Wish the video quality was better. Tomorrow will be 53 for the high here, maybe Lucky14 will come to Yello Belly drag strip and shoot some video of the ZX-14r, the track is the slickest in Texas, it would be great to try the traction control on,

It's been 7 months since I have been on a drag strip so I may be a little rusty, and I have to get use to stock wheelbase again, I just saw Kennedale is open all year round so I may go there to get real times, I'm more concerned with the mph not the et, that will show horsepower, the et will show my ability to ride a swb ZX-14r, the 14r has a Brocks front end lowering strap and brackets, rear has Soupys adjustable lowering links, Muzzy M14/10 from JZX Joey, no pc, I just filled up on pump gas so that will add weight hehe, that's it. 15 miles on the od, I will change the oil before I go.

Awesome, thanks. Hope to see some big mph, I know gen 1s where I'm at only run 146-147mph piped. Hopefully you have better air than I do.

Not gonna hit 50 degrees until 2 pm, according to weather.com.
Prolly not a good idea on a track with little to no prep at those temps. I assume that the stock tire is still on it.
EDIT: You just posted maybe Kennedale while I was posting. That *might* work ..........
____________
You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

With today's air temp and a weight of 220 unsuited, on an 07, the mph for 1/8th mile is usually 121 with a few 122's. Stretched bike of course and geared too. I'm hoping the '12 model matches that mph or greater at swb. That would impress the hell outta me.

Rusty rider (sorry Wheelie!) on a SWB torque monster?
I'd be shocked if he matches a streched and geared 07 in the 1/8th.
