Running at Mojave

[isiahstites]

Spent all day today to getting the stocker ready for the Mojave Mile on Sunday.


Tech is Saturday and the race is on Sunday. I am riding the bike to the race, racing and then riding her home.

My tires wouldn't pass tech due to tread depth so off with the wheels.

I bought this bead breaker, but it's a bit undersized for a 190 tire.

If you tilt the tire up it will do a 190 with no problems.

While I had the wheels off I painted them, they were pretty beat up so some fresh paint was in the works.

And to pass tech metal valve stems.

Cut up a milk cartoon to protect my new paint from the tire spoons scratching up my new paint.

After balancing the wheels I taped the weights, another tech requirement.

I also painted my carrier to match the wheel. Got another carrier ready with my first gear change. This will allow me quick 5 minute gear changes so I can stay in line and maximize the amount of passes I get in the day.

Safety wired the axles, oil drain nut and anything else they required.

Made this little bracket and wired in the kill switch.

All ready to go...........I do not like the bike without the wheel decals. Another set is in my near future.

Not looking for any big numbers as other than the slip-ons she is as stock as they get. With my size I would be happy with a 175-180 mph pass.

That picture makes my stomach churn.......I am glad you are ok........it's even my color of bike. Be safe out there bro.

I would be very suprised. That is the fastest I have ever been on a busa, 185 at El Mirage in 2009. I am not the smallest guy in the world either.

Karl is great, I will be wearing my TFA shirt on race day.

That's a lot of weight. Should try rotating the tire 180.
