Default RE: 1/4 mile ? need to drop some tenths

ORIGINAL: Object

the main thing here is if you want the bike streetable. Most muscle cars that are set up to drag can't go much faster than their top speed in the 1.4. yer top speed is 125...i'm sure the bike can go faster...so you keep changing the gearing so that yer in the power all the time. so going up 2 in the rear would help ALOT. your top speed overall would drop but your useable power below your top speed would increase.

i dunno how to explain it really..your bike won't top out as high, but you will reach that top speed faster than you would on stock gearing. so say on stock gears you hit 125 in 11 seconds and top out at 160, when you gear down you will hit 125 in 10 seconds but your top speed will only be 145 or 140. these aren't exact calculations, but you see where i'm headed. also, a longer swing arm would prevent hop and put more power usable power down. but i thinik that the +2 will be the cheapest way to drop a few tenths.
+1 that should drop a tenth or two

Just curious, how much do you weigh? That alone will help.
