14 Runs Tonight

Got in 14 runs tonight and the track sucked big time. It was slick and I could spin the tire in 1, 2, 3 and 4 gear. Best run was a 6.93 at 103.88 mph. The 5.5 rim worked out great and the chain stayed on the sprocket.

The best part is my offset sprocket came in today so that means I can mount the slick on the rim and install longer struts this week.

So with any luck I might just have it ready by next Friday and I'll keep you posted. Goal is to be under 6.50 and over 110 mph, I got my sprockets crossed.

Jake, i probably missed the info somewhere but did you put a wider swing arm on the bike at some point??
 
Yes Scotty I did, its a 91 GSXR mono swingarm and about 2 inches longer than the GS one. Took alittle work on fitting it, like grinding down the inside of the frame pivot points, adding strut mounts, relocating the master cylinder and cutting off the mono mount due to it hitting the oem battery tray.

I got the wheel off and going to let my indy mount the slick today. By next week I want to be able to pull the trigger on this beast and see what she can really do :twisted:
