Hot day to be drag Racing.... my second official track runs ....... 11.50's

[customizedcreationz]

Ok it was hot, really hot! 94 degrees with a 7 mph headwind. So I know the bike will run faster then it is.

This time full leathers so I could balls out the bike.

My first pass was dismal 12.11.... the whole run wasn't good. Next pass 11.77 115 and then it kept going lower from there. A few 11.60's runs and a few 11.50's runs.

I just didn't want to run it too much more, the bike was hot and I rode it to the track, so I didn't want to beat the total living snot out of it.

Best pass [email protected] mph

Best MPH of the day.... 118.83 mph !

60 foots still suffer.....1.850 best of the day. Most averaged around 1.90-1.94 area.

I had a major wheelstand and brought it down hard on my male parts!

So.... for a bone stock Vmax with slip ons , still needing the carbs jetted properly, I can't complain.

With the mph run of almost 119 mph and doing the math, in theory the bike should run 11.20's.

Which I think is probably acomplishable. I just need to tune it and get a good set of tires under it. Probably strap it down also.

I think I am going to set my goal to try and get as close to the low 11's with a stock bike.

With MPH and weight the few higher mph runs today show around 119 hp at the wheel.

Pretty amazing I think!

I video'ed with my new go pro all but two of my runs. I ll post them up later.

Hope I can do as well when it cools off here.... Haven't done the strip in 30+ years. I'm a Street Racer..

BTW: YOU SHIFT QUITE WELL... And, make pretty good videos too...:clapping:

Nice video, some quick RT's and good job on getting into the 11's!unk:

Thank you!

I think with some cooler fall weather I should be knockin on the 11.20-30's range in stock form.

I am still running rich, so I think a change to smaller jets, or changing my needle location might help. We'll see, I just haven't had time to sit down and play with the carbs yet.

With some new tires and strapping the front end down, maybe I can get some 11.40's out of it.

Its all in the 60ft though, which I can't seem to get good launches yet. It either spins the tire or I have to ease out of the hole.

Right now I am about half throttle coming out of first gear and around 8500 or so I am giving it full juice. The tire comes up in first and second gear probably about 3-5 inches and I am not sure about third gear, I dont think its lifting then as I don't feel it.

I also get a little wobble in the front end, I have to check the bearings and what not on that. Its not bad, but I can feel it.

A rev limiter / ignition system would probably be a good install so I don't over rev when I shift.

When I hit 11.20's , I ll probably be saying next 10.90s LOL. We'll see, but I strongly believe this bike should run 11.20's.

Maybe if I trim my fat ass down some from 210 lbs, down to a nice 180ish weight....

And that stupid sissy seat is causing wind drag
