well went down to the local dragstrip today to see what the thrux will do on my first pass i did 13.756 @94.34 mph 60 ft of 2.091. i ended up geting down to a 12.929 @ 100.446mph and 60ft of 1.916.

So i must say i was happy with it all i did was change shift points and launch rpms. Now it is time to get heavier clutch springs as it was slipping a bit and tune it with the velocity stacks instead of the fillters.Maybe lose some weight that should help to

It was good day racing against jap bikes had most of them over the 60ft and nearing the 1/8th they just zing by. Glad i beat an harley though it was not a bad run between us both as it is putting out near the same h.p


The mods are predators,39mm fcr, ark and thunder bike cams bike is putting down 68,6 hp and 51.83 ft of torque.

Looking forward to seeing what you do.Your bike and mine should run close to the same.Hope you dont flip that pretty bike .I have a hard time getting mine to leave the line with out the front wheel in my face lol.

I did 4 runs. The best was a 12.69 seconds at 111mph. Getting it off the line swiftly was not easy!!! With a bit more practice a 12.5 sec or less run is possible.

yeah i was mainly watching the light trying to get a decent reaction time. just bought the revs up a bit don't ask me what it was then just slipped the clutch out the front wheel would just lift off the ground a little bit nothing to wild.

robnobrakes that is a good time what were your 60ft times?
