Nice garage! i have the exact same motorcycle lift. comes in hell a handy!

Thanks. It sure does, no more laying on floor! Finished taking motor apart tonight. First time I've ever split cases on a motor.

You and other people may disagree with what Im about to say.........If I were you, I wouldnt buy a slider. I would spend that money on other things. You already average 1.2 something 60ft. with the clutch setup you already have. If you add a slider, you might gain 1 or 2 tenths....1.25 60ft or so. I dont think 2grand is worth 2 tenths off your 60ft. You can get 3 tenths or more on the big end with nitrous.....and it will be cheaper than 2 grand.

Just my opinion

I dont disagree with you. I bought a slider not to get a better 60ft but to be more consistent. I'm setting the bike up for quick 32, which is a bracket class.
Just trying to run the same et each pass.

i think you are pretty consistant right now, but a slider will help you to run dead on everytime for a bracket class.

Thanks. I'm going to try to find a wrecked 08 around tax time, and use it to run crazy 8's with a stock clutch. Dont want to get to use to that slider and forget how to use that stock clutch lol

Running way behind this year. I guess late is better than never lol.. Sent crank out for race prep. Lighten & balanced removed counter gear.
Brought 3 H~Beam rods. Went to order 4th one, its the 5/16 bolts none in stock 5 week wait. So I'm putting the motor back togetter with stock rods to make the next Mirock

. When I get the H~Beam in, I will be tearing the motor back down to install them asap then its :bmg: time!
O yeah almost forgot, once the busa it finished. Then I'll be building Jackpot JR. 08 gsxr1000 for Street ET. & Crazy 8's. Heres some photos, garage lighting doesn't give the paint job justice. I'll be taking some more outside when bike is finished.

Yes, House Of Kolor. Its a urethane kandy organic green sprayed over orion silver. It hasn't been wet sanded yet, getting some airbrush work done next week. Then back to painter to be cleared and wet sanded.

My buddy that painted my bike told me, I should buy another set of bodywork and have it painted so I could switch the bodywork at different races. It sounded like a good idea intil I remembered what everything costed.
