  1. LOL!

     

    Some people are still a little sensitive. I've been here a long time & put up with the HQ Circus drama. It's funny that certain people can dish shit out, but certainly can't take a little back. I could stick my head up Admin/Mod's Ass like some do & just go with the flow of shit. Nope, not me. I take my 2,175 measly posts, over 9 years & try to mind my business most of the time.

  2. Admin/Mod's, thicken up your pussy lips!

     

    Deleting threads, banning, time out or whatever else you Obama Clowns do. A few of you certainly have pussy whipped yourselves into a frenzy.

     

    I remember the old days when Tyler prided himself on not banning Member's or deleting threads/post; sorry, couple threads got deleted when lawsuits were threatened.

     

    Take a deep breath, pull your pussy flaps over your keyboard & take a bunch of chill pills.

  3. 1st, I would start would start with some cheap basics: swingarm angle & 5-10 lbs. of ballast on the front bumper bottom mounting holes. Yes, adding weight in the right places can make a huge difference. I gave an example somewhere on BHQ.

     

    With your weight, IMO lengthening the swingarm will still be needed (+10).

  4. Well, we finally got tired of talking about a bike. We were planning on buying a Hayabusa & build it into a drag bike. This deal came up & it was to good to pass up.

     

    It's a Suzuki GS conversion chassis, with a GXR 750 body & a GXR 1100 motor. The motor is basically stock with a few bolt-ons, Fast By Gas 38 lectrons, Schnitz pro series ignition & a MTC Slider Clutch.

     

    Neither Justin or I know much about riding, tuning or racing a drag bike. The drag bike guy's have always welcomed/helped with the drag quad & are willing to help with the bike also. I'm personally looking forward to tuning the slider clutch.

     

    The bike is not that fast & will run mid - high 9s @ 130+ depending on rider weight.

  5. modifiying my stock chassis , wondering what would be good for asphalt wise wheelbase , front and back , will por pics later

     

    It really depends on many different factors: motor size, rider weight, track or street, just to name a few. The common thing is to run a stock or +1" - +3"  a-arm up front & then choose a swingarm accordingly to the 1st sentence.

  6. Anyone wanna share some success stories with incorporating clutch tuning to their current set ups? I haven't been to the track enough to do any changes this year. Definitely will next year.

     

    There has been 1 or 2 shared in this thread & I've had probably around 10 shared in PMs. Plus, I've seen a few personally with my close friends/family.

     

    What I've found since starting this thread. The vast majority wants to keep the clutch information for themselves. I get many people wanting me to provide personal clutch tuning either in PMs or even with phone calls. 

     

    The whole purpose of this thread was to share the information equally with the BHQ Member's. I soon found other's coming to the site to cherry pick the information. Hence the reason(s), I keep the good chunk of privy information for myself & family (including Tedder). Not saying the information given is junk, It's a starting point of the best basics I know (Baseline, Base Pressure & Arm Weight In That Order) & a few extras. Then it's up to the end user to build on them basics.

     

    There was nothing easy about learning this stuff. It took too many years, too many runs on different/varying surfaces & I still learn to this day when I take the quad out. 

  7. We had some issues with the launch rpm limiter, the 60's & reactions were suffering. This motor has been 1.30 60' on sand.

     

    It's not easy trying to get a bike to run 1/4 mile somewhat fast with a 2.05 gear ratio. If it was, everybody would be doing it; but they are not. Anyway, I'm all ears about how we are supposed to do this right, LOL!  :D

  8. Nice!! Unless you race for money why wouldn't you post the best?

    Good run. Takes balls to run that on a Banshee.

     

    We do race for money/grudge, but that's not the only reasons we don't post our best. Even our smaller motors run much faster & so will this one. It's not worth the Forum Bull Shit hassle, that goes along with it.

     

    We very seldom run our quads all out, bracket, index & even heads-up. We take the finish line by least amount possible & if we can't beat the opponent, we kill ET/MPH at the finish line. This leaves the opportunity to grudge race for money later, without showing our hand.

  9. Here's my personal best for this season. 7.33@91mph on the 1/8. I know i lost the race because I dialed in 7.40...but my best time was 7.56 until yesterday. Still have to work on my reaction time but for a little 358 cub, I think its a good numbers. I know I can do a 7's flat...maybe high 6's with a .500 reaction time...

     

    Keep up the hard work, but don't sell yourself short with that 358 Cub. There's a BHQ Member that has put down some damn impressive runs with one. A couple of time slips have been posted way back in time, in the drag section.

     

  10. Well, I have one more points race left. The last race of the series is Sept 19th. This past weekend went OK, but 2nd & 3rd in points closed the gap on me. They haven't posted the points yet, but I should still be in 1st.

     

    Whether I Win or not, I'm qualified to run for the Division 7 Championship in Fontana, CA. Oct. 1-4.

    I did some testing/racing 15 & 16 Aug. there. The track is at a lower altitude & had to DETUNE the car to be legal. I guess I missed the detune, OOPS!  Next pass was a 10.005, still cutting it a little too close.
