Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R

[goodhart]

Nope! Never will! Perk of the job :D

Haven't done much as far as mods this summer as it's pretty much how I want it other than nitrous and I don't think I'll put nitrous on it. Too much of a headache.


I did lower the front and back a little bit more this year though. Gives it a solid stance with my stretched tires :spin:

Earlier this month at proving grounds was the best it's gone. Bike weighed 395lbs which I was pretty pumped about. I ended up weighing 225 suited which I wasn't so pumped about lol. If I could lose 20 lbs over the winter I could get this thing into the 8s on pump gas then keep getting better launches I think I could be there pretty consistently.

Picked up a cruiser this week though so probably put some money into making that my own. Maybe make a thread on that too if I get bored. Kind of hope I could run 11.99 on this thing lol

Those time are so consistent, awesome work Brad.

Seriously, change the exhaust on the cruiser. That thing is a cannon and looks goofy and out of place with the rest of the bike.

Or just replace the can with this:

Always loved warriors, nice! Only gripe about those is the stupid exhaust pipe, no idea what they were thinking.

Thanks sir! I did put an auto shift on it too, so I'd shift at the same time everytime as long as I didn't spin. That probably helped be pretty consistent too lol

The bike had some Vance and Hines Big Radius on it for a little while before he took them off. He had them coated black and I remember when I rode it with the pipes it sounded good and remember them looking really nice when they were blacked out.

No money now but probably see if I can score a good deal on something this winter so got time to decide. I'll have to make sure they don't scrape either, this thing has been getting the pegs scrapped pretty hard this past weekend lol

Does the warrior wheelie?

[C3L1CA]

Ended up going to a 520 drag chain and currently have a -1/+7 sprocket on the bike. I also have a +6 sprocket in case the +7 is too much gearing. Went with an aluminum rear sprocket and got some aluminum sprocket nuts to try and save a little weight. Didn't save a ton of weight but saved a bit.

Before I changed the sprockets a busa wanted to race the bike so a quick run was done against that bike.

Since I am pretty desperate for 8s on pump gas and I didn't save that much weight with the 520 setup, I plan on running with no rear caliper at the track this weekend. Couldn't believe how much that stuff weighed. Finger crossed between the new drag chain and sprocket combo and rider weight loss mod of around 10-15lbs, I can crack off that 8 on pump gas

Also had a local college photography student come over and take some pictures of the bike while I worked on it and took a cool one when I was done> Photo cred to Logan Baxter Photography

Love it, our bikes couldn't be any more different; but we are both racing Kawi's baby.

[tehehodi]

LOL damn dude! Change out all the bolts for aluminum and get CF body work. Remove one caliper and rotor up front!

Awesome on the rider mod, just don't forget to poop in the morning and take ex lax the night before. Can't wait to see what this thing runs. I might be able to come out Sunday and snap photos if I can hitch a ride or something.
