    That's a good one ! I keep a spare one inside the gas tank too.

    Just got done flashing the ECU as a Busa. Time for a few more test runs.

      Don't forget the new 2016 RECALL!!! The newer R&R units are under recall and need to be replaced, might be the next mod to look into . 2008-2015 models are all effected 65K units.... The B-king is on the list and it's the newer R&R that needs to be replaced. This would be recall number 2 for the same issues for the King.

          Picked up a spare B King rim off of Ebay last week and ordered the 190 shinko hookup tire yesterday at noon from Bike Bandit and FedEx drop it off at my house tonight. Talk about fast service from them both.

          I wanted a second tire for drag racing and the other for street use. Gotta get the MPS kill switch hooked up, 17 tooth sprocket and Speedohealer on cause in March our 1/8 track opens up and want to have a little with the B King.

          Bike pulls strong in 1st and 2nd with the 18 tooth but I'd like 3rd gear to feel the same so hoping the 17 tooth gives me that feeling I want. If not then I'll swap out the 43 rear sprocket for a 45. Gotta a feeling I'll be going through the 1/8 mile traps in 3 rd gear.

          For next year I've been thinking a 4 psi turbo would be really nice.

            Slapped on some extensions and think it looks pretty good. So far I'm at 6.74 at 109 mph in the 1/8. I did get 20 runs !!!

            Takes a little more input in the twisities but it's still fun.

              The B-Thing is an incredibly underrated bike... I just picked up my second a couple of months back.

                I un-crated one at the local dealer and just did not fit on it, those "scoops" hit my legs, major bummer, I wanted one -

                Then Suzuki was practically giving them away and I almost bought one.

                I've ridden them, they are great machines, I just did not fit on it well enough to buy one.



                That was my first ride on one, and, well, you know - I ran it through the gears and my cell phone blew out of my pant pocket -

                I went back later and found it on the side of the road -



                Put it back together and it worked! Anyway -

                The 2nd Generation V-Max is also a must ride. I've been on two, they haul ass but in a far different way that the BKing.

                The issue with the VMax is that it is as heavy as a Harley.

                My FJ is about all the weight I want to wrestle anymore -

                And I'm considering a change to a dual sport....

                Back to that B-King -



                Here's the owner, "Smoke Dog", with a few other bikes on the ride that day







                Good memories -

                The BKing, Smoke put over 100,000 miles on it before being hit by a car and totaled.

                  Nice pic's guys !

                  Put my 18T back on and a 54 Vortex on the rear. Going to our 1/8 strip in a few weeks and figured why not go ahead and give it some street time. Nothing like getting on the gas in 6th gear until red line. It's a little over kill, OK it's a lot but she moving a lot faster out of the hole.

                  Might start backing down on the teeth to fine that sweet spot where she stop pulling to red line in
                  6th gear when go back up one tooth. She gets to 160 mph a lot faster now.

                  You might as well go big so here's the sexy beast

                    Looks nice. The chain looks to be tight.

                      Finally got around installing the Alien Head exhaust on the B King and sounds really good. Plus did a little mock up for next year go fast mod

                          Any money spent on a turbo set-up will be slightly offset by never having to buy another front tire.
                          Outstanding!

                            I think Jakes tightest turn is going back to the starting line....

                              I've raised the tubes about an inch in the trees and took out about nine turns of preload in the rear shock to get it lower for the dragstrip. The AH2 header is bigger than oem but so far it hasn't hit anything. Even with the 7" extensions she still blast through the twisties but you have to be easy on the throttle cause she'll lite the rear tire up in a blink.

                              As for the turbo I just got a GM 3 bar sensor and I'll be installing it and doing some no boost auto tuning before I install the turbo next year.

                                Found out why my rear tire doesn't last too long
