Real Street Class Build

[Robudda]

Clutch and radiator installed.

Struggled some with the clutch install at first, and realized the previous owner had some odd thickness Fibers. Kevin at MTC and I got it figured out and picked up some proper thickness replacements and it all Cam out Nice. Also my Kiddos have named the bike "Kaiju" for those that do not know that is the Japanese term for Large Monsters such as Godzilla and Mothra. Since I am no small guy the name seemed to fit.

Been a busy month with everything but the bike.

However, got the tire hugger installed, and the bike off the rack for the first time for a cleaning. Made a temp bracket out of an old license plate to get it fitted until I make a permanent one.

Picked up a few things while I was visiting family in Florida. Picked up a 18" over tail and brought it back as one of the carry-ons I was allowed. Also found a great deal on (2) Holley HP ECUs and a Holley 7" digital display. Figured one of them can go in my Mustang when the time is right.

build coming along very nice. btw.... leave the bracket made out of the plate. little things like that is what makes dragbikes unique. if you have any questions i can help with i have built several drag bikes as well from busa's and 14's.

Put a DME Front rack, for Holley 7" display, full spectrum battery, and fuel cell. Also got all the body pieces. Test fitting and need to make brackets.

Winter really slowing me down. But started on the Nitrous setup. Will be drilling and tapping throttle bodies for direct injection. Also going to be modifying my swing arm for breather/catch can.

I will have to disagree with the comment about big motors not lasting. My buddy and I both run bracket bikes with big motors and have over 75 passes on both with zero issues. If its built properly it will live

A big motor can last a long time, but it all depends. I put over 4000 passes, including quite a few with a 45 shot of nitrous on a stock Gen2 motor before the rings wore out, so the benchmark is a lot higher than 75 passes. On the other end of the spectrum, if you are spraying a lot of nitrous you might only get 10 passes (or less) before the motor is losing compression. The other piece of the equation is how well the engine is tuned. Even the best built engine can fail with an improper tune.
