UK Drag bike rebuild

[Joe Sull]

I just finished re-installing my harness. You could lay a stock harness down the right side of the bike and plug it in for now.

Joe, the first post in this thread shows the hairy Hoosier meatball going on the rear.

Me thinks he needs a stronger frame or at least more bracing...
When that rear tire hooks up, it's gonna twist that engine sideways.

If you tire of building bikes, a career in computer graphics awaits you.

Is it just me or do I see dual steering dampers on this thing? 

How come?  Expecting it to be that willing to go into headshake with that much rake?

Otherwise an interesting project.  I'm wondering how many teeth are on that front sprocket, I'm assuming the big rubber is taller than stock a pinch, but that seems to be an awfully big sprocket in the back, I'm concerned that you'll be out of steam by the finish line.  With a relatively stock (just the usual bolt-ons) motor, I found that crossing the traps around 8500 netted quite the gains vs going through with as much rpm as possible.  It's been awhile but I want to say that two teeth off the rear gave me about a tenth, and a noticable MPH bump.

What are you doing for electronics?  Two-step?  I know they work even with a hand clutch for some.  It seems to be begging for a slider, but that brings a fat lump of headaches aboard, like not being able to use the return road without a scooter giving you a push.  With the air shifter, a shift light, and a relay you could go full-auto on the shifts if you're looking for consistency, though you'd probably want to be able to still shift short on the button (just wire it parallel to the light output).

Interesting project, will be fun to see how it comes out.

I know a guy that hit a dog doing sixty. Believe you me, he wished he had dual steering dampeners.

clutch done with some degree of mods to avoid fouling offset sprocket, oil filter modded, carbs on, nitrous foggers fitted, k and n filters on, exhaust fitted and remounted, battery fitted, loom started.

Those hands have not been idle

Looks pretty menacing. You got what looks like a muffler on there. I'm sure theres a good reason;

[] To loud
[] Increase back pressure
[] Track rules
[] Don't want to cause undo attention
[] None of the above
