Well shit, just when I thought next year may be my year haha

Re: Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R
 

I'd bet you get me on the street easy peasy, I ain't going to be trapping what you trap.

Be fun to line up against each other at the track though and on some deserted highway in Canada lol

Re: Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R
 

Ehhh idk haha, it should be a fun year though!

Got the motor out today! Now just gotta take the head off and get it shipped out, hope to ship it out in the next week or so.

Still trying to make that Kawi fast eh?

Re: Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R
 

Yea I guess, probably have this bike for a long long time at this rate!

Got the head shipped out monday and the guy got it today and already started working on it. He said it was the cleanest 10 head he's ever gotten as far as exhaust ports/chamber goes. Pumped to put it all back together and hopefully make good power and run some good times.

My online bench racing calculator says if I can lose like 10 more lbs I could possibly be knocking on 160mph traps

Re: Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R
 

Guy texted me some pics last night. I think it's looking good but I'm a noob at headwork. Hopefully it makes good power and I don't have any extra bolts left when it's all together lol

Looks clean to me. Good work man!

Re: Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R
 

Horry chit! That is awesome! Can't wait to see what you do make and see you hit your goals.

Well photobucket can suck a fat one and making people pay for pictures. Oh well, time to move onto something better, maybe I'll go back and update the thread with pictures again if I ever get a ton of free time...

Bike finally made it back on the road yesterday for a quick ride in 90 degree temps with high humidity and the bike ran good! It definitley needs more fuel than before the headwork. I noticed the bike going a bit lean even in the mid range with just barely, barely getting on it. So that's a good sign there might be some more ponies to be had! Hope to try and get some more miles on it this week/weekend and try and get the tune dialed in as best I can on pump gas.

If I can get the tune dialed in over the weekend and all is well with the bike, there is a bike night on the 25th with a mobile dyno. I'm tempted to throw a street tire on the bike and see what it makes extended on a street tire in hot summer temps. Ideally I'd like to go back on the dyno after I get a mr12 tune done on it, back to swb and cool fall temps to try and get some better dick swinging numbers out of it.

There is also a track day on August 12th I want to try and make it out to. Probably swap out to the track plastics if I make it out the the track then after the track I'll be raising the forks a bit to fit that big ugly lsr fender on it and putting the stock arm back on. Then hopefully out to Maine for the Loring 1.5 miles land speed event on Sept 1st!

But I'm so pumped it has ran good so far and has no leaks or issues. I was thinking for a while the bike would be sitting in the garage like this forever and ever

Re: Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R
 

Were you out testing earlier? I thought I may have seen you (by some nice roads ;) )

Re: Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R
 

I was on east river road doing laps last night trying to get data for the midrange. Might have to find a different place to do wot pulls though as you can hear my bike at my house when I do pulls there lol

Re: Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R
 

So sexy!

Re: Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R
 

very nice.

Re: Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R
 

Yup, I saw you! I was in a silver '14 MDX. Did a u-turn in the intersection in front of you.

Re: Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R
 

Next time you're doing pulls by me hit me up mang.

Bike looks like it's coming along nicely.

Figured with the new marriage and old man bagger the race bike would be on its way out

Re: Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R
 

Got a few little things done to this thing this week. Got some TST Industries levers. They seem pretty good quality for the money and they had awesome customer service. Figured for the mile the less things I have sticking out the better!

Comparison looking down

I have a front picture too from my camera that shows it a bit better too. They ended up saving about 1oz over stock levers

Also got in some metal valve stems to be legal for the standing 1.5 mile racing. I'll put these in when I swap over back to normal street tires. I also got a new shorter 520 chain for when I put the stock swing arm back on it hopefully next week.

I swapped on the track plastics I found for a good deal. I weighed stuff without the belly pan and figured I saved about 8.5 lbs but forgot I didn't include the stock seat in my weighing. So think stock seat is about a 1lb or so, so maybe saved at least 9lbs. Also got a new clear windscreen so I can actually see through it in a tuck.

I wasn't a huge fan of the green at first, but it is kind of growing on me. I'll run without the belly pan at the drag strip, I don't want to come down from a wheelie and wreck it. Does look nice I think being slammed with the belly pan though.


I also race my buddy with another gen 4 with all the same mods less the head work stuff. He dead hooks on the street from rolls and I spin a bit but was fun to get out there and do some highway pulls again.

Plan to get out on the track this Saturday so tested the new to me trailer out and seems like it'll be slick. Excited to be able to load everything up the night before then just hop in the truck in the morning and head out.
