We will run the bruised up plastic. Not out to win a looks contest, just go fast & win a championship. My wife loves the no plastic look, but NHRA is pretty strict on rules. So, plastic it's & I like it better with plastics also.
-
Few more pics:

Here's a few pics of the rebuilt bike. Have to decide what pair of plastics to run. Both sets are messed up from my accidents, LOL!
-
The bike is up/running, tested with the 535. We'll see how it compares to the 443 Cub in Feb.
-
We didn't have the clutch fully tuned for the Rippers.
-
We pulled our best MPH with the Rippers & best 60' with the 74" 12 paddle extremes. Both tires pulled 1.30 60's, extremes low 1.30s & mid to high 1.30s for the Rippers. The Rippers ran 3 mph faster than the extremes.

Here's our experience leaving in 1st gear in sand. 17/40, 75" RO 14 paddle Rippers bike 320 lbs. Rider 220 lbs. 443 Cub on race gas. Shifted around the 60' mark.

Name for new Grand River Racing Inframe Pipe stamping

Looks like 2 good rebuttal's to only 1 poke. -
The reason Grand River Racing does not give out dyno sheets.

While I agree for the most part that he has a price on everything. I must give the guy a little credit. He did offer to help with my DMX without any hitches. -
The old wreckage is getting ready to make the trip to Phoenix. Leaving on Fri. & should return Sun. evening if everything goes right. Hopefully, the boys get some light testing done on it also. When it comes back, I will have to get it tuned for the 1/4 mile. I set up our old back-up 39 PWKs, with a 185 main jet, one size richer than the 443 Cub. The timing will be pulled back a couple degrees. The gearing will stay the same. The lock-up will be a standard one & not the multi-stage. Everything is going to be a safe & conservative initial set-up. We are not looking to set the world on fire with this combo. Looking to run mid 10s, get my son his 1st Championship & also be the 1st NHRA ATV to win a Championship! Any question on the set-up, ask them. As normal, I will not divulge clutch base pressure or timing curve specifics.

Hmmmm..... haven't seen where anybody was trying to be a tough guy in this thread or any other you are in.
-
IMO, the minimum I would go is + 12. I didn't ask, wheelie bar?
-
On the longer radar runs can you give some mph numbers & some basic set-up details like gearing, motor size, chassis, etc.

Not my feelings getting hurt in the news feed.

The is my experience with the Forum Shit Talker's. I've been involved with many cases where the keyboard racer's have called me out. Some even with death threats, LOL! They are all the same, come to my back yard & race where I have the home track advantage! Something wrong with this picture for the travelling team. Maybe other Motorsports should adopt this or even other sports. No they are professionals & know they have to play in other's backyards to show who's the best. Now, I got called out many times. Hauled my ass Mid Country & to the East Coast (3 times). The keyboard shit talker's were all the same. Texas, out of about 5 nobody showed up to their own party. I even got a couple on the phone while I was there. Nothing but excuses! East Coast had some pretty good Hater's/Keyboard Shit Talker's there, more than 5. I hauled around to 7 or 8 tracks back East. Found most of the Keyboard Wannabe's & gave them the face to face call out. Not one of the chicken shit yellow backs took me up on it. Someone got something to prove. Buck up, grow some balls & bring it. Other than that it's keyboard dribble.

You have a few questions going on here & one I don't want to discuss in the open or in PM. I will PM my email & cell & you make the choice. Now, the launch limiter rpm is really dependent on the clutch set-up, motor size, rider/bike weight & other factors. Anyway, we have never set the limiter that low on anything. I would start no lower than 7K, but want to give you an idea what we run. We started at 7,300 & as we learned our clutch & started improving it our Launch RPM went up. Our basic range for the launch is between 8,000- 10.500 depending on many different factors. As for the stock electronics it's very limited, but it does do a great job with the top-end. A properly set up Dyna will give a better mid range power curve & still pull on the top if set-up correctly. The factory Dyna #3 curve is what we use as a baseline. We raise & lengthen that plateau in the curve, then pull the timing similar to the stock curve. Now, for the alky issue there is a fix. I will point you in the right direction, but it's up to you to use your smarts. A call is probably the easiest way. As for the swingarm length. As you know the track & street need to different arm lengths. I need some basics on track set-up. Like bike & rider weight, motor size & tire size
-
O.G. what are the distances you run for the ice drags & radar runs?
-
I'll make a small suggestion. If it's in the wrong section, then why not move it?
-
Are we going to sing Kumbaya now.

Sleeper, ask away! I hope it can be asked & answered in public. If I'm going to share, I prefer to do it in open forum.
-
I'll add $100 to the pot & need nothing in return if you don't win the bet (maybe a beer).

Thanks guys for somewhat sticking up for me, you brought a tear to this old man's eye. LOL! I'm sure it's chapping a few that provide nothing to this site & I'm not talking about O.G. I've been hard on O.G. he likes to talk shit & so do I. Seems like I hurt some feeling's. I really do wish him well with his endeavors. I'm willing to extend that olive branch out to help him, like he offered to me.

Thanks for the constructive advice! We didn't have much choice to go back. The Stock frame was set-up to do Asphalt, 300' & hillshooting. I wrecked it testing the new motor at the airport. We had a 300' race in 3 weeks. My Son has a very nice Black Label Chassis & has been 3.50s on with a twin & 3.40s with a triple. It works very well for an outdated heavy chassis. In a couple weeks we are starting on the old stock frame chassis. The old 443 Cub was sold to help finance the DMX. I still have my back-up 7mm cub cylinders that run just as hard as the sold ones. We were debating what motor to put in & finally decided on the 535, due to time constraints. Back to the DMX, Angel wants to take it to Gilbert in spring of 2015. So, he's working very hard to get it right along with another bike. I'm in good hands with my Son Angel. He's very capable of figuring problems out. He was the one mainly responsible for setting the worlds fastest twin record, 3.213 @ 96.84 mph. Along with the owner & other's help. They thought they could do better without him & quickly found out differently. The bike is now back at my Sons house being prepared for 2015. It's listed under Twin Cylinder Unlimited, bike #69, Angel Morales. http://www.prosanddrags.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/4503/PSDA_OFFICIAL_RECORD_BOOK#Post4503
