Pretty slick chain guard. What does such an extension do to the handling? I have no idea.

It slows the handling, house. It's basically a setup for drag. (looks like an N20 bottle out back, too).
I never really thought these bikes had problems with standing up in the 1/4mile. Pretty long bike stock, and you can launch them hard.
Neat setup, though. I'd like to know how fast it is....

And all this time I thought it was my ineptitude that kept the front wheel on the ground.

Actually, I have lifted it a foot or so on take off a few times.

Yes, when I was getting a feel for the bike I got the front up by accident a couple of times. Then I reverted to my chronological age.

Steve does it all the time, so we know he's young at heart.
