    My 1000

    Bought a K4 1000 a few months ago from the auctions to build as a dragbike it looked like this

    Ive done a bit of work and it now looks like this 68in, nitrous, Tsukigi sidewinder, air shifter, 2 step, 1.5in billet sump with swinging pickup should be finished in the next few weeks. Then testing time.

    Yeah the tail is a bit pointy but nowhere near as pointy as it looks in the pics. Ben did the swingarm for me, was a normal K4 1000 arm he lopped off the top brace, extended it by 13in and underbraced it. His work is the best you can get, absolutely perfect. As for the times im hoping to be a contender in the "8sec for 8 grand" class Should be good at AFR09. The brake lines surprised me , i flipped the line around on the master cylinder and moved it slightly on the caliper and its the right length, surprised me alot. Dropped it on its guts today, ive got 2.5in clearance at the lowest point now which is the shock linkage knuckle, so thats as low as i can go.

    You can get a straight link knuckle , lets you get lower and increases the rocker ratio .like on here http://innovativemachine.com/Innovative%20Products.htm or here

    what spring will you use? my long busa runs a 16 kg/mm (std is 13) and the long arm on my 750 has a busa spring (750 std is 8kg/mm)

    Greg got a flat link on order from Zook at the moment should be here soon, also Wayne that races the white outlaw bike up here can get springs for a good price wasnt sure which one to get, might try a 18kg/mm one tho.
    Pete, yeah the 8sec for 8 grand title should be interesting, Ben will most likely have more power than me but ill have time on my side as i should have mine finished sooner. Im not sure if my bike will haul my fat arse into the 8sec zone tho. I reckon Large should get in on this too with his ZX12R.
