I'm no frame builder/expert but it seems to me that you still have a stock frame with all the factory brackets/subframe with just the a-arm front end of another stock frame welded on to it :shrug: If i was you running a stock stroke/cylinder in that frame i would personally invest in an override at least.Your gonna want every 10th of a second you can get out of that bike.A set of alky carbs would help too..Keep us posted on the times and such man.It's looking good so far Quote

dragbanshee98 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Posted March 23, 2009 it had crossed my mind but i would have to go to a override tranny and that is to much to invest so i am not goin to make that much of an investment Quote
dajogejr Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 That frame is definately different looking, that's for sure. Since it's a drag only bike, let me know when you need an override... Stockers drag ported right on meth make some serious power....I just can't see a drag built purpose bike without an override being effective or consistent. It'll be fast, don't get me wrong.... Lookin good... Quote
