Swingarm extentions, lowering links installed...it's finished!!!
Just thought you guys would like to see what 8" over stock looks like. Lowered the back about 2", the front is down only abou 1/2", but I have the strap. Used the original rear brake line, interestingly it's long enough.

This weekend. I'll have pics and video. I have a camera mount for the gas tank, so I'm gonna video my runs. Just gotta find somewhere to upload them.

Wow looks fantastic. I'm looking forward to the videos. Which brand lowering links/swingarm extension did you use?

Again it looks fantastic, can you post a pic of what the left side of the bike looks like with the exhaust pipe missing? Thanks so much, Steve

Ah, can't do that, that's the "secret" side. LOL, just kidding. When I get home I'll take some more pics of it, and video of me running at the track. Will probably be just a tank mount camera, as I don't have/trust anybody to video me while making a run.

Thanks, I just hope I don't embarass myself at the drag strip, but I probably will. Looking for 9.7's with my 200lb ass on the bike. I got the shinko tire, but its gonna be a mad rush when I get home. Dyno tune, ride the bike home, rip off the rear wheel, take it to the bike shop to get tire changed, then back on the bike. Suit up and go racing by 4pm Friday.
I may just skip the Friday race all together and go to the closer track for a full day of test and tune.

In the Southern Louisiana heat, in the middle of the day??? You gotta be kidding me, LOL.
I think I'm gonna have a traction problem more than anything else. But the Shinko 003r I bought only cost about $100 shipped, so I'll just melt the hell out of it and hope it hook, I don't bog, and the front end doesn't come up too high. Even if all those occur, I still look at the mph. Need about 147 or so to make 9.55, and a 1.61 or better 60' time.
I'll have the video camera on there, so you can see what happens. Just need to figure out where I can upload a couple hundred meg .wmv that won't take forever for you guys to watch. I may just make a few smaller vids of the runs, along with the times, and upload them somewhere.
Man, if it rains this weekend im gonna be SUPERPISSED. I may even drop a F#ck Bomb.

Bike looks great! The stock tires might suprise you. I run at a shitty track and the worse i had to take them down too was 12psi. I found small burnouts just until the tire squals works the best with a shinko. Just to let you know we dropped 10 psi in a shinko and lost 3mph thru the traps. Oh and cool about the brake line i was wondering if that would work, how many links are in that chain?

I dunno, I bought a 144 link non o-ring chain, it was like $108 bucks. Yea, I've made about 25 passes with the stock tire at 41psi and sometimes didn't even do a burnout and have never spun it. But I think after the dyno run it will be toast. I have the regular compound Shinko, not the ultra-soft. Not sure what pressure to run in it. I want to ride it home, and I don't want to have to fill it up with air. I think it will be pretty much trial and error.
The chain does tend to hit the swingarm occasionally, but its not hurting anything. I'm hoping to dyno it on Friday, and hoping it gets completely stretched by doing that so I don't have to worry about adjusting it to much.
