It's been a long day at work and I have been thinking about this pile, so figured might as well do an update.
Some of the pictures from the little burnout shoot I mentioned earlier
After getting my nhra license I brought the bike up to proving grounds. I figured my 60's would suck so made a video of my tach while launching that I could post on a drag bike forum asking for tips. They ended up giving me a lot of new things to try and good ideas.
I then bought a super moto with money I had saved up to ride out the California that summer. Then sold that to pick up another r1 as it was a good deal. Also picked up a motor from a local guy to replace the blown up one.
Threw the new motor in the frame and checked the valves and they needed to be adjusted. Never had enough motivation to bring it somewhere to get them done so I ended up swapping swing arms from the bikes and trying out some new launching ideas as well as new gearing on the other r1
With the other bike, gearing and different launching I was able to run a 9.5 without the bottle.
I think with some more seat time I can get it down to a mid 9.4 with a better 60' and no bottle. Plus with spray I think it should go low low 9s next year! Fingers crossed.
This is how it currently sits as of today waiting for me to bring it somewhere to get the valves adjusted. Hopefully this weekend can bring it somewhere and start putting it together during Christmas
