Unfortunately Muppet last logged on to the site in may 2012, so I doubt you'll get an answer buddy, I like to think his bike was so fast it turned into a time machine....CruxGNZ wrote:Muppet, I know it's been a few years, but just curious if anything ever happened with the bike? Best E.T.? Mph?

It's been a few years, but it was worth a shot.
I think that 2x4 he used as the kickstand was hollowed out and had a flux capacitor inside.

Re: vtr1000 dragbike project
I met him at the Bulldog Bash a few years back and watched him race- the bugger beat my tuned one with his fairly standard one, fitted with a 6" over SA, and lock-up rear shock strut.
It goes to show, the clutch lock-up grab problem isn't a problem if you stretch the SA so that you can dump the clutch and it won't pop up and try to throw you off the back. It just spun up a bit, gripped and went.
But I want mine to be rideable round corners as well, so that's not an option.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: vtr1000 dragbike project
I own this bike now. Will be rebuilding it over the winter and running it at sprints next year. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

It was four years back right enough but just wondered hiw this would work on the storm. ....muppet wrote:No turbo for me may put a 25 bhp wet nitrous on a bit later, and in answer to bsm im running an airbox with no filter, still using a lightly modded snorkle with extra air inlet on top of airbox as the petrol tank is just a dummy shell so i have a lot of space above the airbox. may work may not
