Glad you made it there safely Frank!

Masterful tease Frank.
What class and bike? Streamline or non-streamline?
Details please, pretty please.

Congrats Dennis!

Naked, the fairing has been off , before I got here.
 He ran a 136 yesterday, i believe he will try to crack the fuel record, using gasoline.
 Jerry pulled out this morning..
 Coolest I have see  it here for bike week, don't think it will break 90, yesterday or today..

Saturday morning first run netted the 138 then the back up return run was the 147.8 with NO changes. We didn't see enough 147's!

Epic battles with the Triumph. They were getting some air time from the announcer.

Did you ID the cam? So stock engine with 836?!

Sam, that bike was a built-for-show bike. Cafe Racer TV. It had so many inaccuracies and BS it was ridiculous. One article said it had a RC Cobra 826 and another said it had a RC Cobra 936. It said that Larry Spiderman McBride built the carbs at a race. That was the funniest one  ;) Said it had a MTC tranny and Fast by Gast built the engine. Also it said Mikuni carbs but they are Keihin CR and they didn't know what size. He ran it in 1000 fuel class and barely managed to set a record at 109. It's really making me think of getting my 1000 out there.

Jerry, as you know, my drag bike would run that speed at the 1000 foot mark, haha.
I guess you weren't there when we had a run in with this Preachers crew and Cafe racer TV at Valdosta or you would have remembered.
The lads spent most of the day setting the bike up for them so that Rickey Gadson could ride it on the Monday and compare it to a modern day Kawasaki who Gadson is sponsored by.
They/we eventually got it running in our pit and it was real noisy. I reached into the tool box for a long plastic handled screw driver that we had to use as a stethoscope on the motor to pin point the noise. just as I was about to put the end in the region of the cam chain, I noticed there was no oil pressure on the gauge and at that moment, the motor cut out anyway because they had not turned on the gas. hahaha.
The screw driver was about a foot long so I dipped it in the oil tank and it came out bone dry, hahaha.
I'm not sure they should be reality TV motorcycle builders, they would be better off making Westerns as they are nothing but a bunch of Cowboys.
I have a couple of pictures of them with us but they are in my old computer until I can get them transferred.

P.S. They also said that Larry had rebuilt the carbs on this one. hahahahaha.

It had a pretty lumpy cam . I did not see any I'd markings but did not pull the washer.. stock cam sprocket.
 Cam looked a bit like a grey coating, but no flat with the grind marked on it like Norris.
Dennis thinks intakes may have been oversize,  but chambers looked untouched. I forgot to check the ports.
 It had red valve retainers, so maybe RC springs. 
 And it had the CR carbs.
 Nothing too crazy in there..

Last night we went and had a few beers, Terry and I... the Preacher name never came up through the whole thing.

If somebody can give me the:

1. primary reduction ratio
2. 5th (top) gear ratio
3. Precise circumference of the back tyre

I can provide a gearing chart for you. This will show the top speed for a given RPM for various combinations of final drive reduction.

I've already done the hard work years ago for a mate who races on the roads and it's been accurate to within 1 mph @ 140mph (logged on a GPS).

2a. 4th gear 1.097
2b. 5th gear .939
3. plug in a circumference of 80" as a guesstimate, with 4th gear and a 17/48 final drive, and I'll see how it compares with my dyno readings.

Jerry..............I think it was 3 records.......we missed the M-CG by 3-tenths.  Could have gotten it with a run on late Wednesday, but did not know at the time I chose to tear down.

Thanks to all for the attention and the calculations.
