Joe,
You are the man.
My gains were mainly attributed to lowering Cd (mainly my big head),
increasing traction, and gearing the bike to take advantage of my top end
HP.
I did not try to be legal because I did not think I would gain the 16 mph.
I was pushed to excel by an unnamed 2003 Gixxer pilot. Thanks! ;=)
It's amazing what pure determination (and the extra 2 miles) will do!
I have already started the engine work and looking for some racing plastic.
Now, If I can only remember what I did this year :=( .....
P.S. : NOS will have to wait until master the current brackets.
Unofficial records exist only in the mind of the beholder! (hehe)

for sure, 183+ one liter na is in my book
phenomenal, im too dumb to run na, I couldnt
run 183 without alot of nitrous
hope you well with your project, maybe you could
run nitrous next year, the existing record in my eyes
is pretty soft considering the yahoo who set it, there is plenty left
there, it will probably fall next week or in March
ps I even work on projects that dont match my goals
can you pass on any secrets on how you picked up
16 mph with no engine work and same body??
i couldnt resist giving you crap for not finding a way to
be legal and have that record
unofficial records???
Joe
