Way to go , Joe! How long is the white bike? Looks like 64-66" ? Also the rider's weight? Sounds like he must be heavier than you... |

Congrats again on the win,better to be lucky than good,at the mo Joe's both.lol.If the sv had let go 1/2mile earlier we would have had an all buell final Spot on with your guess 66inch it is.And yup I'm a little bit heavier than Joe,probably nearly twice as much 220pounds 100kg. And I still couldn't get the tyre to stick,lots of wheel spin...last qualifier I nearly took the tree out! Nige |

Nige , have you done any suspension work in back? Thats a really long arm , mine sitting at 8" over with stock shock was tough to get hooking.... Half inch too much strap and it just spins so I have to leave it a tad high up front. I run 18 lbs rear, and launch at only 4500. It stands up 6 - 10 " through 1st but feels rock solid, no worries about a full stand up. I would definitely try raising your nose a wee bit ,and see if it helps. I cant wait to see what mine will do with a "drag shock" , but will be closing up this season running stock. Paul |

I've put a heavier spring on- off a triumph tiger,don't know poundage- also built in a ride height adjuster when i made the arm.12psi in the tyre.-power one. I think i'm sitting too far forward,will try sitting back a bit this weekend,not even been close to lifting the front.we've got maybe 3 rwyb plus one round left,so should get plenty of testing in. |

Barring rain I will be bracket racing tonight , but with the humidity I'm guessing our corrected altitude will be in the 2000ft range and a fairly strong breeze- so my 9 pass is probably not happening till Saturdays T&T |
