very nice Willie What pipe is that? I got your PM, I'll be calling you soon, been pretty busy and didnt want to call too late at night | ||
| Puzzled |
Nice job. That's a good looking arm on the bike. | ||
| Williep13 |
It's not finished yet but I had to let it see some day light. Hybrid- It's a Force exhaust. I just sold one that would fit your bike a few months ago. Puzzled- Thanks, who needs to spend $400-$700 on a custom swingarm? I paid 20 bucks for that one off of here and took it to a friend and told him what I wanted  | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
Pleased with the Force? I have one now, actually shipping it off tomorrow to get ceramic coated. Man I got it for a steal! 89 bucks SHIPPED to me. Couple small scratches and came with no isolators. I'll have less than 300 bucks in everything (including upgraded exhaust mounts etc) Bike is looking good bro, looking forward to seeing it again. You going to be at the Rock race in a month? | ||
| Williep13 |
I wouldn't have anything but a Force, but I haven't did a lot of research either. Just one of the first pipes experimented with and liked the results and love the sound, and it weighs next to nothing. That is a steal theses things can run up to $700. Thanks, I don't think I will make it to the Rock the wife would probably kill me my baby is due on the 27th. If I knew there was going to be a race in April I would of planned the pregnancy better | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
Haha, good call. Yeah, if she gives birth on the 27th, its probably a bad idea to leave for the weekend a day or two later | ||

Willie - was looking at your pics again (about the Force), and was looking at the axle in relation to body work. Im sure you know, but AHDRA is a stickler on the bodywork extending to the axle, they'll probably require you to add something on the rear. I've seen a lot of people just do a small piece of sheet metal to extend a few inches to be legal | ||
| Williep13 |
Thanks for the heads up but its in the works already. I am fabricating a 7 inch extension to come out from under where the tail light is. I also still need to weld tabs for a chain guard. | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
oh dang, chain guard, thanks for reminding me about that for my new arm. I did luck up a while back, won a Tiger Racing chain guard off dragbike.com. But I'll need tabs welded on. What are you doing for the extension? Just a piece of metal or what? | ||
| Williep13 |
I might be able to make The Rock after all my wife had the baby last thursday I made my own guard out of aluminum angle it isn't the full length of the chain but i've never seen any rule saying it had to be and i've seen shorter. AHDRA rule say's that it has to have a chain guard no specification on the length of it. | ||
| Williep13 |
Garret- I learned over the weekend that NHRA rules says that the chain guard has to go to the center point of the axle. The one I made is close the tech guy let me slide but told me to get it fixed before I come back. If you havn't made any passes with your new swingarm I think you will like it. I love mine, 60 ft time was down to 1.47 Bike picked up a tenth as well and I even took some away with the motor rebuild over the winter. Should be dialed in for rockingham though ran a couple 10.80's | ||

WIllie congrats on the baby!!! No, no passes yet on new swingarm....its not even on yet. Been getting parts in for it and I think Im picking the final pieces up today from the dealer. I should have it on by Rockingham and I'll test it in the TNT session on Friday. Same for the Exhaust, I've got to put that on too. Thanks for the heads up on the chain guard length, I should be good to go though, the one that I won was made for a lot of jap bikes, its long as hell, aluminum. So Ive got to pick the parts up, start tearing it down and putting it all back together with the new arm. And then take it to fab shop for welding - getting bars cut to fit the new arm (has wheelie bar mounts on it already and someone gave me a set of bars to use if I had to get a pair altered), and then a tab for my chain guard. The shop I use for welding builds race cars, oval track, so they do a lot of stuff there, while there I'll be getting a longer brake line made. Curious - you've had a longer arm in the past, right? You have a longer rear brake line laying around for sale by chance??> Saw your post on AHDRA, wish I knew another racer up north you could split gas with. | ||
| Williep13 |
Thanks If your going to that exhaust you really need to dyno that thing I bet it will be running lean in your mid rpm's, that can be costly I know from experience lean is fast but pistons don't like it. I picked up 6 HP and 4 ft lb of torque going to the dyno last time. If not I would atleast go in and richen up from 3500 to 7000 rpm just a little. Why are you keeping the wheelie bars if your extending it? Get rid of the training wheels  Originally I just rerouted the original brake line because it is ran all crazy under the battery box and around the frame I bent the tubing and made it work but I finally spent the $50 to buy the fittings and hose to make one. If they are charging more than that just look in a fat book and buy the peices you need they bolt right together it took about 10 minutes to put on. I can post pics of the finished product if you want to see? No big deal just a long ride by yourself and people are always complaing about the cost I figured I would try and help someone out not takers yet. I posted on there last year too and no one wanted a ride. | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
No, staying with the bars, using the extended arm to smooth out the chassis some I ride with people as much as I can, gas is the biggest part of the cost in racing, any chance I can cut some of that I do Yeah, post a pic of what you got for the rear Not sure how much that shop charges, will find out when I take it to them. They usually do me real well on price, so I dont expect it to be much over 50 , its not that long of a piece No time for dyno before the race, but I do plan to hit one afterward and get a good tune made up | ||
| Williep13 |
Here is the final product (for now);   Is yours ready to go? Another questions off topic, do you have a ECMSpy disc? My computer crashed and now they are charging for the program. | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
I have the disc, will you have your laptop at Rockingham? Looking good Willie No, my bike isnt done. In fact the swingarm is half off right now, no exhaust on it, various little things to be done. About to go back out there and do more work. | ||

any progress here... |
