Wish I could help you out. What the heck are you driving that doesn't have cruise?? I am looking forward to meeting you and the others that I haven't met before. The mile will be here soon.

Only a couple of years on my street ceramics, sure is nice to push in and out of the garage and its kind of neat to see the wheel just keep on spinning when the chains off..............but I think thats about all the real world gains I will notice. My motor is still waiting for bearings so I will probably only spectate this one.

No worries. I'm sending out my ECU to Dave O to get extended this week!
If need be I'll gear 18/46 and wring its neck for 200+ in case there are tough headwinds!
I WILL NOT BE DENIED!
If I stop running my 12 for whatever reason (out of nos, etc) I am willing to loan out my ECU to any 00 guy .... so they may wanna leave stock gearing and rev it out if the conditions are rough with winds to squeak 200!

Bear Velocity Stacks should be here at the end of the week. If everything goes Ok, I should have the bike together by Sunday, One week of riding and then Dyno, custom map and test runs.
I got the Kawasaki ZX12 Racing banner today.
24 days to go.

Removing the front signals and adding the short bear stacks seemed to get me 2.xx mph....but its hard to tell....different day....
money well spent nonetheless.

Don't forget the duct tape, very handy for that last minute prep job!
Super Dave tested it to 210mph.

haha....
Anyone bringing some sort of blow torch? Needed a way of warming up the mother bottle between runs....as it runs lower it transfers less and less .... not trying to do the old "exhaust manifold car/truck" trick.

It would be great to see a 12 run 200mph+, but it just does not seem too easy in Texas. Must be all the great Mexican food and BBQ. Good luck, can't wait to see everyone running some big numbers.

6'1 270. I'm looking at buying a set, but it never hurts to ask first. What brand leathers do you have? Any particular brand you recommend?
