What I understand is 10 lbs. is a tenth on a bike.

Another affect of taking the weight off the back half of the bike is it
move's the weight center forward putting more weight on the front tire.

And now the bad news look's like the the new owner of Little River has pissed off Steve Landers and there will
be NO more Motorcycle Mayhem race's. From what I'm hearing is a lot of Car and bike racer's are mad
over the same issue's I posted about and are simply not going back.

Why doesn't thy new owner just get rid of the guy in the tower & replace him with some one more competent?
Pete

It's not just the guy in the tower the new owner don't have a clue about running a drag strip.

Bike was gettin a little ruff around the edge's so ripped the back half off to clean and repaint it.

Dug out the spare eccentric's and cleaned them up. I like these better then the round hole one's.

Back on it's wheel's.

Today I got the tail and side cover's painted tanks almost ready
ran out of daylight waiting on spot putty to dry.
Built new adjustable foot peg's and got the rest put back together.

Looking good for the street. That one adjuster reminds me of the machine in the original War of the Worlds. I like them better too.

Like WrenchMonkey said in the Handbuilt thread I was having an elect. issue after doing the paint work
and was thinking I missed a ground wire or something well turn's out the voltage reg had took a dump.
If I didn't run the head light it would keep the battery charged but with it on it wouldn't keep the battery
charged (it's wire hi/low both on) so dug out the 650 stater and reg swapped them in and now charging like it should.

What was making it hard to find the battery issue I've been having was I don't run the
headlight at the track or running it at the shop but some time's I needed the light so I'd put
the fuse in and ride it a little next day it wouldn't start.

Any way's got out for a ride last night about 20 mile's with a few stop's
and you know what I really miss the shit out of street riding this thing .
Really need a new back tire this one don't hook up on the street now like it did when new
but it's fun doing 3nd gear roll on's and blowing the tire off at 30 mph.

Hey Dave,

Glad you got it out on the streets last night. You gotta have some reward for all that hard work!
Seriously nice looking paint there man! Is that a stock color? Looks like glass.
I don't know how you can resist riding that badazz machine on every street. It's intimidating looking and beautiful at the same time

Their at exit 264 off I-35 I'm just a little south at about exit 245 so just a short ride
about 5-7 mile's up the highway.

Think I'm gonna order a new back tire tonight riding I can really feel this
one being worn flat in the center.

Wish I was closer, I'd be there,
Pete
