Congrats Jeff! Nothing like being a parent. Would'nt trade it for anything(bikes included!). We had our first almost 11yrs ago. My wife did it all natural and did'nt have so much as a tylenol. My boy was 9 lbs, 15oz! She was happy and talkative during the deal. I was expecting ANYTHING but her...

Ebay....

Here are a few pic's of my first 01 Bandit. I had just gone with a 1277 and ported head/ Keihin 41mm carbs. Also had Busa tripples/GSXR1000 USD forks, Busa rear shock/wheel and a 1 of 2 full Titanium Brock/Hindle exhaust system. Ran 9.4's @ 145ish with a DA over 3500ft. Had clutch problems so my...

Why bother having one ported? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GSXR-1100-ported-cyclinder-head-francos-performance_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2ea962aed9QQitemZ200410312409QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories I'm telling ya, you can pick this stuff up cheap and just bolt it on! Many other...

Almost forgot, simple draw-through turbo kits are not hard to find and are pretty cheap as well. You a speed nut? A Turbo Bandit w/ 185-200 rwhp on pump outta get yer juices flowing! That can be done with a stk bottom end/ stk cams/ stk head...

The B-12's are something i have a good deal of experiance with. I've owned two 01 S models(with the upper fairing). Loved them. The motors are bullet proof and motor parts from the 88-92 GSXR1100's bolt right on. Can find ported heads cheap, and overbores are aplenty. Common are 1216cc which...

Just got in from a 150mi ride w/ my 10yr old son on my 98 TL1000S. What a great bike! The stk rear shock is junk and i replaced it w/ a used Penske shock kit i found SUPER cheap on Ebay($200!). Wonderful transformation vs a stk rear damper that was wornout. The bike weighs in around 450lbs and...

What color is the smoke? From your description in your first post, i would think it was fuel related. I know you've looked at that, but its still what i would think vs ignition. I don't think the TCI would cause the idle to go from 1K to 3K.

Well, a BIG diet will help mph. Gearing however will not gain ya any. It will help ET for sure, but not your mph. If he knocked off 100lbs or more, then i can see the mph being a possibility. Works that way for anything. Wanna gain mph? Loose weight or make more hp. SmookinZX-14 has run 8.7's...

Just watched the video. Looks like he lightened the bike up a good deal. Front forks/wheel/brakes are not stk. Could'nt tell from the rest. Camera did'nt not get the bike from the side for some reason... Would have been cool if it had not bogged so bad when launching. Could prolly have picked up...

I did notice that you mentioned that it was "all motor" which does not mean stk motor, but it does mean no spray, turbo, supercharger, etc. I can believe those mph #'s(and ofcourse the corresponding ET) but not with just a stk motor. Quite an accomplishment getting that heavy beast to pull that...
