Yep it was the last runs ever besides a truck thing that was on Saturday.
Bike ran a 11.03 @ 132 through the traps. I figure with that mph it could do a much better time but like I said I’ve never staged a bike before so it was all new to me.

After the candy paint I’ve been in the air about adding badges or any emblems. Really nothing I’ve seen that compliments the paint in my eyes but that’s all personal preference.
Also yes it was an absolute blast!

Here's a couple pics and also an awesome framed photo I got.


Man that is awesome! I am an East Texas guy and have been down to that track for 30 years or so racing in one form or another. I have defiantly had fun there and will miss it. That picture is great!

I was having some fun last Sunday out with our group and almost hit the guy in front of me because of a stuck throttle.. Good thing for 2 cables.. I took everything apart last night and it turned out that the powder coating (from when I made my bars) was being rubbed off by the grip turning the powder coating back to powder binding the grip.. Cables and T-body were fine but while having it apart I also lubed both cables and cleaned an greased the inside of the grip and the bars. Smooth as butter now..

11 seconds is moving. What work have you done to the motor?

I've run my truck down a 1/4 mile but have never done it on a bike. Maybe this year. Launching it on a prepped surface seems like it could be a little intimidating.

Replaced my Memphis Shades Road Warrior Fairing (current 13" vented smoke) windshield with a non-vented 11" dark smoke. Looks way better and I don't notice the 2" I lost as far as wind buffering goes.

I'm not sure what a "fast" time for a Harley is but in the grand scheme of things I know they aren't very fast haha.
My bike started out as a V111 but has been almost completely gone through. Also its paired with a Baker transmission and chain drive. Also I was running 100 octane.
I will say I've ridden with a lot of people with much bigger motors than mine and I usually have no problem at all walking away from them effortlessly.
I just built my dyna to a 100" with heads and cams and it still doesn't even compare haha.
