Best time 11.15 @ 128 . 16 passes several at 11.17 and a few much slower 11.5 and 11.6. Can't keep the front down. I could launch the 929 much harder and get 11.01 @ 126. Rear spring feels very soft even though it's cranked up all the way. If I strap the front, should I strap the rear too?

Front strap will help your launches by helping keep front wheel down but if you launch hard enough bike will still lift the front wheel. Do not strap the rear as the shock needs to work to provide traction. It takes lots of practice to learn how to launch without wheeling too much or bogging off the line. I no longer have my 954 but have several threads on here about drag racing.
