blanco25 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 I just recently drove my bike down to kevin at hjr. this is the second motor i've had done by him. I picked up his 421 cub. bike details are in my sig. just this last weekend i went and picked it up. He has a normal 9to5 and he meet me on his lunch break which was really cool and made things easy for me. The next day i took it out to dumont for 2 hours and it ran really well. I pulled up to banshee hill and unloaded my truck and the first thing that pulls up is a banshee with a yamaha r1 motor in it. The guy was bragging that it had 150hp to the wheels. I was like a f*ck just my luck i going to lose on my first race on my new motor Turns out when we raced i beat him every time. After the first two races the guy finally stop and pulled off his helmet and goes his tire pressure is way off and started letting air out of his tires. So i stop to let my bike cool down and we start talking and he asks what do you have in that thing a 12 mil.And my girlfriend and i started laughing. I said nope a 4. and he said get the fuck outta here. I was like my bike probably has 85-90hp. so he continued to let air out of his tires. then we raced 5 more times and same result. I would get him by 4 to 5 bike lengths. I am extremely happy with the work i got done by kevin. Also a want to that lowbuck for helping me out with this build also. he's a great guy. :biggrin: now i think its time to put her on some alky. kevin get ready for the phone call. Quote

Titan up Posted May 17, 2009 Report Posted May 17, 2009 Thats good to hear. Kev doesn't know it yet, but I'll be sending him my stocker cub for a nice port and hopefully just a hone, as well as some other goodies. Quote
VegasJeff Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 Thats good to hear. Kev doesn't know it yet, but I'll be sending him my stocker cub for a nice port and hopefully just a hone, as well as some other goodies. I raced a hybrid R6 four cylinder quad with the fancy +12 swing arm and smoked him by 5 or 6 bike lengths every time! All my future builds will have the HJR drag port on them and the turn around time is unbelievable. Quote
dajogejr Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 Glad to hear. A street bike motor is a hard beast to harness....done right, they move...just a lot of work and variables. That's why they take 800 to 1000 cc snomobile motors for drag bikes. Just because it has more HP at the crank (what they get rated at) doesn't mean that's what gets to the wheels...and gets to the wheels well..... Quote
blanco25 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Posted May 20, 2009 the main thing came down to launches. he would spin just a little more than me off the line,and the override really helped also. Quote

I shoot the hill with my HJR 421 cub with a stock length swingarm and stock tranny. It kills people to get smoked with that set up. :biggrin: Quote
