I ran a super gas dragbike for around 10 years. Low 9's at over 150.
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!

That is a pretty mean looking machine, Rick!

I'm very excited about motorcycles these days.

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.
