here is my other drag bike this a 2009 suzuki hayabusa with lots of mods done to it. oh the picture says proof on it because it came of the wesite lebanon valley dragway, the dragway takes pictures for you so you could buy them. they put proof on it so nobody could screen shot it print the picture out.

What's a chainsaw?

um chainsaw?

Yes. I use my truck to haul my chainsaws

A popup piston IMO is a bad idea and for several reasons. One of which is the the fact rings will run hotter when you decrease the distance between the ring and the combustion chamber.

Well I did up a 044 today that rocked my world........and I'm not easily impressed anymore.

From what I understand, the weakest length in these 10-bolts is the carrier. I put a Detroit Truetrac in this one with a set of 4:30 gears. Knock on wood, but so far so good and 97K miles.

Pretty much. 2 issues with those rear end that I see often even in trucks that don't you're or haul any weight. Spider gears pit and disintegrate and the cross pin egg shapes the hole in the carrier eventually breaking the bolt. When that cross pin comes out it gets ugly! Seen a few with pitted bearing races but that is rare.

If you still have stock axle shafts you may want to upgrade them though. The hardening on them isn't all that good and the axle/wheel bearing tends to wear a groove in them

That sounds like great news Randy, I guess the Chessman never gives up on strategy!

Randy, I think everyone went to bed early for U to make a statement like that and not get more reaction!!!

Looking forward to the video!

I was slashing firebreaks in november when I took that pic, think they are still there...... But they are right on the boundary of what has been burnt.
