I can drag it with my pick up

You can drag race anything. This bike isn't set up for racing, it's more of a show bike. Jackshafts and wide tires use power.

If you put the stock parts back on, the bike will run 9.5s to 9.8s with a decent pipe and a drag tire (not the Voodo on the bike).
As the bike stands, it will maybe run a 10.2 or so, but it may spin with a stretch and a street tire. They don't make a drag tire for that wheel.

Too bad it has that tire and swingarm kit on it, I dont really understand why someone would want to make the bike slower in every aspect of performance. And it looks funny as hell to me.

It looks good but it just is not for dragging with that tire.
