ill be looking for ya on the coast highway mr!i figure with my 12" height advantage on ya it should be really close.its rated at 3.5 at the rear wheel,so im guessing that means about 78 at the flywheel by factory/magazine standards but i read on the internet that if you put a rack of 34 cv's with a custom intake on there and a header it bumps it up to 4.7 at the rear wheel which im thinking means around 130 at the motor.i wasted all these years building big motors when all i needed to do was buy some magazines and cool stickers! :woohoo:mine

I had friends at the Chevy Tonawanda engine plant bore my
stock carbs out to 29mm, cause I seen somthing about this!
We hooked up 4 single ignition coils in line for both sides and used Blue Steak ignition points from a 4 cly. Chevy Luv.
With some cool silicone wires. Some nerd guy's technology?
We could still get some good Sunoco High Octane gas back then.
All I know is I burnt though 3 Nan-Kang 5.20 X 18 tires, with 10 pounds of air in the summer of 1977!
14 tooth countershaft sprocket and a 39 on the back!
Oh ya, I was the coolest with a chrome Kerker header.
No baffle of course!
Pulled the front wheel all the way thru 3rd gear!!!
I am over 50 now.
Still Wondering how I am still alive!
Just a little bit of Z street history!
We used to see who left the longest tire mark!
Not the longest wheelie!
Later
Livin in "CheektaVegas, NY
Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
I SOLD OUT! THE KAW BARN IS EMPTY.
More room for The Old Girl, Harley 75 FLH Electra Glide,
Old faithful! Points ign. Bendix Orig. carb.
Starts everytime!
