Dragracer: I didn't build it for the drags, I wanted it to be a streetbike again for my personal use. But during its reconstruction I've developed a condition that means I won't be riding anymore. Originally a K2, it's now an 888cc, with one of Mike's heads on it, OS intake valves, a puny WebCam 41, Mikuni VM29s, APE bottom end, big rods, undercut trans, Marshall pipe (maybe not the best choice for drags). I reduced the rear rim to a 3.5 x 17", carries a 140/17 tire,
Even though its in street trim, could turn some decent times. Had I been able to ride, I was hoping to drag race it a bit for old times sake.
Anyway, I've got a friend (happens to have two WLSR, one with him as pilot)
http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/news/rayce-team-sets-land-speed-records-bonneville who almost got it broken in before bad weather hit. When the drag strip reopens (Lucas Oil Raceway) in April we look to run at the Wednesday night Run what you Brung events. At least once. If we like it, maybe more. Rick admits no experience since the 60s at dragracing, but he has roadraced quite a bit and he's not afraid to turn it up. Says he's got a reaction time simulator.
Looking forward to it.
