My Road King ran an 11 sec 1/4 mile!
A few people have asked for a vid of the king at the strip, so here is a couple of vids cut together from last nights street meet at WSID Eastern Creek.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs7AMQByquo
I got my 11 second pass, only just. 11.993 @ 111 mph.
The bike has a major handicap - the guy on it. I just couldnt get everything right. I would get the launch right and then hit the limiter on one of the shifts. Its a frustrating sport, there is much more to getting a good pass than meets the eye.
The first vid is with the screen on. The et was 12.319 @ 113 mph. Note the big rev limiter hit in 1st and I tagged it again in 2nd. Watch the shift light next time dunce!
The second vid was the best run of the night, 11.993 @ 111 mph.
The third is an on board. Its super shaky but you get the idea of the sound anyhow. It was 12.094 @ 112 mph and was the last run with the screen on. All the runs had the saddlebags on, the bike and I tipped the scales at 477kg (1050lb).

..cool video!..couple of questions came to mind, 1. what does a stock Road King do in a quarter..I'm guessing high 13's.. 2. what was the bike racing next to you 3. what is the basic set up in your motor?(compression, cam, cubic inch, and headwork?)....

2. In which vid? The on board vid was a TLR 1000 Suzuki. The 11.993 vid was a softail with a 103 and 620 cams. Sounded wilder than my bike! Dont remember the other one.
3. Check the signature. S&S 124 Hot Set Up Kit. 4 5/8" stroker. Forged everything. Compression 10.8:1. Heads are S&S CNC ported with triple springs, roller rockers etc. Its actually a touring motor, the mid range is stronger than the top end. 680 cams would be better for the strip.

Not sure if you have checked out Clark Hemrick racing. Clark is not doing so good and could use all our best wishes.
