Somebody, and I don't remember who, posted that comment on a thread a while back. Seems if it involves a motorcycle and going as fast as you can, even if it is as short as a 1/5 mile oval, it has to be good.
So, this is where I have been all winter.
The highlights: The motor is tilted forward 15 degrees to allow room for a 2 into 1 intake and a single 38mm Mikuni, also created room to move the swingarm pivot forward. After a completely new rectangular swingarm riding on 4 sealed ball bearings the pivot was able to be attached to the spine tube as well as the side frame tubes to increase stiffness. Hand fabricated 65mm offset triple clamps (thanks to Frank and Matt C. for setting me up with the aluminum and rotary table), gold valving, progressive springs, Red Wing Hammerheads provide the suspension. Wiesco 707 kit, radical exhaust porting, better springs all around, 1 5/8 2 into 2 exhaust, Compufire ignition on the motor. Plus 100 or so other mods and here it is.
It rips!! Going to race it Sat night May 10th in Winchendon MA if all goes well. Never raced dirt before, should be fun.
Any advice for a newbie flat track racer??
