SlowerThanYou Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 This is our new K&T, 10mm DMX. We have run the same basic 7mm starting with stock cylinders & had 2 different set of cub cylinders also. We have been running them since 2005 on 1/8 & 1/4 mile asphalt, hill shooting & lastly 300' I needed something new, but hated to see some of the old combo go. We still a have a couple cylinders for future use. I do a lot of clutch R&D, but most of it was smaller motors up to 535cc. I couldn't afford a really large motor. So, I settled on a medium sized DMX. Time is really limited trying to get everything ready in a short time. I have a NHRA Divisional race to debut with the new combo the last weekend of Mar. Then the following week we debut the new combo on 300'. We only have like 3 days to change over to the sand set-up. I hope to give some updates with the new set-up, when I get some time. Below is the motor still being mocked-up, a few minor issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbum80 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Looks good. Got a pic of your bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvafan537240 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Curious to hear some times vs your old setup Damn the cylinder sits almost flush with the edge of the case. How much case work has to be done to fit a dmx on a set of stock cases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Looks good. Got a pic of your bike? Pic is in the signature & 1 or two in my gallery. Curious to hear some times vs your old setup Damn the cylinder sits almost flush with the edge of the case. How much case work has to be done to fit a dmx on a set of stock cases? We don't post much of our times, but there are some posted both 300', 1/8 & 1/4 mile of old set-up. Lot's of work for the stock cases, adpter plate, welding & epoxy to name a few. That's pretty cool. 10DMX is no joke! When you get it In frame post some pictures. Make sure to post times too! We have case pictures & all the fixins. Hope to take a few more & hope to post a few shake down times. I also hope to provide a review of K&T service. They have been rated a A & I'm sure that will continue. Hoping to provide a more detailed review in the futrue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cce12 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 What times are you shooting for on asphalt 1/8 mile? 5.6ish? Good luck with your new setup!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 What times are you shooting for on asphalt 1/8 mile? 5.6ish? Good luck with your new setup!! Hell I don't know, LOL! We have an idea on what we want to accomplish, but that usaully takes time. I will post up a few of the early shake down runs on both surfaces. This is a whole new animal for us. If it runs close to our old combo starting out I will be happy. We will focus on the 60's, 300' & 330' on both surfaces and the rest of the run if going further usually pays off well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklerman Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Should be fun!! Keep us posted. BTW, What was the reasoning for using stock cases on a DMX vs Mattoon Billet? Trying to get educated on these bigger cylinders. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I've noticed on serval DMXs that they appear to have a aluminum spacer plate where the cylinders meet the cases. Is that true, or am I seeing things. Steel plate. Should be fun!! Keep us posted. BTW, What was the reasoning for using stock cases on a DMX vs Mattoon Billet? Trying to get educated on these bigger cylinders. Thanks! I'm 210-230 lbs. depending on what I have to wear for the different surfaces. Then add in a heavy stock frame. I really didn't want the additional billet weight & the price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 If this is only a 10mm motor, how come the trench goes through the cases? My 10 Cub and 10DM didn't trench through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
