http://secure.cartsvr.net/catalogs/c...showprevnext=1 check that one out.... yes it is a strap to lower the front end it mounts from the caliper over the triple trees to the other side caliper and its like a ratchet tie down you pull on it and compress the front end..

look at the thread https://cbrforum.com/m_146592/mpage_.../tm.htm#147477 and read what ClutchBurningRacing says!! i would listen to him.. hes in the 8's[sm=hail.gif]

 

and also--- i TOTALLLY CUT AND PASTED THIS FROM CLUTCHBURNINGRACING--- i hope you dont care clutch..


"The front strap keeps the forks from extending during accelaration. when you launch all of your momentum goes to the back and the forks extending helps the weight transfer. With the strap it keeps the forks from moving = less backward momentum= less wheeelies. "

this is why i joined this forum! lots of good questions and answers from a diverse range of riders. my freind dwight just found an old 1000 in some guys garage and paid hardly nothing for it. cleaned it up, fresh batt and carbs cleaned and drove it right to the track. that was his first time down a drag strip. before going home i gave him a list of web sites ( including this one ) to find parts and info on his bike. last i heard he was looking for a swingarm and stuff.

 

Tons of 411 on this forum. Thanks for the explanation on the strap.
I'm kinda bummed wright now. Was going to run my bike at CDR today, but we are getting hammered with rain.

 

i bogged at light and then spun lil of 1st and ran a 11.2@135mph 1st time i ever ran my bike.
