    559 back in business

    Finally got her back together, been like 2 years since she been down the strip.

    The sea of ZX14's have had their day and it's time for the old rat bike to make it's return Nothing like beating up on those guy's with old school tech

          Yeap it's ugly just like it's owner

          I guess that why kids come up to it and I tell them jump on that seat and twist that throttle and they get a kick out of it. Gotta start them young !!

                          Are those rear turn signals? Don't tell me 559 is street legal.

                              Thanks Guys !!

                              Had the gas mask on it for like 8 years now and it's getting alittle worn out. Need to stop by the Army Surplus store for an another one.

                              I have been thinking of trying a small car tire, coffee can jammed in the pro pipe and a small speedo, only problem is the 1/2 gallon fuel cell and 40mm lectrons??

                                  Still working a few bugs out but did run three 6.21's and one 6.22 in the 1/8 during T&T on C14 race fuel. Next time I'm going to try VP110 and see if I can drop another tenth. Then I'll try a few nitrous runs and get her back in the 5's.

                                  I did blow up my mechanical advance again, might need to upgrade my MC2 ignition cause I'm running out of advancer's

                                              That's a nice looking bike you got there !! I forgot about those chrome front fender's from back in the day.

                                              It's an old V&H pipe that's sounds pretty good at 10K

                                                  I've gone through a few of them, I guess they don't like to turn over 10K ?

                                                  I'd finally ordered a Dyna rotor with the degree markings to replace it.
