The only time you hit the rev limiter is when you're revving it too high...........

Ya think?

FYI I used to run crotch rockets at the strip about every other weekend....About 6 years ago. Just got to get back in the groove of things....And get a shift light that works!

Next year I will try a few different things. Along with a bigger engine

Great pix Chad. Thanks for posting them.

the 250# payload is holding you back a little, your 95" motor should run low 12s....

Boy, talk about a drag.......6'2'' 250 Yep that would add just a tad more than a few tenths on that clock.

Ride safe,

Man... I haven't been to Byron in ages. We were kind of up that way - Marengo - on a run out of Alley 64.

What were your reaction times?

4 runs in 4 hours doesn't seem too unusual for a weekend test & tune. I haven't been to a Wednesday night T&T at Rt 66. I wonder how crowded those are.
