New best ET...

KINDA, first time to strip with dope, Bike went 9.15@158.75 with a 1.61 60', 4.11 330'. 1/8 was 6.10@127.66. Also went a 9.22, 9.24 and a 9.25 all at 156.5-157.5 depending on bottle pressure. All of these runs were on the same 2lb bottle with only heating it once. Only went 9.45@149.51 on motor and a bunch of 9.47s-9.52s@149. Still can't get my 60's back. I had one run that I had a 1.58 60' but missed 5th gear and coasted through the traps to a 9.32@146 on spray. Once I get a new clutch, chain and some seat time, I think it will go some high 9.00s-.10s on squirt and same ole 9.30s(what it usually runs on motor) on motor. Mind you the temp was 92 degrees and humidity was 85%. Gonna keep playin with the stocker and see what shes gonna do before she pops! BTW this is stock wheelbase on a d207 rubber.

Nice job Alan! Pretty damn good for ~59" of wheelbase. I assume its lowered?
What kind of pipe are you running? What kind of gearing? You're almost as fast as Bergie...hehe

Gotta a HMF pipe, yosh stage one cams, modded box, no filter, custom map. Its lowered down to the 2" clearance limit and its stock swingarm with the axle half way back. D207 zr tire. My 60's are usually 1.55-1.57 but at the track sunday night I only one 1.58 and the rest were crappy 1.60-1.63s. Just the weekend before last the bike went 9.39@150 on motor. This was the first trip out with the nitrous working right and I was timid on my launching. Need a fresh clutch and some seat time. She will be back in the 9.30s on motor and 9.00s on squirt soon. This is with temps in the mid 90s, humidity in the 85% and a motor with 17k miles/700passes. HAHAHA Oh yeah this is on a busa though.

Damn nice run. 127 in the 1/8 is flying.
Cams and pipe put your mph at 149?
WOW!

Ninja 12R, back at 9k miles(8k ago) and in the winter time with a rich winter map it was going 150-151mph. 121-122 in the 1/8. It has slowed down some but it recently dynoed 173hp in a hot/humid dyno room on a dyno that reads 2-3hp off, (Cheese Performance) I think with some good air and a tad more fuel, it will go 150-151 again. Actually sunday night I went 150.35 one time but could never back it up. Tailwind maybe? Who knows. Two weeks ago(first time out this year) it went 150-152mph on motor but I had a huge tail wind. 17k miles, can't complain! I would LOVE to go 8.90s stock wheelbase but.....it would take a 1.45 60' and a 3.90 330' plus a little more in the 1/8 to do it. Don't think its ever gonna happern without swingarm extensions or maybe keep it short and throw some pistons and bigger cams in it. We will see. Where the hell is Entropy at??

that's good running for stock motored Bus Alan, and some great mph for the Bus too.

I like that you're using stock rubber too, that's how I used to do it before my friends bought me a Schinko. I got a 2nd rim and now swap back and forth.

Post some more as you get more seat time.......

Impressive for sure on a stock wheelbase bike, no matter what kind!
I've never seen a 8 second standard arm bike but I believe you are on your way....Good Luck.

BA, I also have a 2nd wheel, it has a 190mm D207, hooks pretty decent on the track with the suspension setup I have if the track is prepped, sucks on the street. I have my original wheel with a 200mm BT010 that I run on the street. I didn't want to square the tire off at the strip so....eventually I will try a shinko or something but I didn't want to give up the mph for the additional bite. My weak ass 1.61 60's don't require MUCH traction. LOL The motor does have yosh cams and they are degreed but the rest of the internals are bone stock with 17k miles. Even the original springs and valve job. Valves are so caked up with carbon its not even funny but....$$$ I dont realistically see it going 8's without an arm, a Mickey and maybe a tad more dope but.... I would be happy with some high 9.0s with the street tire, stock arm and basically stock motor with small dope. I will keep you guys posted.

BA, how is your ride running these days??

You mean this one Alan??








I've been working on replacing my shift forks and getting my swingarm powdercoated along with the pegs and other stuff.

She actually looks much better right now. I'm working through two problems. #1 - battery appears to be dead. #2 - rear wheel not spinning very freely. It's tight and 'sticks'. (I just replaced my shift forks)

Was hoping to make it to the track tonight but I guess it wasn't meant to be.....

Great times Alan...
I believe it IS possible to go 8s with your wheelbase...if you can spray it soon enough
Ask Dean-o...he has been stuck in the 1.50s for a while now but...still goes 8s
If you can get closer to 160+mph it WILL be close to 8s for SURE...just not sure it will happen for you this summer ...

Hey BA can you extend the arm on the cherrypicker and do that from the front????

That way you would have total acces to the rear of the bike.

DR JOE: That arm does extend out even farther so I probably could have done that! Almost did it from the side too!

ya know, the setup wasn't very stable actually. The bike started getting an ugly lean to it! I ended up putting the front wheel stand on for a wider footprint up front, and had to do some tightening on that yellow strap.
That strap is a tow strap from my old 4x4 Bronco I used to have.

Crazy looking, but it worked.
