Maxton Roll Call
Well since DG4 is pretty much out of the picture for me, Im going to make Maxtons last run of the season! Im slowing getting things ready. My goal is to be setup completely as a stock motor and a dry shot. I wanna go over 200!
Got the trailer ready so far. So I wanna know who else is planning on being there! Im very excited! It should be a good show too, as lots of Busas are planning to show up.
How many 12s are gonna make it? I think it would be great to show up even if you dont want to run!!
Whos in?

Thanks for the info. Someday I will have to make the trip and give it a go.
You might check with some of the other guys on the board, but I don't think the 16/44 will let you pull 200. 16/44 is pretty close to 17/47 (a tooth on the front is equiv. to about 2.8 in the back) and that tops out on the dyno at or near 184 if I remeber corectly.
Good luck!!!!

We're planning on going back in September. They'll have one more meet in October but we can't make that one for sure.
YCIS:
Buy the dampner and GO! its worth the price and buying a stabilizer is not a waste of money anyhow.
I'd like to see a group of twelves show up.....Lets go.
Steve,
The boys used 18/44 and I ended up running 18/45, both combos resulted in around 12,000 rpms on the tach going through the lights.

You know for probably $40 you can order from Scotts the crown / cap nut piece and the piece you bolt to the frame. Install them and then borrow your buddies dampner. takes about 30 seconds to take the dampner off of one bike and put it on the other. Alot of the economy minded racers do this with their race and street bikes. Even cheapscape Swft did this for quite a while. He ran the same unit on his SV and his red 12.

I will be there along with some friends and look forward to meeting up with you guys.. Gearing should be 18/44 if you want to hit 200... 0% chance you'll get there with 16/44 but you'll have fun trying regardless I live in VA and should be there both days for both events but definitely for Sunday at least.
Reminders- one-piece leathers required; damper required; safety wiring required.
See you there!

I am trying to decide between 18 / 45 and 18 / 44 ?? Being less than Tiny, a lot to consider! I should be able to pull the 45, but will not make 200, or use the 44 and maybe not pull the possible 194 to 196 possible! I am carrying 46. 45, & 44! I do not know how anyone would consider anything less than the 18 on the front! The 16 / 44 is for Drag Racing! (As far as I know)

Our stock motor w/pipe pulled 192.5x MPH at Maxton with 18/47 gearing on our red 12R because the stock gearing wouldn't pull 6th before the finish and was hovering in the 191 range... but on the green 12 we used 18/44 and made 202.59 at maxton once; backed up with a 200.x
Bring whatever sprockets you have for the rear; 44/45/46/47 to try. There should be plenty of us there to share if necessary.

YCIS,
I had the 18/45 combo and went 202 at Maxton, you're gonna less gearing on the bottle. I'm thinking you'll need at least a couple less teeth. If everyone is able to come that's planning on being there, we should have a good supply of 12 sprockets.

if 18/45 is good for 202..then im guessing 18/44 is good for at least 205. Id be happy with that speed
if someone happens to have a 19t or a 42t rear..id give that a shot.

This Board can really Piss me off! Spent some time making a post and it all disappeared!
"SOme of what I said" I have all of the sprockets from 44 to 47! I have a Green Bike and will start with 18/45 for sure! Tried to reach my mentor Kevin Cameron about spacing to fairing out 1" on both sides to better cover me and slight angle better than flat side??
Leathers sent to California by FedEx, Steering dampner now in the works (Thanks Jason), last question is back protector "DAN" I saw some for about $65 to $75 and thin! Do I need hard Armor?? Hope this goes through I am copying it first!
I think I will always copy first! It went through this time!!

Vince, I think you're hitting the "post reply" button vs. hitting the "submit reply" button. If you type in the *quick* reply box you have to hit "submit reply".
If you do hit the "post reply" button, just hit back on your browser.
