So what are your plans for weight reduction (the bike, not you)?

I would think a cheap set of fiberglass fenders would be pretty easy to come by.
If this is basically just a race bike now, what about losing one front rotor?
Maybe a 21" front wheel (less rolling resistance, but not sure how that might effect other things). Any idea what your front wheel weighs? I've got a 21x3.25 60 spoke sitting in my shed I could weigh. It's pretty light.

Just curious on this stuff. What you're doing is really interesting to me. Best of luck.

That's awesome. Congrats. Surprised to see stock spoke wheels on there. Figure they wouldn't hold up to the abuse.

HTT sponsored home grown special? I'd kick in....

Zach

Well the wheels are used because they are the lightest set I own . And again to prove a point .
Yes you are welcome to kick in a set of Brock's carbon fiber wheels .  just kidding .
@ 750 lb bike 980 lb with rider . I am the heaviest bike in the class

Thank you
That pic is not off the line . It's at the top of 2nd gear. 6400 rpms the shift light just came on and my foot it going up to click 3 rd gear . The ign kill sets it back down on the shift .
The photographer was at 1000 ft capturing speed shots . She turned around and got me at 600 ft . She captured the bike all the way up and all the way down . ( she said I owed her a hug ) I had them frame it until it was at the highest point , with my foot just starting to raise. 
It was a great photo . And I gave her a BIG hug . Then spent lots of money .

Great job and an awesome looking bike as well, best of luck to you going down the line, you've obviously got what it takes to get there!

No set plan on weigh reduction . I am focused on more hp at this point .
I don't like a 21 wheel on a bagger ,mixed with speed myself .
Hoping to make 25-30 more Hp before the end of season . 50-75 more for next season .
Probably end this season with some good shocks ,and a little more hp . That should put it in the 9's . If not . There is always next year .

[strokerjlk]

Maybe a lithium battery if the sponsor comes through . That's 15-25 lbs

I like the Lithium idea. Hadn't thought of that.

Stroker if you can put it out there what kind of horsepower are you putting on the rear tire now?

I'm just curious and understand if you don't want to say.

Good job Jim.

Outstanding effort Jim.  Nice to see you achieving the goals you discussed!  No wonder you want to keep Lexi out of your shop.

9 seconds for the street bagger class...wow...that is taking it to the next level...for sure.
my poor ass ride is never going to be able to compete with you guys. 
I'm going to have to come up with some mad barn skills to shoot for that.

You have a good foundation . It won't take much barn work.

Great work Jim!

Congrats, I love the wheelie pic

[autoworker]

Congratulations!

That sure beats "bench and dyno" racing.

Thanks

Dyno queens don't always make good race bikes .

That was with two blown head gaskets also . 

[kd]

If you did that with 2 blown head gaskets there's no way but up from here. Even more excellent Jim

I suspected the rear was seeping. But I didn't think it was this bad .

[Panzer]

A blown head gasket didn't slow ya down.
Well done Mr., congrats.

Man, you probably could have lit a smoke off that leak. That probably says something about having a pump supplying the air for you.
