Nope, King FrankenJohn you are still......but one day! Lol

Kick ass Bill. Just gonna get better. Does the bike feel as good as it sounds to us?

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #79 on:** July 31, 2016, 04:22:06 AM »

Jerry, the answer is yes, there's more in it for sure! And it goes straight as an arrow, but everything is happening a little quicker, haha! Past time for a shift light, I ain't got no time to look at a tach no more, if I'm looking at the tach , can't see the win light if opponent red lighted etc! Launching with feet on rear pegs, any motion after that clutch is out can/ will upset your forward motion! Frank, thanks for reminding me to go back to them. I'll post some time slips and Eeman videoed the 1.5 60 ft pass. Wanting more, but feeling pretty good about this package. Mike Rieck, you right, that head works well! Thank you for all you do, and anyone else. Got to see and talk with Jim F and Dave Fletcher yesterday. It was hot, but oh so much fun! Bill

Glad to hear things are coming together Bill. Consistancy will come if the package isn't a moving target, different every race.

Just pokin fun man, ride that sucker. Damn sure more fun ahead. Good luck to all.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #81 on:** July 31, 2016, 09:42:26 AM »

Glad to hear you're gonna drops 10 more lbs - that monster tach, since you can't use it. haha. That's a signature Calendar Girl item! I always found that attempting to watch the tach on a quick revver was distracting and difficult. If you know your bike, shifting by feel and sound can be second nature but perhaps a little dangerous. Shift light and rev limiter may be the way to go. Keep your eyes on the track, that #$%* is happening way quicker! Those 4 quick glances down may actually cost you a fraction of a second or create other issues.

Sorry I'm missing this! You'll have it down pat by November!! I should be in town for ~ 3 weeks.

I liked To run full out,no sandbagging dial in near your best, then hard to breakout..dont even have to look/think what the other guy does. More fun to run as hard as you can than play games..imo..
When you get real comfy with your setup, then you can think about playing the games..
Work at consistency. Once you dial in..change nothing..

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #83 on:** July 31, 2016, 01:07:22 PM »

Here's some time slips from yesterday's play! Lol, Bill

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #84 on:** July 31, 2016, 01:48:27 PM »

Looking like some heads up racing finally. What were the other bikes with similar dial ins?

madmtnmotors · « **Reply #85 on:** August 08, 2016, 03:45:43 PM »

Okay, now there weren't that many bikes at Memphis. How long does it take to tally the points for so few bikes?

dragracer · « **Reply #86 on:** August 08, 2016, 08:08:56 PM »

Ask that question to the same guy who has issues awarding points to the person advancing to the 3rd round.

WIBUR: Worrying about Points

?? you need that rev-limiter hookup before you make a miss shift and float them valves = bang...... you know that FRANK will be the points SOHC TOP 750 DOG when the dust settles, he has many runs on his " worn out 750 SOHC old parts race bike " which should be re-named "MONEY MAKER " just like the KZ 1500cc that BRUCE SAUER races in my neck of the woods and has won many rounds and CHAMPIONSHIPS at IDBA,PRO-STAR and AMA MOTORCYCLE drag racing = FRANK is the old style HONDA SOHC racer with a bag full of win tickets!!!! Still needs to win a ET. event to get my $500 HUMOR MONEY at MAN CUP $$$$$

Hey, I put forth quite a bit of effort just to get to these events, I'd at least like to see some results posted!

(results have been updated: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,160091.0.html )

I should be able to put a wrench to the bike before the next event. Rev limiter should be easy and quick to install, bushings have arrived to lower the front 1-1/2", lower handle bars, a bigger Band-Aid for the side of the fuel tank, and if I find time I'll get the longer swingarm in place. Still need to find time to practice too!

If I could prep race bikes full time and still pay the bills I'd have it made!

Up until now I haven't even had time to start the bike between events. Damn responsibilities keep interfering with my leisure pursuits!

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #91 on:** August 12, 2016, 09:06:24 AM »

What ignition are you running Wilbur? My Dyna 2000 ($) has a built in limiter. And as Pops says as I can attest, float a valve float a loan. Power shift at your risk! Been there done that. Daytona 1976.

I only have a Dyna III and a Dyna S to choose from. I have the rev limiter, just need an opportunity to install it.

Same holds true for the:
>Shift light
>Shorter handle bars
>Lowering bushings in the forks
>Longer swingarm
>"Poor boy" ignition cutout for full throttle shifts
>Larger rear sprocket
>Patches on my shirt and jacket

and on and on...

dragracer · « **Reply #93 on:** August 12, 2016, 09:43:26 AM »

I'd put priority to the lower handle bars, the shift light and the gearing for my top 3 choices. The higher ratio gearing will make the bike more aggressive out the hole so having the lower bars will help move your body further forward and downward to keep weight over the front tire. This will help calm down the potential for wheelies. The shift light will save you from over revving the engine and floating a valve---- unless there's a misshift. I'd lower the front end next, then add the longer arm followed by an air shifter. The rev limiter would be last on my list.

madmtnmotors · « **Reply #94 on:** August 12, 2016, 09:47:15 AM »

Actually, the rev limiter is number one on the list as insurance against the "missed shift", i.e. false neutral.

Now that Bill has heeded the call you're the next protégé Wilbur. Get to it!

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #97 on:** August 23, 2016, 05:43:37 AM »

Scottly, yes Cobra Girl, fixed the gasket issues and put it back together with a different but very similar cylinder head that Mike Rieck had gone through for me. Hadn't been able to get back to the dyno yet, Bill 10.7 so far and backed off so as to not breakout, broke out worse anyway.122.14mph best so far.

scottly · « **Reply #98 on:** August 23, 2016, 05:55:40 PM »

Thanks Bill. Do you know the total weight of the bike with you aboard? I'm guessing about 590 pounds??

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #99 on:** August 23, 2016, 08:11:25 PM »

Scottly, you'd be correct young man! Actually 575-590 max.
