65" of Ghetto Fabulous

Oh yeah 65" of Ghetto Fabulous baby

Yup I just got my Coby Adams adj arm on tonight (thanks for the chain Doug!) and figured I give it a ride at 65" wheelbase for laughs! OMG! It's insane!

All I need now is a big gold mercedes emblem and a couple hoes to work the corner for me and I'm set because this bike is crazy pimp now!

Just rode it around for a couple hours to stretch the chain and such and tomorrow I'll set it forward to 60" so it's ridable and class legal. Maybe after the season is over I'll stretch it back out and see if I can get a good sixtyfoot time with it in limo-mode! Awww yeah boyeee

BTW does anyone else run 60" wheelbase? What kind of 60ft improvements did you get going to 60" or 64"? I've been running stock arm up to this point and I'm anxious to see what if anything is to be gained. I'm sure I'll have to learn to launch all over again, any pointers?

I have a pointer: twist the throttle

64" is night-and-day different from 60". You should gain maybe 2 tenths from your short times - if not the 60' then the 330 for sure. Careful - you may not want to go back...

Bike looks great BTW.

I just put on the 4-7 inch bolt on extensions and ran a 1.59 60 ft with the front end staying down. with a better tire I will lower that to mid 1.50's

I'd recommend cutting the rest of the fender off and remounting the license plate out of the way so it doesn't get sucked up in the fender when the tire hits it. Getting to WFO was the biggest difference I noticed. Took a few passes getting used to the fact I could get wide open in first gear. My 60s dropped from low 1.6s to low 1.5s immediately with 4" of added arm and a stock tire. I'm also hoping to run a 60" class next month but I'm just gonna try a longer chain for now.

If I run 1.63 ~ 1.68 average 60's on the stock arm, what should my goal be at 60" and 64"?

luv the gold rims on the green bike man. Looks sweet.

If you're gonna go pimpin, we're gonna have to get you some kind of nickname!
Seems like there's a website for that somewhere......

Puff Bergie, P-Berg, Bergie-Z, I dunno. You'll need something.

P-Diddy Berg Z maybe........
