I just picked up a 2001 929 Fireblade off a buddy that was building a drag bike. He started it like 7 years ago and a couple kids got in his way. I shoot for a drag racing website and have been wanting to build a drag bike to race so this one was perfect. Got it dirt cheap cause he didn't need the money. Just wanted it out of his garage.
I have a 2004 Hayabusa and raced it a couple times last year. Ran a best of 9.83 at 142mph on it. I had lowering links in the back and have a Gen2 Yoshi titanium pipe into carbon can on it and thats it. My other baby is a 1987 Yamaha Fazer and have run a best of 11.27 at 118mph on it. My first sportbike was a 2001 Kawi ZX6R and I ran a best of 11.18 at 123mph on it. I'm looking forward to completing this Fireblade and running it. Its going to get abused!!! Front end has been raked out a little and the internals are done in the forks so its low! Back is solid right now with the stock swingarm with extensions welded in. The swingarm is going to be replaced. Need to get the welding finished up on the front end and then need to get it running which will be as easy as hooking up a computer and getting a fuel pump in her. Then I'll worry about the swingarm and then the body work. I'm new on this site so I'm looking forward to picking everyones minds on how I can make this Fireblade a weapon. Don't have any good pics yet but they will come soon enough.
