Smokin',
Frozen shoulder syndrome is a bitch for sure. I rehab patients post surgery for that. Lots of moist heat, range of motion therapy, ultrasound therapy, be patient and keep at it.
That bike sounds beastly. Almost downright scary.
I go to rehab 3 times a week , The gals are really nice but they can put me in Hell at times ... But it is helping ..

Keep on following the home exercise program. Finger walking up a wall, pendulums with the arm, just follow the instructions given to you, and don't rush it by going out and holding on to some giant monster engined bike.
Crap like that can set you back months even if there wasn't a mishap.
I don't envy you. I know how painful it can be being that I've seen so many others go through it.

+1
when you do the pendulums, try holding something light (5lbs or less) and tracing the letters of the alphabet while your hand is hanging there. It really helps my jacked up shoulder when it's sore. Hope you get well soon.

no spray yet ..... lee wouldn't let me turn it on until he felt comfortable with the bike. but
there really was alot of stuff going on with getting the shifter to work and changing gearing. Maybe the NOS will get turned on tonight if everything else works out ok.

Update :
We made it to the Friday night bike night at Bradenton Motorsports Park.. As you know i was NOT going to ride the bike , so the hunt was on for a light weight Pro Jocky ..
I found two riders that i felt safe with and that could also put down a good number..First one was a small guy ( 160 pounds ) That is very well known rider but for reasons known to me i will not print his name .. He made one pass and didn't want anything more to do with the bike after that first pass .. He said he could not hold on , the wind was to much for him ..He ran a 9.10 at 160 ..
Second was was a very skilled rider weighing in a 185 and his name is Johnny Turbo .. Johnny had no problem with the bike being Naked and didn't care if he had to eat some 160 MPH wind ... He did have a problem holding on so Roy removed the seat and made him a bump stop under the seat .. That worked and Johnny could stay in place and not slide back ...Johnnys Best was just a bit slower than my best of 8.80 @ 163 .. Not bad seeing Johnny had me by 35 plus pounds ..
We have a new plan in the works for more Drag testing .. One > Get the Fairings back on .. Two > Get the bike to 68 to 69 inch wheel base and Three > Drop the gearing back to 17/43 from the 18/43 we are using now .. ..

.. I feel that once my Shoulder heals and with Fairings installed , more wheel base and the right gears it will run 8.50s .. It has the MPH to do it ... Judging by my 06 zx14 with a 30 shot running 8.50s @ 163 .. My bike made 207 with that 30 shot .. Roys bike is making 210 HP on motor so the numbers line up .. I just need to get Roys bike to run in the 1.30s 60 foot times and get the throttle on faster to lower the 330 times ... The back half will take care of itself ..

What ? I'll take a guess and say you are asking about Roys shock ? Roys is using a stock shock with a heavier spring .. What spring i have no clue .. whatever it is it works fine .. The bike dead hooks .. I just set the shock to my setting just like my zx14 .. It does need more arm , anything over 3500 you are at 12:00 looking at the stars before you get to the 60 mark ..Air shift to second gear and wheely all the way in second gear till you hit third gear.. Press third and the tire gets to see the ground again ..

Sorry, what shock is on Roys bike? I was just thinking of the torque that the bike produces is pretty stout for the stocker.

Congratulations Roy. I was waiting to hear how it was going in Florida. Sounds good.
I was an eye opening experience... everyone that jumped on the bike did a shake down run in the 8.80's...
backhalves were picking up 32- 33 mph ... that really makes me want to loose 50 lbs :-)
I am not far off of their 60' times ( .1 slower ) and my 1/8 mph was only 3 mph slower. But the extra weight ( 100 lbs ) is keeping me out of the 8's :-(
I think the setup I have will get any average rider into the 8's .... Rich do you want to get it a try when I get back to NC ?

Not even a fair question. I'd love to, but your bike and my bike are not even close from the sounds of things. Don't read that as I'm scared. Read that as I can't afford to buy your bike. Let me get some more practice at the strip and it would sound like a good idea.
