thats cool.....I usually dont even use the water box unless theres somebody in front of me taking their time. I do my burnouts in 1st because i'm always afraid of forgeting and leaveing it in 2nd and try to launch it. Just remember never spin your tire in the water box...pull out of it before you start your burnout. When you hear your tire starting to squal that's when it's ready to go. I pull to the line...get my butt as far back as i can on my catalyst seat.....feet back...chest on the tank...make sure you have your elbow alittle above level....1st light...face shield down....2nd light....RPM's around 6-7 thou.....go on last yellow.....snap the clutch out halfway and slide it out past 60' foot.....feet up and im watching the tack............11,200...bang....bang...bang....trying to stay in a tire track and by 5th gear i have my helmet laying on the tank trying to squeez everything out of it.......Now do it a million times over and over again and watch your ET drop...hope this helps.

it uses the 2 metal tabs that holds your stock seat down in the front and the 2 screws that holds the the center body peice above the tailights. Couple things you need to know....taking it on and off a million times mess's up the threads on the screws...i retap'd mine out to 1/4 20 and put alittle longer screw in there (i was bending the stock ones!)....always put washers on them...mine pulled thru on one pass and the seat slid off the back of the bike....that was my oh shit moment...it didn't come off but my ass ended up where the passanger would sit. It will also scratch the hell out of your paint...no matter what you do. On the plus side it's like 8 pounds lighter than the stocker and it helps get your 60's down.
