hi rockape, what sort of powerplants u looking at using?
i have a bit of a soft spot for eighties air cooled donks due to there simplicity and robustness.....but im not against putting in a later model motor......but busa motors and such are out of my league as i have a limited budget...
Hi mate. Welcome to the mad 'ouse. I can tell you now that you're going to get bombarded with the same response, and that is get as big CC as possible mate to make it worth your while. There's lots of strong power plants mate, but one that has been used for years as a drag power plant is the GSX motor, but everyone knows that and they are hard to come across. Depending on just how far you want to push it, you could always go for the GSXR 1100 motor which is also very strong and has been a favourite with most on here (you can get the oil cooled or the water cooled model). These are the stand out motors for me but I'm sure a few other will have other choices.
Hey Rockape welcome to ASF,where on the Gold Coast are you? There are a few of us on here. DYO drag bike, thats the way mate. Hey Si, lots of dragracers getting on here, you might have to start a dragbike part of the forum. I have a couple of DYO dragbikes in the shed now.
I`ll be straight[:X]neva been a straightliner[8)]but have built an engine or 2at racing level it will cost the same(if not more)with a lower capacity
]wot i will say is this[8)]spend as much time as you can on sites like these B4 you"grid up"[^]this helps you in some way to be aware,search old pages in here[^]we will help
You know what Shayne, I might just have to start a drag racing section - well, considering we have a stunt section which is hardly used. In fact, fuck it. I'll do it now.
There. Done.
