    My first Dragbike - GSX1100EF

    Firstly I thought I'd better start with a disclaimer..... I'm a complete newby when it comes to setting up and riding a bike as a Drag bike.

    I bought an 84 GSX1100EF a while ago with the plan of getting it back on the road as some old school cool with a few modern twists eg front end and rear end conversion. As usual, murphy came along and changed those plans so Plan B was enacted.... Making it into a drag bike...

    I've been down the strip a few times on a few of my road bikes eg GSXR11 Streetfighter and ZX12R etc I've met a bloke who's been riding EFEs as a drag bike for years who's helping me get my bike ready for my first run in 2 weeks and is going to mentor me to ensure I dont F up and kill myself lol.

    So far I've swapped out the 1100 rear suspension and put in a 750 rear shock to drop the arse end. I've dropped the front end by pulling through forks by an inch or two and putting on a set of clip ons.ive also put a set of tie down straps on front forks too

    Future plans for the bike as follows:
    - Sidewinder exhaust
    - 38 flat side carbs
    - 4.5 inch rear wheel conversion
    - air shifter
    - straight cut gears
    - etc etc

    Loose the dash, it'd pick up 0.5sec due to less wind resistance lol
