Thanks
I hope to keep the pistons looking sexy. The bike had a problem in 2011 with the nitrous system. in late 2010 the system worked. I made enough power to go over 121mph a number of times. Best was 121.8. I was at 122 on the track but I was making so much power the clutch was slipping.
Over the winter something must have gone wrong. I don't know what but the bottom line is a put holes in 5 sets of pistons. Lucky for me I do my own engine work.
I don't want to place blame on the company that makes the kit. I think they did there best. But for MY application it was not working. And Because I had to send the parts to them to adjust rather than set up the system my self I had to change systems.
For 2012 I am using a very good very sophisticated nitrous system. I also don't want to advertise on the forum. But it will be interesting to see what happens in June.
I am running this bike in Ohio at the first ever OHIO MILE race track. The track in Maxton North Carolina in now closed . The new one mile race track is in Wilmington Ohio.

That's one hell of a hole...
I wish you good luck then with your new system!

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong
Racer, do you have more info on the track in Ohio?

your best bet is to visit the web page. Feel free to ask any questions. I have been doing this for a couple years. I also do tech inspection for motorcycles. The April race is booked up. But we race in June July and September also.
If you are in the area definitely come out to watch. It is the wildest car show ever.

I'm in Northern Illinois, but my daughter goes to Ball State U. in Muncie, IN. so maybe if I
can piggyback a trip this year during one of the dates, I'll check it out.
Where are you at?

It is very cool expensive also. But Not legal for land speed racing. My bike is what is called modified or modified partial streamlining . The next level is altered . That bike is close but breaks a couple rules. After that is special construction streamliner. For that class the engine needs a fire wall and you have to have a fire suppression system.
All that said it would be cool to see how fast it would go

Thanks.
I always wanted an old race bike, But don't have the cash for that. I picked this fairing because it won the moto GP three years in a row. I figure it could not hurt.
I finished up the lettering and stickers. I am going to start tuning at the 1/4 mile track on Saturday. I hope for good weather, We will see. I just need to run it a couple times to feel out the shift lever height and little stuff like jetting. I hope to break the TON in the 1/4 mile but I don't think it will do it. Maybe 95 mph and low 14s I hope.

Thanks there is still a lot of ninja 250 in there.
I will up date after Saturday at the track . I only go in streight lines 1/4 mile and one mile tracks . The time I am looking for in the 1/4 is 13.99 .That would be 38 hp with a 300 lb bike and 200 lb rider. I don't know how much power I am making. I guess over 35.
