Bars are too high and not enough tire. ;)
Don't get yourself hurt buddy.
I ran a super gas dragbike for around 10 years. Low 9's at over 150. :D

dear god.....

Very nice bike man!
Here in town they run super bikes with extended rear frame to keep the front wheel on the ground.

:eek:

It's true. Used to do the Tri-State circuit up here. Ran in quite a few national events. Was even on ESPN a couple times.
Divorce ended all that fun shit. Had to liquidate all non-essential assets to cash. A .45 round and a plane ticket to Mexico would have been cheaper.

and a lot more personally satisfied too I'm sure :laughing:


Been there, done that... thought about the other :rofl:

Interesting shit you learn when the old guys start talking about their previous lives lol

I never would have guessed......sounds like lots of fun. :thumbsup:

You do realize the bars are adjustable, right? ;)

150/80 is about all the tire you are going to get under a stock Sportster and is plenty up to the task. Built this one with AHDRA SEP class in mind...11.50 index.

It's awesome. You're gonna whack second gear, the boost is gonna come on, and it's going to smoke the piss outta that tire.
Seriously, it's an awesome build. I like it.:)
11.50 will put you around 120mph. Not a lot of rake on it, watch for speed wobble.

I've already run the piss out of it Scott up and down the road doing data logging. This turbo is not peaky like some...it's almost in boost off idle. Runs up to 120mph so far have shown no ill handling, but it will be getting a steering dampner anyway for good measure.

Next change looks like it will be the seat...not enough lip in back and when shifting it wants to shuck me off the rear lol!

Air or electric shifter. ;)

That is a pretty mean looking machine, Rick!

I'm very excited about motorcycles these days. :D

Hoping like hell I can afford to pay mine off enough this summer so I can ride it some.

No air or electric shifter for this one. Gains would be minimal as I can shift clutchless with barely a blip of the throttle. If this were a dedicated strip machine I would probably consider it, but it will eventually be taken to Bonneville or Wilmington Ohio for land speed runs...little use for that there. The entire reason for the dragstrip time is to finalize tuning...I despise dynos. ;)

Understood. :)

videos of the land speed runs please :) should get a helmet cam

That would be awesome. loool

I'll be getting a nice HD helmet cam before next winter. :)
Looking for one that will run on 12v and has a big HD though......I want to be able to run it on highest resolution all day and night.

I have one, but it is not of great quality. I'll get me one of the GoPro's before too long...they do wonderful video and audio.

I did not make it to Bonneville this year, but here is a pic of Jason from this weekend with his turbo'd Sportster w/ sidecar. He is in the impound there and will likely leave with a record run.

Been awhile since I last visited...hope all you guys are doing well. Update on the bike scene...sold both Sportsters and have a ex-police bike inbound from New York.

Still undefeated on X3 benchmark I see...;) http://forums.extremeoverclocking.co...d.php?t=307081

Hey Rick hope everything is going good for you... Nice pics bro :)

Hope all is well with you too buddy!

I've been good kids getting bigger and I'm just getting older XD

I need to fix up my ninja one of these years.... I miss riding

oh wow! nice bikes man!

btw i moved to Murfreesboro! if school work isn't too busy may beable to visit you sometime

You must be attending MTSU...lots of girls there. :thumbsup:

Howdy Rick, what's new bro ?

Good morning WD! :)

Yes sir, just for semester.
I am at a point i don't even know what to do with myself XD

Ahhh grab a few of those girls and and eff the hardware .............. :laughing:

kinda came out wrong, it's more on the edge of not being able to decide what to do FIRST XD

I am sure I can ask MD and he'd be gladly giving advices :rofl

too many choices

Latest bike is another '07 Sportster. This one I have upgraded to 1250cc and I'm in the process of tuning it. Hope to get some 1/4-mile runs soon...will be testing it with the turbo at a later date.

Nice ride bro, in for some times ......... :thumbsup:

did you make any runs before upgrading it to compare to ?

I'm Sure

Its like a seat with some wheels attached to a rocket :scared:

It's awesome. I like the simplistic look. :)

Thanks guys - I just swapped the 5-3/4" headlight for a 7" version to better spot those pesky deer at night.

Handsome rig Rickster.

Been 13 years since I took a car down the track...got a chance to do it again this weekend and I may be hooked again lol. 1967 Camaro E/SA Stock Eliminator is the ride and I may just have to invest in this one.

Is that a 350 bored out? Its still roomie under that hood or else I'd guess a bigger block. Stock would mean a 350 with a few, helpers. What a rush it must be, very clean Camero! Take off a few things like door panels and factory air, fiberglass front clip you got a 10 second bracket car. A few tweaks to the carb :thumbsup: Yer smoking!!! ENJOY!


What numbers did you run?

way cool bro ............. :thumbsup:
