Years ago, when i first learned about the Buells, i came across this gif of an (i believe) S1W on the strip. I think it was white. Anyway, the guy launched the bike and it actually caught air. I have been trying to find that gif for awhile now but cannot. Perhaps someone here has seen it and/or can share it. Ive included a pic that im pretty sure looked like the one in question but i cant be sure cuz its been over a decade since ive seen it.
From what i remember, the guy got a few inches of air which is pretty cool. I think the gif im lookin for is taken from the other side of the bike. I duno tho..... |

I got that pic from here. The guy was a member a while back. I'm fairly certain this isn't the photo I'm looking for. Pretty sure it was a white s1w |

That does look like a lotta fun. Interesting that the red s1 that ebutch posted has the rear shock removed. Im guessin that its not needed on a straight line and perhaps some weight savings? |

Drag racers trick - eliminate squat, cuts wheelie likelihood. I used to run air shocks in my 72 Satellite, and would max out their pressure before a run to help with the short times and cut squat. In a 4400 lb station wagon...it would squat a LOT. And on the motorcycle, it also reduces weight. I have one of those struts around the garage somewhere...use it to hold the bike up if the shock is off for service. |
