.060 Over
'Ello folks... figured I would start here.... been lurking for a few minutes and decided, "Why not?". I'm off and on a few other forums for other bikes I have, so hopefully I'm not to green here.
Have a super clean, 20K mile '04 that landed in my lap... but I'm doing some things that I imagine quite a lot of people won't like. I picked up a Land Speed habit a few years ago, and I'm in the process of developing this bike to run in the 3000 M-BF/M-BG classes... and maybe even the MPS or APS class next year (2000cc -> 3000cc bracket, "M" being unfaired with a lightly modified chassis, for those of you that don't speak LSR). Oh, and I'm going to keep it AZ street legal for this year as well, as absolutely stupid as that may be. It is definitely going to be a hard right turn from the norm, I can promise that.
So far I'm pretty impressed with this bike as it is, it is certainly a departure from my roots (Japanese L twins and turbo I4's). Between my own skill set an my good friend, we machine/weld/fabricate/wire/tune just about everything we do in my garage. If anyone has an interest, I'd be happy to post up a build thread on the R3 over this year and the next. Having a dyno inhouse garage (and wide open desert roads) lets me do some neat development that not a lot of folks get to see.
We run a pair of fast turbo Harleys as well, and I keep a turbo ZX10R in street trim for giggles... looking forward to how this bike develops! Again, I was a little stunned with the numbers this thing put up when I baselined it.... methinks someone has been in the ECU tuning on it before, or K&N filters have some new magical pixie dust in them now. (2 pulls, one with what appears to be the stock exhaust on and one one with everything off right after the O2 sensor).
Anyway, Howdy!
