new tank...
shortened in the front enough that you can use the Scott's dampner and not have to take it off to lift the tank up. Uses the center bolt on the frame(normally used for the rubber flap that covers the valve cover which frees up the two stock locations for the steering dampner. :thumb:

Oh yeah! This tank will not fit a stock frame. It's for cut seat rail applications only.
-
Very nice. 8) I thought I saw you post one time that you were not going to cut your rails though?
-
Come on you gotta tell us how much???
-
they are available from NLR.
bout 700.00
334-741-7100

That was when I wanted to race Heavy Hitters(Mirock), where cut rails ar not legal. But after much debate I figured it wasn't worth waiting around to see if they would allow all types of intercooling.
So I'm doing my own thing. I simply got tired of waiting on others to make up my mind for me, with rules changes...
-
Here's the matching tail. Custom subframe is available for this tail as well.
:kickass:

that thing should fly :D
-
The tail and tank really set the bike off. Hopefully they will allow intercooling sometime in the future that way you can get your shot at racing a pro class. 8)
-
hopefully :yes:, actually it should be flying long time ago, Glenn keeps messing up with his setup :D
-
Bike is looking sweet Glenn, what about some offsets?
-
man blackhawk, your bike looks fantastic man. even with no paint, it looks fast. should be killer when finished. hard to tell in pics, does tank have that nasty vent like the airtech stuff does or is it in gascap? :D also what length is that over stock tail? looks long!
-
BH,Can you post a pic of how the tail and seat area mesh at the back of the tank.

The bike on the lift is not mine. Just the bodywork mocked up on a chassis.
Vent tube is underneath.
Tail is around 11" over.

Why not go one step further and just sit in the craddle?
-
Man, I dont think I could fit in there.
-
I would think you'd be below the 22" seat minimum... :?
-
Here's a pic of my stuff part way done... Just gotta figure out where I can mount everything that was underneath the old tail... :(

Thanks Big guy,i was wondering how well they meet each other.
-
cool thanks for info. so tail is 11 over. so what the WB of bike sitting at in pics? 68?
-
What did you do with the old white tail?

no prob.
Of course my set-up isn't quite as smooth as the complete NLR style tank and tail. I had to run the 10.5" airtech tail cause I needed the extra 1.5"-2" of seat room.
-
YA BUT DID YOU MAKE IT YERSELF :lol:
-
Yeah Nemesis, that's an example of the craddle. "The General" is local and so are a few other Grudge Busa that have the craddle setup. I wasn't aware of the 22" min Glenn but then again, I don't know any of the rules since I don't participate in classes 8)
-
YA BUT DID YOU MAKE IT YERSELF :lol:
I cut the seat rails myself... 8)
-
no you didnt, the saw zall did the cutting. You just put your finger on the trigger and held the saw. Not to many people do anything nowadays with machinery doing the work. Kinda like a machinist...they dont do the work...the machine does.
-
I am pretty sure Glen chewed his seat rails off...so his teeth did all the work... :bah: :mrgreen:
-
Glenn,ok I see what it is now i should have seen that they were two different bike,just looked back.still looks good.
-
Glenn, are fuel cells and one peice bodies illegal also or is it that no one makes or has even considered them for Prostreet. I think the one peice bodies are sweet and clean...
-
just having fun with him hahahah
-

Have no idea... I think it's more that no-one makes one because the bikes are "supposed" to appear street legal. So all the aftermarket bodywork companies create bodywork with similar lines to stock bodies, with just sizing differences.

Whatever! I had to plug it in and hold it straight...
-
You may wanna check it looks crooked?????
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
no way, I even put a level on them, and their damn close. Bubble is still 3/4 in the center, and there's no way on knowing if the bike is 100% upright in the baxley chock. Besides, I didn't want to get into the "litlle here, little more there" routine.
I figured with my skills, I'd end up cutting them down to the swingarm pivot before I got them perfect! :lol:
I was more than happy with the results from my first experience with cutting frame rails... :P
-
just buzz in you fam,looks good.
-
hey glen why the extra 2" needed :lmao:
-
hey glen why the extra 2" needed :lmao:
Remember, I've seen you ride and you need more than that... :o
Besides, I'll take everything I can get.
-
oh come on. it ws the first time to the strip all stock chassis. i will race you on my old hahn busa best out of three races. :lol: oh yeah. only 12 lbs of boost allowed. :moped:
-
If you still got access to it, bring it out next year... I'll do it just for you. 12psi max in the controller. :P
-
looks like bellmans buddy just bought it. i will still do it with the 03 for a burger and bragging rights. :drink: i will take it easy on you.
-
I wouldn't take it easy on you if you were in uniform!!
Besides, you're out of jurisdiction at Byron. :lol2:
Although I do drive through your neck several times a year, so I might let you win one... :wink:
