105 to 122 jet size on the stock (non CV) carbs.

                            The clearance looks good now jake but did you need that arrow to show you which way to point the bike when racing

                              Scotty, Well that arrow's there so when I do a massive wheelie and flip the bike upside down the safety crew know's which way to push it back over.

                              The slick is used and I had my indy mount it in the same direction the previous owner had.
