The Drag Bike - 2006 ZX-14

Not sure if this will work but I'm trying to post up some pics for you guys of my Wolverine-Machine. It sure is a blast at the drag strip - although I am always happy to get back on the FJR - it is quickly teaching me that there is no substitute for performance combined with comfort! Sometime this season, I'm going to take Big Red to the strip and see what kind of numbers I can put up - I'll be sure to post the results.

Thanks Richouse. My best time to date is 9.39 @ 146 - basic bolt-ons and foot-shifting. I run pretty consistently in the 9.4 - 9.5 range - faster times are definitely possible but I'm learning quickly that track-prep is critical in achieving them.

Nice ride - I'm thinking of raising mine back up a notch on the dog bones (middle link). The lowest setting is a worry on the street - if you see a speed bump and enjoy having an oil pan, just turn around

Good idea! Even on the middle link, I slow down for the big bumps.

You must have a fortune in paint on your ride... even the engine casing. Beeeeuuutiful!

I "accidentally" brought the front wheel up a hair the other day. Surprised the crap outta me. And yesterday I hit a tar snake as I was twisting the throttle... holy sh*t! :blink:

Life is good. :yahoo:

Thanks - yeah, I've put some money in the paint but it was still pretty reasonable. It has been a while since I've pulled the front wheel - 1.49 60' at the track and still kept both tires on the ground :-D
