That's awesome Kirby. You're braver than me. Those things just look incredibly dangerous and difficult ride. Gotta learn how to steer with your body.

But you've done it right, mastering PD before taking on TF. If anyone has the skills, it's you. Best of luck to you.

Maybe not the place for this but...has anyone ever put a Top Fuel bike on a dyno? Can it even be done? Would the results even be useful?

like any nitro powered vehicle,it cant be done.they are estimated to be in the 1000 hp area

You are a brave man getting on one of those things. They don't seem to like having people on them. They are entertaining as hell for us observers!
Looking forward to seeing and hearing how it goes for you.

That's about 4 times what I would be comfortable with.. Is it a Harley based bike?

it is a 45* v twin,but other than that,its about as "harley" as john forces funny car is camaro (the HD nitro bikes & most big gas bikes havnt used HD parts for 25 years)

You trying to say a Twin Cam engine can't be modified to handle 1,000 HP reliably?
