kspz3 11-30-2004, 05:03 PM What exactly is a custom performance vrod - it would break Kaz' heart if a GIRL beat him into the 8s on a TURBO..... double whammy....KSP
kspz3 11-30-2004, 05:04 PM Sam should know this shouldn't he?
Cheatin 11-30-2004, 05:30 PM Rick,

That would explain the pink thong underneath the Dolphin shorts...

SORRY,CUSTOM PERFORMANCE IS THE COMPANY NAME I WAS GIVEN
FOR THE OWNER OF THE BIKE. I WAS TOLD AFTER THE RUN SHE WAS
ASKED TO LEAVE BECAUSE THEY MISREPRESENTED THE TIME AND
SPEED WHEN IT WAS TECHED.SHE WAS DRESSED FOR 11.00 SEC'S
AND SLOWER AND DIALED 11.80.
kspz3 11-30-2004, 05:35 PM And ran 8.8...... that would get you thrown out.... usually the full leather requirement at that point - how reliable is this source - sounds fishy to me - a girl and her turbo VROD... KSP

PRETTY RELIABLE DOSENT ALLWAYS GET NAMES RIGHT. SHE IS SUPPOSED
TO TEACH RIDING DOWN THERE. HE'S GETTING ME THE PHONE NUMBER
TO THEIR SHOP. JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE SAW OR HEARD OF
IT.FIRST I HAD, KINDA PUTS A DAMPER ON BEING THE FIRST IN THE 8'S.

Hey Rick, there's always the high 7's...
kspz3 11-30-2004, 06:01 PM First in Idaho still available...... always somebody out there pouring money at the world's fastest xxx title. Wonder if it is street legal - get the scoop and see if you can get pictures - I heard NLR was working on a system - wonder if it is theirs. Mr turbo was supposed to be also as well as RC or RB Racing.... I forget the name. Paul had a pretty interesting report on his installation but neither he nor Rick have been to the track yet. In Hagerstown a few weeks back there was a boatload of turbo rice rockets - low nines or high eights - I was really concerned that they were going to be taking one of those riders out of their in a box - as visibility was horrible from fog rolling in at night. But boy did they ever fly.... and they were all alive after the event. That track gets greasy at night - I rode a rocket down there last year and broke the tire lose at over 100 in my last ellimination power shifting into 3rd - I was glad to lose that race and put the bike away for the season.... I do not fish tail at high speeds very well. I took the VROD down this year for the event and made it to the finals for the final race of the season.... no more racing - oh well - time to start working on next season's setup. Any of you turbo folks planning on taking a pass at the track so we can see what these things can do... KSP
kspz3 11-30-2004, 06:26 PM Look at what I found - could be true - did they say it was a black VROD?

kspz3 12-01-2004, 08:36 AM My guess - need about 250 to 300 - KsP

aramp1 12-01-2004, 03:28 PM I think if I was going to put a turbo on my bike (which I'd love to), I'd probably get around to taking the dogass off first.

kspz3 12-01-2004, 05:55 PM 10.8....now that would be the ultimate disappointment after installing a turbo - hell mine could almost do that just installing Kaz in the pilot seat - plus lighter wheels and exhaust..SHEEEESH. Rick you had us all excited and now look at things :chair: - a 10.8 turbo :banghead: KSP

Rick, That Race has been over for awhile. We ran a couple 8.9's at our local track about two months ago. For every one info you need a tad UNDER 200 RWHP on a bike and rider combo of 661#. You also need a short time under 1.44. Thats just sucking air. No turbo

WELL AINT THAT JUST PEACHY! HOW ABOUT 7.99'S?OR 160MPH?
kspz3 12-02-2004, 05:30 PM Damn - that is fast - and I am guessing that was with no bars... an MT shootout tire? and Paul - 661 lbs is way too light for us mare humans.... big men need big machines - they are called hogs for crying out loud - put some weight back on that machine and feed your riders once and awhile. OK there is still the first nitrouds bike into the eights or the first turbo bike into the eights nines or (oh the girl got the 10). Paul we need to talk - I am going to give you a call if you don't mind...KSP

700LBS CLOSE AS I CAN GET,UNLESS I CUT OFF ONE OF PETES LEGS.
THATS AN OPTION!
kspz3 12-02-2004, 06:35 PM You said the air shifter worked perfect - so why would Pete need both legs anyway - Remember (or should I say dismember) weight is Horsepower! KSP
Paul Diener 12-02-2004, 06:42 PM WELL AINT THAT JUST PEACHY! HOW ABOUT 7.99'S?OR 160MPH?
The 7.99 sounds good but the 160 sounds like something came apart on the top end because that speed should be a little higher. :laugh:

I DONT WANT TO HOLD HIM UP AT THE STARTING LINE,HAVE TO HOLD HIM
UP A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER THE RACE! BUT HE DOES HAVE TO WIEGH
150LBS IN LEATHERS OR I'AM PUTTING A WOMAN ON IT!
:stilpoke:
Paul Diener 12-02-2004, 09:05 PM My vote is for the female. I haven't met your rider but I know I'll like the "girl at the track" better and I haven't met her yet either.
polizzio 12-02-2004, 10:01 PM Kaz, maybe you should get Paul to build you an engine, hell he's blowing all the vrod quarter mile records before you can keep an engine running and together for a week. And he's doing it normally aspirated.

Are you running big tire and bar, or stretched pro street look or street legal? Im not trying to pry the set-up out of you , I'm really curious . THANKS and AWESOME #'s Damn !

Thats It Your Kit just went Up $200! :spank: I asked Paul before Bonneville to Build me 2 Motors and he was Too Busy :hmm: !Ask Paul How many Motors he Has Broken Testing and on the Dyno :yak: !You Guy's Don't Realize thats all Part of the Game!You Learn from your Mistakes :popcorn .I'm Just The FOOL Who Tell's everyone about them :soapbox: !Goes to show I should Keep My Mouth shut and You All Can Find out on Your Own DIME! :alien:

For everyones info we have blown up our share and some of everyone else's share in our quest for the moon. The only way I know how to find the limit is go past it and then back up. We just went past the limits on V-rods back before Kaz even had one. He is doing a great job with what he is working with. I admire him for doing what he does because he is on a quest for more power and thats the same place I'm going. KEEP GOING KAZ

NO we do not currently have the Prostar record that class requires the bike/rider to weight 750# the best to date at that wieght during a Prostar meet that we have run was 9.21 at Indy meet. These passes where made with the big steel weight plates of the bike.
