I doubt i will be posting any more bright ideas i come up with it's not worth the headache of getting beat down for doing it and that is a shame i really enjoy doing it.

I know it does look like I am launching hard but I really don't. I never turn the bike over about 3500 prior to launch. I do get fairly aggressive after the light drops but unlike my old drag bike , this thing works much better at low rpm and I just slide the clutch and work the throttle more than others..... It's just a technique I have used for a long time and it works for me.., I probably need a few more track days to dial it in better too.... I think a qucikshifter and a PCV would really help....now, as for the coils. I am all for the them if they work. My bike has less than a thousand miles on it and a perfect clutch,tire, and oem coils.. If I could get my hands on a set and gain 5mph in the 1/4 then I would be jumping all over them.. Now as for the added fuel mileage gains. I have no doubt that the benefit is there. The added spark can only help. The only concern with testing them on a bike with 20k miles plus on it is that there is a great chance that the original clutches could have been slipping without ever even noticing it. Replacing the clutches on or around the same track day as testing the coils could give argument to the claims of added mph... My belief is that oem coils do wear out and will start to break down over time due to the excessive heat that the motor gives off . The heat alone can break them down. If u add nitrous, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have the guaranty of the extra electrical too

Jody have a opinion on the BST wheels and drag racing after seeing Lee with a hollow axel in his hand and he said he was pouring a pound of lead in it to keep the front end down I asked what about taking 6-7 pounds away with lighter front wheel he said no can do need the weight up there i know the geometry is different between the two bikes for sure but
have been wondering why I cant launch / Throttle harder off the line without looking at the sky and my strap in cinched
down i have tried many different techniques i usually hover about 4-4500 just to keep the R's up creep the clutch see yellow
release and Pin it that has been the best for me so far but never had any of the go fast guys with BST's say they gained
better times one guy in particular with a 7 second turbo street tire bike but just the over all weight loss has to help I am
sure I dont have regrets buying them but just trying to figure out my short game really need someone else with skills
above mine to ride my bike at the track.

I am looking into an air shifter set up i would love to be able to get my foot off the peg and lay over the airbox as much as
my little bit forward bars will permit me, I cannot ride the Dale walkers like you have the riding position is not good
to my street riding but in my case getting more weight forward would help me out a lot , If i can set up a good low profile air shifter that has good street disconnect .

Dont think my clutch has been slipping it's my third Pak in now I just did not like the Barnett steels never liked the neutral feel but it did produce 15 or so 9 second runs i had a couple small blue spots on one plate but never had any
slip feel usually you notice in 4 th gear with a hard roll on if it's gonna slip it will be evident i will post up a plate pic in a moment .

I like the way you attacking this Jody really doing stuff that we have not done before at least the florida gang
with the Dale bars disc brake thing and 112 octane and open air box all stuff you learned racing I have no doubt

I will be watching and paying attention, people can make their own mind up about performance mods doubt i will be posting any more bright ideas i come up with it's not worth the headache of getting beat down for doing it and that is a shame i really enjoy doing it.

Jody, wouldn't that oxygenated fuel be a double whammy on leaning out your bike coupled with the air box cover removed?
I think Bob should take his coils out, let Jody try them out at the track and validate the effectiveness one way or another. Bob, I will pull my stock coils out for you to use if you don't have yours, no problem.
Just an idea to close the door on this one.
