strip

I’ve got some stock wheels and fork lowers that look terrible everywhere and a backrest that has a growing oxidation patch. Right now my game plan is to get the factory coating off with Aircraft Remover and re-seal them with Sharkhide. I’m not looking improve the polish quality from stock...

Here is a database from contemporary car magazines of hot Detroit iron, usually listing car specs and 0-60 & 1/4-mile times, as well as rated HP. You can debate the 413 Mopar Wedge vs. the 406 FE Ford, the 260/289 Ford Police Interceptor vs. the 327 Chevy, the Buick 455 Stage 1 vs, the...

I was over at my friend's shop, he's got several VMaxes in recently for various amounts of work. This is the stoutest candidate: 1530 cc air shifter 41 mm FCR flat slides Mad Max chain-drive 190 x 17" rear wheel It's run a 9.6 sec 1/4 mile, dunno the trap speed. The other bike is a shop...

What is the best way to strip powdercoat? My scoops are powdercoated, and I'm buying some wheels, and dont know if everything will match, so just planning ahead....just in case. Thanks

Went to Byron Dragway 9/14/14 and ran my Vmax for the first time. Was sunny but cool, maybe 60 degrees. Had some fun and learned a little. Have a lot more to learn! This was my 5th ever and best pass. Bike, 2006 stock suspension UFO megaphones, 2.5 outlets minimal jetting, stock airbox Best...

Took the 85 out to St Thomas race way on Sunday. Here is a look at my best run of six. I shut her down soon after cause I think I fouled my plugs adjusting my v boost to open at 3500rpm. I put it back to 5500 but she didn't come around. Still felt lazy. Didn't have new plus with me. But...

Three of us hit 131 Motorsports park last night, I'll let the others post their times but here's mine, race weight 855 lbs.....12.11 - 12.10 - 12.08, all at 111mph, decent launches and shifts, all stock Max, wanted to hit the 11s but it is pretty consistent........................Tom.

Looking to do a drag strip day with the 20th as the date and the 21st the rain date. Nothing but a fun day with as many people as possible to show up. Saturday is test and tune, Sunday is a race day with test and tune in between. More runs available on Saturday. 2691 Roods Lake Rd...

Drag strip Track Day? OCT 13th Well after the Irish Hills ride, how about a early Oct Drag Strip run? Lapeer is cheap, lots of passes can be made and its a good time. Anyone ? Todd Looks like Oct 13th unless we get more people that can make it on the 6th. Todd

It was pretty dark by the time the guys really got into making runs. I can see Kyle's hair sticking out from under a silver full face helmet but I'm guessing to say who's who concerning our our Gen II Racers.:bang head: Help me out Brett, Kyle, Joe, ????.... I'm bad learning names, sorry...

I've tried to strip one of my rear shocks to clean and repaint the spring, couldn't see any way to remove spring. I took off the large circlip that was holding the top plastic adjuster on and two springs and ball bearings fell out, I can see where they go but I moved the adjuster gear and don't...

I think I'm in love! :biglaugh:

Gday all. I ran my stock 1987 model last March, literally 60km after I bought it (as you do.....). That's when I found out the V-boost didn't work, the front brake didn't hold it still very well in the water, and my 2nd gear jumps very occasionally. Oh well. Still, she did 12.4 @ 105 with easy...

Found this info on another board, and thought it was interesting. Very detailed data from a regular guy taking his '08 Hayabusa to the strip. He's got lots of mods, but hasn't gotten into the engine yet. Bike is still making only a little over 180 hp at the wheel. Shown below is his most...
