hey Gary,

If i wern't so lazy i'd have brought both bikes yesterday.

Before:  some spare parts



After:  lots more spare parts


Rust Bucket made 265hp on Cheese's dyno in June.

I'm hoping that's enough to get me an A license at World Of Speed in Sept.

I surely could have done this project faster if i'd bought a running bike, but i damn sure learned more by sourcing every nut, bolt, fitting, component, wire, etc separately.
In the end i decided to buy RBR her own plastic.
Colt who did the paint for Greenie, absolutely duplicated Greenie's weird green/purple and did a flawless job in 7 days door to door.
Now i have 2 weird green Busas  

Thanks to sooooooooooooooooooooo many people
But thanks most of all to Larry Forstall whose knowledge of all things motorcycle is surpassed only by his passion for LSR and his unstinting assistance to one and all.
 
(and i've never even met him!)

You know Karl, that bike is too nice to take to the salt. What you need is a ...  hey!

Looks killer, I see As in your future.

Thanks Dean!  still got some fiddling to do; going back to stock oil pressure, put numbers on the bike, test airshifter, just lil stuff like that, but basically done.

All I want from WOS is to put my feet on the salt for the 1st time and get my A license.
Next year maybe i'll put my A motor in it and stretch RBR's legs.

Sounds smart. What size engine will be in it, and what head?

[brmrc51]

off topic, but every time I see dean's tuck when he posts, THE PERFECT TUCK !!!

[zrxdean]

Thanks BRM, the cut down tank helps a lot.

I read over on LR.com that Leslie P backed up her PP-1000 record, around 197, congrats 

Also the Butler, Pflum & Wagner PP entry may have bumped it up too, not sure when. 

Haven't heard about Ryan, Fred, or Joe yet today...  good luck

bottom end is same as A motor, but has Jim Gilnack head and bigger TB's.  
I'm thinking dyno hp may not be indicative of how it will inhale at 200mph.

I just got in from the salt. Ryan qualified the naked bike at 196.9 , he made a run on the faired bike, Murphy was along for the ride. I didnt see Joe today, dont know if he made a run or not. Billy Shoemaker qualified his Harley,my fingers really dont want to type that word, , around 162 or so. Shane San Miguel brought me a shock from Scott Horner's in Salt Lake City. I owe them both big time. We got it installed and we are ready to rock in the morning. I havent heard what is happening with Shane Stubbs or Jason McVicars.

[knecum]

any word on Nancy or Jack Fred??

[wildphil69]

why would you want to go back to stock oil pressure?

[entropy]

why would you want to go back to stock oil pressure?

18-20 sec out on asphalt LSR tracks oil pressure consistently drops from a steady 80-100psi to 55-60 jagged.  Both A & B motors.
I'm thinking hi oil pressure is bringing sump level down.

Besides, a big expert i trust 110%, and i'm not gonna mention steve's name, suggested that hi oil pressure may not be necessary for my set up.

[wildphil69]

true...i just put a hi vol gear in my drag bike i was worried ha

Thanks for the kind words Karl. Just wait until you get your feet wet (literally) on the salt flats. If you think high speed pavement is a passion, Salt Fever has no cure. Won't be long; now if I can just get #3 pipe to fit. lol    LSL

[fvance]

Steve, Jack made a shakedown run, I dont remember the details, sorry. Everthing is ok. For some reason Nancy, again crs strikes, Nancy has not made a run, is supposed to run tomorrow. A rain storm just blew through, it was pretty general. i'm thinking that tomorrow may be mush, if they run at all. If it did rain on the course,at all, I probably will not run until Tuesday. I think Murphy jumped in the back of my Suburban in Bulverde.

Larry,
the next time i pull the exh off greenie, i will carefully note how #3 has to be bent and get someone to do it. 
It's a only lil bit off, but it damn sure is wrong, and makes it a PITA to mount the collector.
Good luck.
(if i got it to half-assed fit, ANYONE can do it.  )

[zrxdean]

I just read that the salt is drying fast and RACING IS ON for today 

Good luck to all return runs this morning, and all qualifiers today.

Any reports from Shane S on the naked turbo 1650 - also James H on the naked turbo 650?  Looks like they were making license runs Sat.

[bulletb]

Rained last night, the salt was flooded where you get on the salt....the tracks are perfect....Billy made the first pass on the salt this morning...woohoo...into impound for a record. sent out of impound for a rule clarification...more to come..
Ryan is out of impound with his new record!!

[TrickTom1]
