    Best mod you ever did?

    I really liked wiring a holder for my cell phone. Most of all because I have the blu tooth helment so I can listen to my jams, plus I have the gps- which was always handy so I could find my home after one of Mike's rides

    if I remember how to do it right, your 146 mph would suggest about 190hp. Thats damn good. a zillion years ago when I was riding my Suzi street race bike, we made up a swing arm that had slots at 6" over and 12" over. I ended up riding that bike at 6" over on the street all the time, on...

    gas

    The comments we are making re Octane are all assuming your bike is currently jetted dead on. If you were running just a little rich, the turbo blue mixed in your pump gas MIGHT give you a little more, only because it is in effect leaning out the mixture. I'd still vote for finding some pure...

    gas

    You get no advantage from "race Gas" unless you have bumped up the compression and/or advanced the timing. You can get a very small boost From running "pure gas" (E0) over blended pump gas (E10-E15). You may have to go to a very slightly smaller main jet to get that "pure Gas" extra power...

    Headlight problems

    Hey Guys! SO the buyer of my bike picks it up today. We started in the garage and the headlight worked as normal. He got home and has no headlight. Sz bulb is good, sz fuse is good. Is there anything else that would turn the headlight off? Thanks! Carig

    Sold my bike

    Well that is what got me back into this to begin with. A guy moved in not far away and unloaded a '81 honda piece of lawn art. I bought it from him for a couple hundred got the motor to break loose then rebuild it. Used e-pay to get used parts, did some body work to bump out the tank and...

    Drag Race bike project, gen II

    As far as weight, If this is going to be a drag bike, get different forks. If you want to do it on the cheap, go to a junk yard and look for older dirt bikes . You don't want the zillion inch travel, but they will be MUCH lighter and you can mod them to limit the travel. Back in the day the...

    Drag Race bike project, gen II

    IMHO... Fist if this is to be a race bike, pull the rear shock and replace it with an alum strut. In shaft bikes I raced in the past, I used a strut length that gave me a horzonal shaft. I know most people drop the rear way down but because a shaft bike tries to "climb the gear", I always...

    Taking the most powerful production bike and making more power.....

    Damn! Makes me wish i could get a job and buy some of that!!! I'd have to do too much to the ZX14 for this fat old man to ride it, so I'd get a gen 2 in a flash! If only that check would come...

    bikes on craigs list 1 hr got my first scam

    I always ask where they are and hows the weather. most of these jerks are outside the US and have no idea what is going on in the US. The last one I talked to on my Honda said he was in Rode Island and his BATTALION was about to ship out to Iran. This guy wasn't even organized enough to be...

    Taking the most powerful production bike and making more power.....

    Most people don't understand how much time and money so of us spent getting our bikes to 200 hp. many many engine tare downs, swapping parts, trying new things... and how you can just write a check and even drive it home! Of course the bad thing is that 95% of the people that get that kind of...

    M.I.S wine & Beer Motorcycle Track Day

    Don't know how they run it at MIS but... With the bikes you guys have, all you would have to do it ride up to the very outside of the track (turn 2) then then run "down" the bank aimed at the inside of the track at WOT and you should be easy in the 160-170 area before you want to slow. I hope...
