Go the **** away dude. Danny did my carbs, and it wasn’t $900, and they were absolutely perfect from day one.

Couldn’t agree more NC. Please don’t take it that I was implying that you are not a skilled rider. I believe you are and yes, very true, sometimes there is nothing you can do about a crash. ATGATT (all the gear, all the time)…

@VMAX_Jon_NC its like we lived parallel lives for a while but it seems I started much earlier than you. At 17 I bought my first street bike a 1972 Kaw H2 750 (like riding a giant chain saw). Then bought 3 of the same bikes you did. Nighthawk at 18yrs, ‘86 Vmax at 21yrs old and way later an...

True, but if you practice religiously muscle memory can take over. Another very important tip: Ride where the cars wheels drive, NOT in the center of the lane, especially at intersections. Where do cars drip oil, antifreeze, etc.? In the middle of the lane. I see so many bikes come to a stop at...

And don’t stab at the brake lever. That’s a sure way to lock up the front. Gradual pull at first to transfer weight to the front tire and then squeeze harder and harder. As you get better at it you’ll realize the weight transfer can take place very quickly and you can pull hard sooner than you...

A good reminder for all of us to practice panic braking. I do it religiously. Tons of front brake little back brake. Start very slowly and build up speed gradually. Obviously do this in a safe place like an empty parking lot. It’s amazing how fast you can stop without locking up.

Thanks CaptainKyle. I figured it was in the 50-60 range.

Wow, that’s a nice bike. I have an 86 also… looks NOTHING like that…lol. I wonder if he ever gave it a shot of nitrous at WFO throttle. I’m curious about the HP number with supercharger and nitrous. And what kind of power can stock internals handle (I’m sure yours are not stock.)

Any idea how much horsepower at the wheel?

Have you seen this? I love it!!!!

If you’re running more horsepower and theoretically a higher trap speed, you may have to upshift to 5th anyway. You may be topped out in 4th.

Wow, looks great!!!

[A balmy 4 degrees in Cincinnati. Better than the -9 it was… Merry Christmas everybody!!

Will do. Thank you so much!!

My tach quit working but the neutral light works fine. Do you think I have just a tach issue. 1986 model.

="James t, post: 525083, member: 78614"] I also have lots of bang bang toys James t, if you had to pick just one of yours to take with you on a deserted island, which would you take?

Items that go BANG…probably everyone on here has those…

Wow, that is good lookin…

Awesome job Chug!! Way to go out and do it. I ran mid-11s when I was at the strip on my stock ‘86, so, yes, you’ll get the launch down and be very addicted!!
