Testing TracDynamics 6 to 10 inch over arm
Three weeks ago i ordered a TracDynamics 6 to 10 over swing arm and it came UPS today !!! What a sweet looking arm ....I ordered it with the S/T axle adjusters that will give me a range for 64 to 70 inch wheel base .. I had them add a lower loop ( brace) and a bracket for a 2 1/2 pound N20 bottle ...
Now for testing i'm going from 64 to 66 inch wheel base for the first test...I having problems keeping the front end down on the ground at 64 on motor and even more problems on the spray ... What i'm trying is to fine the sweet spot between spinning and wheeling , so i'm going to add a few inches at a time as to not over shoot the best spot or wheel base ..
My best 60 footer at 64 inches have been 1.38 to 1.40 and i hope this swing arm will get me down into the low 1.30s like NinjaBoys zx14 ...I will get some pictures posted soon as the work comes along ...I'm thinking it will take a few test and tune days to get the thing dailed in ... As most of you know even a little change can slow you down and you will need to do some learning on how to ride the bike ...But in the end i should go faster , i'm keeping my fingers crossed ...lol....Smokin ...

5.66 @ 125 and change 1.40 60 footer .... I had a 1.38 but wheeied my way to a 5.71 @ 125 and that was at just a little over 64 inches long on motor ...... I have the bike setting at 67 inches now, i can't go any longer because Trac Dynamics forgot to send me a brake stay .....  I'm setting up the N20 tonight ... Smokin..
