A quick flick of the 11.4 pass from onboard. I just finished getting the time to sort all my vids out............ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjzxymSAl4s

The Harley headlight bucket helps keep the front down!

Thanks mate!

I know the front guard is on backwards, I prefer the looks that way. A CB900 Honda guard looks OK too. I drilled a small 7mm hole in the scoop for the peep mirror and used a long bolt, rear vision is fine, but if I did it again I would re-drill towards the outside of the scoop for better...

I've emailed him a while ago, but more good publicity can't hurt! My '87 had been down for years. I needed parts to fix 2nd gear, then more parts (it had been hard raced in Japan........), then more parts, etc, etc, etc. Sean was always there with bits or advice, but really the bike ended up...

Gday all. We had our first round in our season yesterday. I was working, but a mate needed a ride for the first meet. His 1640 Katana was still waiting on assembly with the new billet block, his son's GSXR750 longbike still isn't ready from the off-season (something about me not completing his...

Yeah, no worries man. "Westerns" as in Westernationals, early March at the Motorplex, it's our biggest drag meet of the year. Last year was the first time in over 20 years I haven't raced........needless to say I was a bit annoyed by that, so this year I'm determined to get the old hotrod going...

Hey! Look at that, Freo! Lived there for years, how you going? Hopefully (if the planets align.......) I might even make a few runs this year at the Motorplex, missed last year (family, work, house, etc). One way or the other, I'll definately be there for the Westerns, making a nuisance of...

Gday all. I emailed Sean about a 'Busa caliper for the brake upgrade I'm planning, he replies "Yep, leave it with me", then today less than a fortnight later a little black Tokico 6pot turns up at my local Post Office for me to collect. In case that sounds like a bit longer than you would...

The rotor offset I've chosen is 10mm Sean (I can pick from flat up to 22mm). After some measuring, the rotor I've chosen, together with flat 8mm plate for the caliper adaptors, will centre the caliper over the disc perfectly, and allow 5mm clearance for the caliper to wheel spokes.. I'm getting...

OK, PIctures! The first shows just how completely unready the bike is for anything, let alone a track meet! HA!HA! It's only a day to put it all back though. The 2nd shows a pic of the XV wheel overlaying the standard front, for an idea of size. The 3rd shows the XV wheel on it's own. I will...

The main reason for me is the weight saving and tyre choices the 19" opens up, and I went for an early Yamaha hoping the speedo drive would have similar ratios.........to end up with a drop-in speedo drive was a bonus! Other wheels which apparently fit are XS750 and XJ650, but not sure. At the...

OK, I know most prefer the 17" front for a much greater range of tyres, especially radials. But personally, I prefer the cruiser/muscle bike look, and having bumpy roads also prefer the ride quality of the taller tyre. 110/90x18 is 654mm, 120/70R17 is 599mm, so 2" shorter. I started looking at...

Short-wheelbase ZX10/R1/R6/996 Duc with NO2 is interesting! Vmax should be fine, long and low. If it's boring, just keep tipping it in!

I bought a NOS Controller, 4 solenoids, 8 rebuild kits, 2 long braided bottle lines, 8 nozzles and about 20 jets from a guy in the US for $400.......about 6mths ago. Spares for stuff! Check out www.dragbike.com in the for sale section, always stuff there, will give you an idea of prices...

I do my own head work, so it's just a matter of high flow valves. I haven't seen Vmax specific ones yet, but haven't really looked hard yet. I don't mind spending $300 on valves, then with a good 5-angle blended seat I'm usually 20% up and haven't touched the port yet. I normally try (for a...

Shift light?

Thanks Sean. I'll re-check in a few days the colour codes (I work away), they're on the inside of the bearing centre, right? I'm not interested in big-bore's really, a 40hp shot properly tuned does the same, and I got a box of the stuff in the shed. I'll send off an email about the bits. Do...

Gday all. My engine is out, the trans is off to one side (*sigh*), and what do I find? Yep, mains are just through to the copper, the rod bearings have a "hot-spot" smack in the centre, and although on a quick inspection the crank journals look really nice, I haven't mic'd them or checked...

That's very cool mate, thanks for that. My bike's in bits at the moment, so won't be rushing out this second to buy one until I have a gearbox with gears in it! But the Racing 3 unit has everything I want, and I don't need to drag 4 separate Dyna products out of the shed to do it, all in one...
