Took my new S-1 to the drags last night, had just installed the launch box,shift lite, wheelie bar, and air shifter, all worked well except darn shift lite. Air shifter is sweet. On an old hard Dunlop I ran a 11.13. Cannot wait for new Shinko drag tire and get the shift lite fixed!!!
This is a 95" S&S motored 1997 S-1, makes about 125 HP.

A fireman with a fast red motorcycle! Nice. That's the way it should be.
Glad it's not a hi-viz green!

Is that a custom exhaust system?

My reaction time sucks, 60 foots are 1.7's. Got a new Shinko drag shootout tire on to replace the 5 year old Dunlop and replaced the old Power Arc ignition with a Crane, hopefully shift lite will work better now. Will see tonight.10's anyone?
Blake, unsure of clutch but bike was built by Modesto back when they were deep into Buells. No drama so far.

Jim, that bike should be way quicker than an 11. Leave as hard as you can stand to and shift at 6500 min. That bike should easily run 10.50's. Frank.

I agree and I am sure it will when I get it all figured out, not bikes fault for sure. It would be the dope riding it.
