i have that exact same shinko 005...and it's a 180 also i haven't had any problems

 

Back in the early 70s, when I got my first "street" bike, a Yamaha 125 AS2C 2 stroke twin, I did the same thing, bought the biggest Nangkang (Dunlop K81 copy but softer) that would fit, put a Barnett "racing" clutch kit in it and rode the hell out of it. Back then,I would give much bigger bikes a fit stop light to stoplight, but any more than an 1/8 mile they would go on by. Those were the days..... that kinda stuff these days though, will get you killed, or in jail. [8D]

 

Rick, you're really dating yourself...some of us were not alive in the early seventies! But bikes have come a long way since then and you may get to triple digits stoplight to stoplight now.

 

...if the stop lights are spaced out pretty good, I ride a 93 F2, does 116 in the quarter mile........so far.... :-)
and YEP, Im one of those old pharts, [8D]

 

25 here.....strait liner!!

 

Made my best pass ever last night, 7.59@99.59 mph w/1.759 60' time. Even beat a BUSA, although Im sure it was driver error. None of those guys (all Busas) would line up with me again though, one mistake and they were mine. Good thing for me it was an 1/8 mile track, they would have killed me in the 1/4.

 

That's awesome. Seems conceivable an F2 may have a slight advantage in 1/8th, being lighter. I would think they would be catching up quick at the finish though. Of course it prolly has alot to do with rider...and gearing.

 

I wonder how the weight/hp ratios compare?

 

wow nice times how did it hook that night?? This is what i ran a while back with my last bike 2001 GSXR 600... geared, nine inch Yana shekiextentions, race upper front fairing,Murrey racing GP pipe,couple of other small mods and my light asson itat135lb lol w/ a slightbog at the line... (if you look at the last pic in the far back in the garage, the bike with out the front on it is my cousins old 99 F4.. lol)

I pretty much killed em all off the line up to mayby the 330 or 440 footmark, then theyd blow by @ over 120 or 130 mph. I was launching at about 7000 to 9000, carrying the front wheel through first about 3" most of the time, shifting right on 13,500, and bouncing up again in 2nd.It was definitely hooking hard. Sometimes I didnt even do a burnout, just a couple dry hops, VHT is a WONDERFUL thing. I cant wait to see how hard I can leave withthe frontstrapped down. Right now, Im just lowered about 1.5 in the rear, and maybe 1 3/4 up front.

BTW, good looking bike, n9ne_inches_later
