maverick1441 I was running 18/42 I think slugger was 17/39 ... JT was running 17/37 ...

I'm thinking that at my weight that this gear ratio is probably best. I may order a 39 to test it out though.

These stock wheelbase bikes get angry every now and again.

Check out the left foot already headed up to make the 1-2 shift.

No matter the sprocket combo, you still hit 155 with that same sprocket. In other words, it's not the sprocket, you look at it that way.

WOoo Hoo ridethat Mutha mav, even when they comeup like that there still very ridable, 14's rule

That is SO cool...awesome Mav!Rock on brother...rock on.

Vey Cool picture .. But the picture showed me two things that are killing MPH ...While the tire you have hooks very good it's a MPH killer ... Add to that low psi KILLS MPH big time .. Brocks slugger bike ran the factory tire at STOCK psi .. That is right 41 PSI .. I ran a power one at 39 PSI .. That could have a lot to do with your great ETs and Low MPH ..

Say the 155 was achieved at 28 psi or whatever pressure he used, it's still lower than the low 40 psi number of the other bike you go matching up things.

I was running 36 psi that day. I agree that the hook up is super sticky and is probably killing the top end. I will give the Michelin a shot if you recommend it.

We have another cool weekend coming up so I will pump up that psi to 45lbs and let her rip.

What happened to 41?

Well...may as well 'go over' some...at least Mav'll find out if he's heading the right direction with those pressures.Course...by the time he hits the back end...that tire'll probably be around 50ish at least;)Kick ass Mav...and blow em away Bro!

Yeah Nasty I will use that pressure as a baseline. If it hooks then great and if it spins I will drop it back down. Sometimes you gotta stab in the dark to find that lurking beast.

I hear ya there.

It's called rolling resistance, and on a cool day I think smoking has it on the nose running michelin (all I ride On) and 39 should get you good hook, at least that is works when I go out to the track.

It's looking like the Power One is around $260 compared to the Shinko for $140. Looks like the money is best spent elsewhere. The tire i'm using will carry me through the rest of the season. It's hard to justify moving away from a tire that has NEVER spun with me at the line and will dead hook on a full power, front strapped, aggressive launch 90% of the time on the street when I'm playing around close to the house.

They have air pressure sensors in the connies. Too bad not in the 14's dragbike platform. They have the tech to set the pressure for a tire, you watch the dash dial you in like the red lights do.

Yeah but if you want your mph back you have to get your rolling resistance down, the power one will hook for you!!

I got the michelin 2ct on mine and they hardly spin and spin at the track and thats a street tire, but the power one is a hooker!

Maverick BROTHER! That pic is awesome!!!! Just a frickin awesome moment in time! You look focused, sharp. I love it!

I am most calm when all hell is breaking loose around me.

Thats a racer rite there

Ada boy Mav! Ghostrider has the ball, roger ball!

Pressure is at 30.30
Temp is at 65 currently and the dewpoint is at 47.
Humidity is at 46%.

DA is 530 and falling! I'm gunning for 8s on a SWB tonight and I won't be satisfied until I break into that zone. There is a small group of riders that have broken into the 8s bracket on stock motor stock wheelbase street bikes and I WILL have my name on that list. O and still footshifting as well.
Once I do it with stock bearings, stock wheels, stock shock, and stock wheelbase I may stretch her on out and see how far into the 8s I can dig. We will see what an average skill average weight rider can do. I will let you guys know.
