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.

Blackhawk · « **Reply #1 on:** November 07, 2005, 11:12:47 PM »

Oh yeah! This tank will not fit a stock frame. It's for cut seat rail applications only.

Very nice.

I thought I saw you post one time that you were not going to cut your rails though?

GoldenChild · « **Reply #3 on:** November 08, 2005, 01:28:51 AM »

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.

turboed1 · « **Reply #7 on:** November 08, 2005, 08:21:51 AM »

that thing should fly

Blue Streak · « **Reply #8 on:** November 08, 2005, 01:05:42 PM »

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.

BOOSTED · « **Reply #9 on:** November 08, 2005, 01:07:01 PM »

hopefully

, actually it should be flying long time ago, Glenn keeps messing up with his setup

BOOSTED · « **Reply #10 on:** November 08, 2005, 01:07:56 PM »

Bike is looking sweet Glenn, what about some offsets?

LongR1 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 08, 2005, 01:40:26 PM »

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?

also what length is that over stock tail? looks long!

GoldenChild · « **Reply #12 on:** November 08, 2005, 03:25:14 PM »

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?

BandR · « **Reply #16 on:** November 08, 2005, 11:14:02 PM »

Man, I dont think I could fit in there.

Blackhawk · « **Reply #17 on:** November 08, 2005, 11:14:25 PM »

I would think you'd be below the 22" seat minimum...

Blackhawk · « **Reply #18 on:** November 08, 2005, 11:15:52 PM »

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...

GoldenChild · « **Reply #19 on:** November 08, 2005, 11:38:40 PM »

Thanks Big guy,i was wondering how well they meet each other.

LongR1 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 08, 2005, 11:42:10 PM »

cool thanks for info. so tail is 11 over. so what the WB of bike sitting at in pics? 68?

GoldenChild · « **Reply #21 on:** November 09, 2005, 02:29:19 AM »

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

Mav · « **Reply #25 on:** November 09, 2005, 08:00:10 AM »

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

I cut the seat rails myself...

NLR-power and control · « **Reply #27 on:** November 09, 2005, 08:57:24 AM »

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.

cstraubs1 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 09, 2005, 09:41:38 AM »

I am pretty sure Glen chewed his seat rails off...so his teeth did all the work...

GoldenChild · « **Reply #29 on:** November 09, 2005, 11:44:49 AM »

Glenn,ok I see what it is now i should have seen that they were two different bike,just looked back.still looks good.

Mav · « **Reply #30 on:** November 09, 2005, 11:55:03 AM »

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...

NLR-power and control · « **Reply #31 on:** November 09, 2005, 01:45:42 PM »

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...

GoldenChild · « **Reply #34 on:** November 09, 2005, 09:33:42 PM »

You may wanna check it looks crooked?????

Blackhawk · « **Reply #35 on:** November 10, 2005, 07:52:54 AM »

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!

I was more than happy with the results from my first experience with cutting frame rails...

GoldenChild · « **Reply #36 on:** November 10, 2005, 12:26:59 PM »

just buzz in you fam,looks good.

Remember, I've seen you ride and you need more than that...

Besides, I'll take everything I can get.

buzard · « **Reply #39 on:** November 10, 2005, 10:36:58 PM »

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.

oh yeah. only 12 lbs of boost allowed.

Blackhawk · « **Reply #40 on:** November 11, 2005, 07:48:40 AM »

If you still got access to it, bring it out next year... I'll do it just for you. 12psi max in the controller.

buzard · « **Reply #41 on:** November 11, 2005, 09:53:33 PM »

looks like bellmans buddy just bought it. i will still do it with the 03 for a burger and bragging rights.

i will take it easy on you.

Blackhawk · « **Reply #42 on:** November 12, 2005, 10:14:27 AM »

I wouldn't take it easy on you if you were in uniform!!

Besides, you're out of jurisdiction at Byron.

Although I do drive through your neck several times a year, so I might let you win one...
