Fat Bob build & ride
Took this video yesterday at the Texas Motor Speedway.
The acceleration run was from 0-95 mph in under 8 seconds. The launch was with easy, no clutch dump or burnout to warm the tire. Could probably get close to 7 seconds with timers on a drag strip. Should be able to run high 11 second quarters with no windshield, no mirrors and not sitting straight up

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...cture065-1.jpg I'm racing this cammed up 110 SE after he puts it on the dyno. I will have it on video, I feel pretty good about running him I'm 210 he's 260 and I'm a regular at the strip on my Ninja, It's his first time. Either way I'll have a few numbers to compare.

LOL. The beast is fun, it just keeps pulling and pulling.
The dual speedo/tach is useful, but it is mounted way to low to be of much use when wearing a full face helmet ..... can't see the tach.
It does supply useful data for the gearing/ speeds.
Stock gearing:
1st gear = 52 mph at 6400 RPM
2nd gear = 74 mph at 6400 RPM
3rd gear = 100 mph at 6400 RPM
4th gear = hmmm ... 122, crap forgot. Will have to check again.
I think top speed will be in 4th gear. I think 5th and 6th are too tall for the bike's aerodynamic drag/power ratio. It might be able to creep a few mph in 5th gear beyond the top of 4th.
