Dunes to asphalt?

[broncbob]

I'm building a dune/hill rig, and was wondering if i could run it at the strip as well? I have a good friend that drags, and would like to get out to the track if i can.

Depending on transmission setup it can work, you'd need to keep 1st gear and set it up for a first gear launch. With the ratio's you'll be running for sand you'd be rapped out to the moon in sixth by the end of the 1/4. Most dedicated asphalt bike run overdriven drive gears so the setup is quite a bit different, but with the motor we've discussed and stock drive gears it can be a fun play bike at the strip with a few changes. So, yes...with some gearing changes you'd be ok.

Sounds like it could be a fun thing to do once or twice a year. I'm not thinking of do a lot of it, work keeps me out of town to much.

Yes, it can be done. We went from asphalt to dunes and it worked. The set-ups are totally different. Give us a idea on what you are working with and what you want to accomplish.
