Dude, that is SWEEEEET!! I sprayed 80 twice on mine (shouldve remembered to bring extra drawers). It stood straight up in 4th and I'm 77". Great looking machine!

Re: u.k. fireblade dragbike update

Hi thanks for the positive words,there seems to be a if it aint a suzuki it aint worth doing attitude around drag racing in the u.k . are you sure about the 77" i had to go 20"over on the swing arm to get my 73" that left me with a chain nearly 9' long got to make some sort of tentioner !. i'm trying to get hold of the large spacer needed to run my lockup clutch any ideas , the clutch parts are m.r.e.but they dont make the spacer ring any more. anyway thanks for the reply,all the best.

Re: u.k. fireblade dragbike update

yes, you're correct. It's 67", my bad. Have you tried Schnitz racing? You could also try Elton Fish at EFRracing. He can probably make it for you, but he's a lil expensive. And yes, RR's get ZERO respect at the dragstrip. I run with 5 or 6 guys and we all have Hondas.
