He is stretched 12" with a kit, head, sidewinder and it's been shortnecked. The top of his windshield comes up just past my waist..it is LOOOWWW. I will try and get a pic of it, maybe at upcoming race end of July. He runs 6.0s on motor in 1/8th. |

| Re: nitrous prob on 954 It was custom made by another buddy of mine. He is good friends with DME which is where he got it shortnecked. We have a huge race coming up last weekend in July, I'll get plenty of shots then. Wish some of yall lived closer to the Southeast, we are the only Honda riders that show up. |

Busa after busa... stretched way the hell out - turbos or huge shots of nitrous. |

| Re: nitrous prob on 954 are you sure you are burning the electrodes off and not breaking them up from detonation? 14-1 shouldnt be burrning plugs apart. What exactly do the plugs look like? are the electrodes WHITE and smooth/round where burned off? Is there any residue on the plugs that looks like white or silver dust or very tiny droplets? Look inside the cylinder with a bore scope or if you can a flashlight. Is there any particles on the piston crown? Andy damage? |

| Re: nitrous prob on 954 Sikanimator, Little Rock ain't that far away..swing down and hang with us. We have about 5-6 guys and we always have a HUGE Honda banner up. What kills me about most Busa owners is even after you stomp a mudhole in em they still won't give you no respect. We have a 5.90 index class and it's nothing but Busas, 14's, a few 1K Gixxers and my lil 9RR. Me and a buddy always get drunk Saturday night and try to get a big money bet with his stock motored 1KRR (stretched 12") against any stock motored Busa (any length arm)...we have yet to have any takers. |

It's tough to get away on most weekends here with the kids and work and... you know - LIFE. The track I race at is about an hour and a half away and that **** seems like an eternity after loading the bikes up AGAIN and leavin the track to come home at like midnight. |

| Re: nitrous prob on 954 website is Alabama International Dragway it's located in steele, AL off of I59. It's the last weekend in July. we arrive friday afternoon and stay til sunday afternoon (or until all of our people are done racing). Bring the kids, surely they like camping. we run during the day and eat, b.s. and play dragracing on PS2 til 2 or 3 in the morning. We normally bring my wife's 2 boys and our monkey, but this year everybody is staying home and it's just the two of us for once. Hannah (the monkey) LOVES it, but she is just too much trouble keeping an eye on. She just turned 2 and has been both years..lol |

| Re: nitrous prob on 954 Sounds like fun. My 4 year old would be impossible to keep up with. I mean s he'd be GONE! If I ever get some time I'll let ya' know. It would be nice to run with some other Hondas. |

With the front strapped and the bike lowered it's all pretty level. When my bigass is on it with the shock softened up so it squats when I take off - they are almost dragging. Plus there's only about 5 lbs of air in the rear tire when I'm at the track  |
