I bought a front strap off e-bay last night for $ 20. I think this is about the most I am willing to change to drag. I would rather take road trips and hit the twisties than drag.

The prob is you either have a fast strip bike or a fast road bike it can be done but itis a very very hard and expencive thing to do In most cases

RE: How to launch at the track???????????
ok time for me to join in here... i'm debating some wheelie bars http://www.pingelonline.com/wheeliebars_honda.htm... i would never do the lengthen swingarm thing because i think they're hideous... IMO.. you guys can have'em.... just not for me... so anyhoo... i'm only planning on a few trips to the track this summer on my 929RR and don't need to get too crazy with add-ons.. i just want to ensure a 10 sec. e.t. and since i only weigh 155lbs it's hard for me to keep the front end down on a hard launch. can anybody tell me more about the benefits of front end straps? also where is the cut off from pants and a leather jacket to full leathers.. like in a car if you run 11.49 or quicker you need a 6 point roll cage... 11.99 or quicker a fire jacket.. years ago when i raced my '97 600 all i needed was a helmet, leather-ish jacket (i wore a brown suede leather jacket LOL ), gloves, jeans were suitable, and some boots.. no tennis shoes..

That "HIDEOUS" look is what prevents this...thats why we have stretched swingarms/bolt on extensions
also where is the cut off from pants and a leather jacket to full leathers..
9.90s and faster I believe, or at least at my track it is
Dude you dont need wheelie bars to run 10 sec passes on a 929...Ill run 10s all day long half asleep on a 929...dont run straps unless your stretched to be safe...if the front lifts, which it will if you pull out to hard, and its still stock wheelbase, when it comes down there will be little if no suspension travel and your fork seals are really gonna love you for the pounding they'll get...
