Sixty inches of fun

Looks awesome!

I like your side stand.

Let us know how you do at the track.

*UPDATE*

Busa 6" wheel added, plus a cutdown fender and got the rest of the bodywork on too.
I don't think I can get it much lower though....:laugh:

Off to the dyno next Friday then the track, assuming it survives.

Your bike is looking good!
I think you are going to have to quit calling it your "Streetbike" though.

Nice looking bike, but I'd bet any amount you want that my stock Triumph will beat it.

(Of course, all bets are off if you put a chain on yours!)

Kit...that was good,Bud...thanks for the morning humour,:woohoo:

wow!

Made 235.7hp on the dyno today...off to the track tomorrow if the weather is ok.

That is one scarey bike! I am always impressed when someone has both brains and balls, and does something with them. make sure we hear about all of your world records.

Well I had some electrical and shifting problems yesterday so only managed a 9.70 out of the "old boner", but here is the dyno chart from Friday. And they say V-twins make torque...

Wow! That's roughly 300 hp per liter! Certainly impressive

Are you still running without a wheelie bar? And if you are, how much trouble are you having
keeping the front end somewhere near the pavement?

Bars are for drinking in... :laugh:

It was wheelieing in every gear last year with 195hp but now it is really low it's not a problem with 235.
The pictures don't really convey how low it is,
and even though it's relatively short wheelbase
you can launch pretty hard as long as the weight
it carries is low and as far forward as possible.
The turbo Busa 60" bikes run well into the 7s with over 400hp so with the right chassis setup you don't
need bars or a super long swingarm to run quick.

Sorry about having to edit your post, but I had to reformat it so I could read it all.
Your Dyno chart is pushing the text off the page

I have never ridden a 150 hp bike, heck not even a 100 hp bike, so I can only imagine what
a rush it is to open the throttle with 235 hp
