I like the calcs.............but the salt and elevation/wind are known as the 'Great White Dyno'..............with minimal wind, the 16x45 allowed the motor to get into its sweet spot..........I believe the 16x44 would have pulled about 5 mph in either open (naked) or PS.........but most of the good news is that the motor feels, sounds, and now looks like the rings have seated (no honing marks) providing a bit more compression........on more than one run I felt the rear wheel spin and attributed it to loose salt from other bikes....my crew said they could see a rooster-tail when in 2nd & 3rd gear........the bike stayed straight and always felt well planted.....Frank did take one trip with us to the starting line and said he felt more 'into' the experience........The '69 Triumph Trident was built by Tom Mellor and has a reported 85 RWHP...........Scottly, if you bring your dyno you will also need a good generator.
