BACK IN THE DAY BY STREET FIGHTER LTD

Good Sunday Morning to all the Gearheads on site today.
Most folks think of Karata as a Harley Beltdrive company.
Wrong.... My LTD has a Karata lockup clutch installed and Karata was deeply invested with the Kawasaki crowd
BACK IN THE DAY

So take a look here at the Karatasaki Top Fueler
Bad Ass Machine
Have a great day
Dave

Here is one of me racing at Milan Dragway around 1979

Thanks for the photos. Killer paint job on Little Digger

Hold on to your hats Guys

Here are to pictures I took down south at a Dragstrip which was having a big event.
So of course the Top Fuel Harleys were racing and so comes the HD Clubs to watch ..
I saw this chopper lead a group in and just had to take its picture
It was ridden by a huge man ( Im sure his club name was Tiny ) and the fork tubes were deflecting like a banjo string
So anyway. Just goes to show you that you never have seen it all ...
I have some closeups somewhere that show stress cracks on the tubes
This is a real death trap
Enjoy
Dave

Well, 7-8s back in the day wasn't too shabby either.

Considering the top fuellers then were running the low 6's...

these pictures are great, thanks for sharing.

I guess our shorts looked that way then because we pulled the damn things up?

We also liked to keep our undies private..... and still do...
