A few people have asked for a vid of the king at the strip, so here is a couple of vids cut together from last nights street meet at WSID Eastern Creek.

I got my 11 second pass, only just. 11.993 @ 111 mph.

The bike has a major handicap - the guy on it. I just couldnt get everything right. I would get the launch right and then hit the limiter on one of the shifts. Its a frustrating sport, there is much more to getting a good pass than meets the eye.

The first vid is with the screen on. The et was 12.319 @ 113 mph. Note the big rev limiter hit in 1st and I tagged it again in 2nd. Watch the shift light next time dunce!

The second vid was the best run of the night, 11.993 @ 111 mph.

The third is an on board. Its super shaky but you get the idea of the sound anyhow. It was 12.094 @ 112 mph and was the last run with the screen on. All the runs had the saddlebags on, the bike and I tipped the scales at 477kg (1050lb).

 

Congrats

 

..cool video!..couple of questions came to mind, 1. what does a stock Road King do in a quarter..I'm guessing high 13's.. 2. what was the bike racing next to you 3. what is the basic set up in your motor?(compression, cam, cubic inch, and headwork?)....

 

1. I rode a 2012 103 SG 3 weeks ago and I would say with the right rider you should get a high 13 out of it. There is a mid 11 in my bike with the right rider, or if i get lucky.

2. In which vid? The on board vid was a TLR 1000 Suzuki. The 11.993 vid was a softail with a 103 and 620 cams. Sounded wilder than my bike! Dont remember the other one.

3. Check the signature. S&S 124 Hot Set Up Kit. 4 5/8" stroker. Forged everything. Compression 10.8:1. Heads are S&S CNC ported with triple springs, roller rockers etc. Its actually a touring motor, the mid range is stronger than the top end. 680 cams would be better for the strip.

 

Just when you think you have seen it all, now we have touring bikes at the drag strip. Nice pass though, congrats!

 

..thanks Triple K...yes should have noticed your sig stats...that's one monster between your legs!...

 

Congrats
Put a bottle on it and you should dip into the 10's

 

Not sure if you have checked out Clark Hemrick racing. Clark is not doing so good and could use all our best wishes.

Interesting, are you through with the engine, or are you going to try more mods?

 

Pretty cool.

Do you remember what the 103" softail ran?
