Ran My 650/810 At The 1/8 Mile Drags

cool stuffB)

Great looking bike..Glad to hear of another old kz suprising folks at the strip...Recently had mine at the 1/8 since my rebuild..best time was 8.045 at 87.45..went thru the traps in 3rd...if i'd hit 4th pretty sure i could've turned 7's..practice..practice..practice..

oh..buy the way..great reaction time!!..mine was .331 off the tree..

Colin,
You cut a great light and your 60ft is smokin'! But I really was chiming in to tell you how nice that 650 looks. Brilliante work on it, also! Love reading what you do with it. How old is your son? Mine just turned 1, which is cool...gives me time to finish some projects!

Great story. Keep 'em comin'. And love the pics of that 650!

Hey Brian - That is a pretty decent time you ran also. What was your pass like? Were you hammering it off the line and through the shift points?

The track you were running must have different set-up for timing reaction than the portable timing set up they had at the temporay 1/8 mile track where I ran.

If anyone ran quicker than a 5.01 reaction they were redlighted. I have heard that some other reaction timing set ups have a different starting point for how they measure reaction times.

Came out of the hole at about 4 grand..slipping the clutch alot..after it hooked up i hammered it pretty good thru 3rd..shifting around 8500-9000...seems to have trouble keeping the front wheel planted though:woohoo:
