mikuni flat slide 34mm

It doesn't take much bike to throw you off the high side when the tire grabs. Case in point:

Using a et calculator bike and rider at 760 lbs with 100 horses I get 11.99 in the quarter.

a 2 degree change either way in air temp throws that out the window! :laugh:
dont forget track conditions,air pressure in tire,clutch slipping,reaction time........... :woohoo:

I have personally seen a stock KZ1000 run 12.3-12.5 e.t.'s. Not a common sight though. Have also seen similar bike with different rider running in the mid-13's, so a lot is in the rider sitting behind the bars. I have had my 1075, 29 smoothies, V&H street header with baffle in, otherwise stock motor and stock wheelbase in the 11.4's but usually in the 11.7-11.8 range with an occasional 11.6 thrown in there to confuse me. I KNOW there is more there but that poor 130/18 tire can't handle much more then that. That's with a 720 lb. bike and rider. I need to check my cams as I know they are retarded (no wisecracks! lol) but not sure how much. That's in mid-summer heat around 90*. Many years ago, guys around here were running 11.8's consistently with KZ1000's with only a header and a slick...no bars and otherwise stock...motor and chassis except for struts.

yeah i bet ya those woould work really well on a 1428 with lots of compression and a really big set of cams! :laugh:

i bet even a combination like this runs good at a certain rpm range,im guessing its somewhere between 8500-9000 though! :woohoo:

Nice - that's right where I set my idle!
