Welcome. I think we'll be doing some business....soon....

welcome back Tim,

it's great to have tuners covering both shores once again...



on a side note, we all know gleason's times on your bike...

what i would love to know is your best quarter-mile please...

don't tell us you only tune and observe, cause we know that's damn near impossible...


Thanks in advance for humoring me , boss

10.11 seconds. Bob outran me twice in one night. I got the jump on him! I get too excited, miss gears, and hit the rev limiters. In otherwords, I suck. I will stick to tuning in my shop, away from the crowd. I am not use to having too much company when I am at work anyway.


Tim

Fantastic news for the entire vmax community. Thanks to both of you for your dedication.

Welcome aboard tim.See you soon.

what's your height/weght ??

i remember some pix with you next to your gen2 (eleanor was it??)

shortly after taking delivery, and max wasn't looking as portly as usual, big guy....





thought maybe you're in an upper weight class, no??

low 10's isn't all that bad when you are 2 gleasons and then some...



after all, we can't all be born jockey-sized...

Yep. Thats her!

I am almost 2 1/2 Gleason's. 6'5" at 275lbs. If I could get my act together, I could run in the high nines. Back then, I could launch the bike ok, I just had a problem making the shifts at the right place. Now that I can do what I want to do with the ECU, I can hit the shifts better because I moved the rev limiter, but now I am having trouble launching the bike.

Always something (to blame).


Tim

Actually we were slower than that, but it was PURE fun! We were there to do some testing of the Vmax's, Tim had a slick & i was running a low profile street tire. Each of us curious to see what our other mods had done for performance.. The real timing of the bikes was left to the pro's (the way it should be), just like setting the bikes up should be done professionally. Tim proved he could do that! The rest is now Vmax history

easy fix for you... we already have a programmable shift light, just parallel its output for a relay-coil to trigger an electric shifter

problem solved... some would say it's cheating, but screw 'em

now if i could just talk oliver into it before the next west coast dragfest... he's already got the HoleshotPerformance shifter...


seems easy enough in theory if it's got an actual 12Vdc LED(at least for you electronics-soldering-capable guys)
