Welcome to the forum!
got a deal i couldnt pass up on it... free.. just had to get rid of my rocket.... i cant turn down a 7k bike for a 4k bike... i figure its probably smart as i ride like a child on the rocket.. as it dynod in the lower 190 range with the work i had done... hopefully someone will make a piston rod combo for the street so ican push the limit with some juice or a little boost..welcome to the show, ZX10 to a 750 standard, you turn 50 earlyJust playin

I'm a mustang guy too, got an 86 GT cobra in the garage with under 30,000 km on the clock![]()

and nice i used to have a 86 gt.. now i own a 04 mach 1
Turbo and NitrousThat may be meif anyone knows any killer mods for it let me know of any performance mods.. if we can bore this puppy's out.. nitrous ran through my head... I pick it up Wednesday
must get rid of my zx10r soon.. thanks for the welcome guys

already ordered a firebrand exhaust and I am putting a hid in it also.. plan on seeing what I can do suspension wise pretty soon.. I love the look of the bike.. but I want her to rip a little harder
I wanna feel how it rides.. I can make it handle better quite easy.. but making it faster straight line is a task. I'm wondering how much nitrous the cylinders could take.. what compression is set it how the head will handle the pressure ect.. if I can slap a 33 shot on it.. and it rips.. great! If I can slap a turbo on it and make a 100 horse beast.. great.. if I can do a piston rod combo with nitrous and change the gears around alot I'll be even happier.. I want this to be a sleeper and I think it has the potential.. exhaust will be here Thursday bike will be here Wednesday at 330 lolI'd say if you want to do anything to improve the bikes performance it has to begin with the suspension. Corners are free speed, IMO exploit the free speed with suspension mods before looking to raw mechanical power...
This is true, even with cars.I'd say if you want to do anything to improve the bikes performance it has to begin with the suspension. Corners are free speed, IMO exploit the free speed with suspension mods before looking to raw mechanical power...

Someone posted a link to after market brake pads that are probably softer and will provide better stopping power (although I believe the stock pads are fine but this is from someone that rode motorcycles with drum brakes LOL). I don't believe a caliper change will be necessary with softer pads.I would suggest ordering the service manual and parts book as a start. Best to know what you are starting with before deciding what to do.
Straight line fast....
Going to need to look at the hooks on this thing first. While I personally think the brakes are manageable. Straight line fast is going to require a caliper and pad change.
Forks are going to need to be worked on as there is a lot of pogo in it with the stock oil. Heavier oil will dampen it, but I would look into changing the valve set up it altogether if you are really going to straightline it.
The tires will take whatever you do to it. They are solid.
First gear is seriously low. I would not look into the gear box as much as changing the ratio of the output cog and the rear drive sprocket. I believe from the low gearing in first gear a taller ratio will be supported on the output to tire drive.
Planning on Nitrous or anything other than naturally aspirated engine you are going to need a race tuner or other way to play with the ratio on this EFI motor.
I would suggest a fork brace and a triple tree dampener as well. This is not a showa front end. This is an endurance front end. So I would be real careful when making go fast stuff without looking at the flex, follow, wobble and recovery of the front fork system.
There is a thread on here from a father son team that are at Bonneville speed trials now. They will have a lot of good information when they get back.
