Nice, just talked to Larry Hayes and Kenny, come November, they'll run each other in Qualifying or something. Two badass Honda's! Going to visit Larry in 2-3 weeks. K.  ;D

Not sure what electronics you guys intend to use but for simplicity( all in one), the Schnitz Pro Series 2 ignition controller is the only way to go. This box one does it all- progressive timing retard/advance, progressive nitrous controller, auto shift, auto tranny controller, 2 step rev limiter, and a host of other features you would likely never use. I've got them on 3 out of our 5 bikes. They are simple to wire- it comes with full instructions and a color coded wiring harness. Why use 4 or 5 seperate Dyna devices/nitrous controllers when box will do it all at the turn of the knob and press of the button.

The attached pic is one on my 8.88 index bike.

Oh yeah, you might want to consider this as well for the hand clutch to synchronize the release of the clutch with the 2 step release point. Better yet, if you do decide to not to use the Pro Series 2 box and intend spray at the drop of the lever with no delay, i  think FBG has a dual adjustable clutch switch so you can also synchonize the nitrous start time versus the clutch 2 step release point. If you don't start the nitrous after the 2 step is off, you're subject to run through the clutches in a heart beat.

Not trying to be a smart a$$ or a know it all, just offering my experience when using nitrous and a hand clutch bike. But then i know you guys are already knowledgable about all this stuff. Like everyone on this forum, I just want to see this bike come off the trailer and make some killer passes. Can't wait to see it in person.

If that Pro Series 2 box wasn't $1K, I'd go for it and eliminate the multiple controllers I'll have to hide in my bike.

All of the ones I own were bought used for $600 or less. Dragbike.com, eBay, psychobike ads have them all the time.

HAND CLUTCH ? Those folks leave off a button where I live at = up NORTH. Frank you know them got "BRUCE BIKES" are button box bikes as yesterday I stripped down my OLD HAND CLUTCH-two stepping ZIR KZ as old school is a hard win against those many box bikes now a dayz. I did beat BRUCE one time in 15 years on a Wednesday NIGHT RACE after a .001 light ....... his[ BRUCE ] many Championships IDBA, PRO-STAR and AMA PRO-STAR was on box bikes. Tell them to stop by COLUMBUS on their way heading South and they can race box bikes running 8.20, 8.60, 8.90, 9.90 or old school SS 10.90 AND THEY CAN THROTTLE STOP THEM to most any numbers.

Don't worry much about the temporary closure. Its in receivership and will be run by a temporary manager from what i read. I'm sure the business was making money, but certain portions of the proceeds that should have been paid to the state weren't submitted properly. The last thing any governmental entity wants is to run a business- they just want their money. We will be racing come November at SGMP in my opinion. Not sure if we'll see Ms. Kim there or not.

Looks great Kenny. Put some guts into it like the CycleX 915 kit running 135 here on the salt water at Bonneville Lake/Salt Flats.
