Great job man! 150+ on a big nekkid bike is moving! A little nitrous would be a fun way to pack on a few more mph, if you want to do it the easy way. Just puts you in the fuel class, instead of gas.

thanks Spaz, weve got some ideas on somethings were wanting to do for October. It was a real hoot for sure, right out the box i threw my dart backwards and at 130ish it wanted to flip around and get right, so my cg was definitely off. I had to go pretty hard out the box to get the big girl up to speed for my final run and believe i can improve on this, i have throttle left everywhere its just getting it applied and not messing up other stuff during the run. Gonna travel across the country on trips, putting down miles, then after i return from a trip out west in august after touring her around im gonna get her dressed back up to go fast. Its fun having a tourer that can throw down in the wild on pump gas and then go lsr. Looking forward to watching you push big numbers this year! They said the motor was to mean sounding to be in the up to 3000cc class

"Threw my dart backwards "? What does that mean?

I'm going to take a guess and say that he has his CoP (center of pressure) a wee bit in front of his CoG (center of gravity). The idea being that a dart has its CoG ahead of its CoP... if you throw it backwards it flips around in the air. Likewise, if you don't have your CoG at least 6" in front of your CoP, the bike becomes aerodynamically unstable at high speeds... a loss of lateral grip at that point will cause it to try and 'flip around'... generally resulting in a face full of ground and energetic disassembly.

Exactly, throw a dart feather reed end first, it will turn around, im thinking the bags change the cg towards rear and big girls dont like that at high speeds
