If it were me, I would have went farther back. I went 9" over stock and got my 60ft down to 1.42's and I weigh close to 230 suited

I am at 69" with a best of 1.33 60' stock engine with good cool weather. Average 1.39-1.41 in the heat, 205 lbs suited.
If your track holds it, suspension/gearing is set up right, and have a sticky rear tire (Michelin,Shinko U-soft, Micky Thompson), your 60' will come down.

How do you guys deal with the extra wheel spin you get with the extended swingarm? I can't get this thing to stop spinning in the streets in 1st and 2nd. I'm running 6" over and 16/43's. I weigh 225. The bike can't leave in a straight line from 0 or any speed in 1st without major wheel spin, no matter what the temps are.

try about 12 psi in a shinko and it should stick, also riding on the street is alot different than the track, on the street you HAVE to fineness the clutch a little more to not shock the tire to bad on the track you can toss the clutch IF the track is prepped right

Also, if you know you are going to be spinning on the street, for those of you street racing with an air shifter, DO NOT try to shift the bike while spinning. You will likely bend a shif fork or tear up other sh*t in your tranny.
Extended wheelbases are not good for hooking on the street. But if you must do it, try a Shinko slick...they stick to anything.

16-43 is good, I am 16-44, but with my wheelbase, I don't worry wheelies. At your wheelbase, you will wheelie if you use a 44, unless you ride the heck out of the clutch.
What is your weight, you may need upgrade your shock, or tighten up your existing shock so that you don't bottom out.
Keep practicing!!

im 200 suited. my bike really hasn't been et at all just put a good no flies map in and she really feels different. a guy at the track told me my bike looked out of balance, he said that i had my back too low no room for it to squat. but I thought the lower you are the harder you can launch your bike.

Yes the lower the better, but make sure you aren't bottoming out your undertail.
Got any pics?
