i will be the first to say I need to learn more on chassis set up but I can't see why roys bike would be any more prone to wheelies then say wee's bike with the aggressive gearing he's running. I really think for your weight smoking that spring was hurting you more then anything. I know at my 200 lb weight I need a 800 lb spring
Not saying you are wrong Bently and i would have no way of really knowing unless we changed springs .. I needed more time on the bike to figure that out .. I believe even with his spring i could knock off more ET with seat time and a good shoulder .. We could have used my spring and shock but we didn't and the reason i didn't swap them was because of the extra TQ .. I felt the extra TQ would over power the stock shock & spring just like it does in my car .. My 63 with a 440 making 550 HP needed a softer spring than my 500 inch motor with 750 HP ...The weight of the car didn't change just the TQ output .. Like i said it really don't know without testing a few different springs and shocks .. Roy lives 1100 miles from me so i don't think we will ever find out for sure .. Even with the pain i had fun riding the bike and i loved the extra MPH over a stock ZX14 .. Roys 1530 is a blast to ride even if it doesn't ET well .. I would have no problem using a 1530 on the street , it would be totaly useless but fun as hell ...
I disagree....on the streets it would be totally useFUL and fun :-)
lol ... You would think that !!! lol... ...

when I built the motor , I velcroed some turn signals on the bike and rode it to work for a couple of weeks while I was making the map for it ... but I did have to put the car tire on it to stop all the stupid wheel spinning :-)

wrongway, your stock engine is showing good torque with no nitrous.
This is when my motorcycle was slow with just a 40 dry shot.

What kind of car tire? I just don't see any advantage to that over a good drag style bike tire.

before a car tire, Hell yes. I would never even consider a car tire on a street bike. But to each his own. if it works for you good deal. did the bike that just went 278 run a car tire? he's gotta have you coverd by a mile in the TQ department. I don't follow the land speed stuff much is this common to use car tires? is there a web site where land speed stuff is disscussed? I would like to learn more and maybe try it someday.

Landracing.com, and topic devoted to Roy's car tire experiment:
http://www.landracing.com/forum/index.php/topic,6386.0.html
Bill Warner is running a 240 width bike tire, but he is the only one that I know of right now. I think all of the other 250+ mph bikes are using standard-sized tires. I think Bill's bike put's out somewhere near 700 hp at it's max...no telling how much he is actually using, though.

no but he was running a 240 bike tire.. and they dont make too many of those with a high speed rating .
As far as I know , I have been the only one to run a car tire. The weight didn't make any difference if you are terminal in the mile , but it would slow you down in the quarter.
landracing.com has some good lans speed stuff on it.
