I bought this bike last year as a roller. We installed a mild 6.5 clone and a torque converter. I ran the bike at Ubly Dragway and then at Milan Dragway. We were being careful and doing a lot of testing with the bike.
This is what we learned:
1. The bike runs true and straight with an old fat guy riding it.
2. I hate the color and it will get changed.
3. The front triple tree stem is bent and the entire front fork needs to get replaced.
4. The footpegs must be cut off and moved back.
5. The twist grip throttle will get replaced with a thumb throttle.
6. The rear tire leaks air at the bead. I need to break it down, clean and reseat the bead.
7. The engine is too small and a pumped up GX420 will work better.
8. The current gas tank requires a fuel pump. I am not a fan of using a fuel pump so a new gravity feed fuel tank will be fabricated and installed.
9. The Comet torque converter is not made for drag racing. It will be replaces by a Shockwave clutch system.
10. Other items will be changed as things progress.
