People are running just fine with swingarm extensions and straps. And while I dislike swingarm extensions, I don't see a need to go 70".

Seriously, if you guys want to get a feel for what grudge bikes do. Go to youtube and type in grudge racing. Enjoy.


btw, mine is far from a grudge bike..Most of those guys dont ever run cooling systems, run on little to no oil, etc.. Big money though.

I'm sorry but your functionality argument went out the when you went with such a long stretch it actually hinders your original goal of the stretch. Even 'Trust', a fellow & respected moderator said good luck keeping traction..

you said it in your post why a stretch is good. If you need throttle modulation, then you need to do something different. You don't go fast by easing into the throttle. You have to literally be all the way in it as fast as you can. Then throw on nitrous in first gear, yeah.

btw if it's worth anything it went low 9's last year with a 1.7 60' bogging with a stock clutch that was grabbing to hard. That was on motor at 64''.

This new clutch has been proven to provide 1.3 60's

I'm not swinging on anything...

He needs to post a time to prove the bike has been to the strip? I KNEW it had been, no need for him to post times.

Well if he was god, like you, he wouldn't even need to mod the bike I guess.

They might be running "just fine", maybe he wanted to run better than just fine.
So, with that said.... He should go with an extension and straps... But you dislike extensions and you don't see a need to go 70"..... Maybe he should have a 240hp bike with him weighing nothing and have it stock length?
Please share us your vast array of knowledge.. You always have so much when it comes to bikes.

And because he is a well respected mod on a car forum his word is the end all when it comes to stretching a bike?
I like trust, ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with him... But that was kind of dumb to say.

I said that because maybe he won't blow off Trust and claim he is talking out of his *** like he is doing to anyone else. He is not someone to talk out of his *** from what I've seen. It's not just a bunch of uneducated people who don't understand it like Dlove is playing everyone off to be. Dlove's got his hater vision on and anyone who doesn't agree with him is wrong.

Lee Shiert's high 7 second pass on a nitrous GSXR. Simular stretch to Dlove's and never lifts the tire once.

Still need a 70inch on your 9 second bike? All about the rider..

Blah, blah, blah. My point was, had he posted previous times, it would have likely shown readers that the bike does get used, and has run a #. And he would be hoping to improve them. As you said, some people may not know exactly what their looking at.

I've ridden an 8" stretched turbo '02 gsxr. Making 2xx hp and it hooked up just fine with the 8" stretch.

Swingarm extensions and straps will get you in the 9s no problem. FYI.

EDIT: Ahhh yes. I remember you, you're the guy who thought their bolt on 954 was making well over 150wheel if I recall?

I highly doubt he will be content running 9s.. As you can see he is already trying to improve on that. Why wouldn't he go ahead and stretch it now to get a feel for it... That way when he is running low 8s or whatever it may be, he already knows the bike.
He isn't the one that has the glasses on.
Just because he is a mod, doesn't make him educated about bikes.

Again, who says he is content with running 9s?

Not sure.. I'm sure it was in the 140ish range... I see no reason why it wouldn't be... I handed quite a few liter bikes their asses. Full exhaust/filter/tune.. I believe that is about right for those mods if I'm not mistaken.

Because they don't realize I'm arguing with them just to get them riled up. Thanks man.

I guess I just figured people would associate my name with the drag section and being pretty hardcore about drag stuff. Forgot that most people in here don't even know we have a drag section. So I decided to **** with them.

Who said it's going to run 9's this year? I guess you know everything done to my bike? How does what it ran last year, have to do with what it will do this year?

btw be sure to see my comments about trolling people.

First thing I thought about was your white camaro and trying to follow your weight reduction on it! I think I even sent you a PM or two back and forth discussing weights on some things!
