Sidecar Racing

[scrivy]

From the top. Cams, valve springs and retainers, valves, injectors, flowed head, slugs, rods, crank (if someone were to be doing it properly but you can get away with a standard one), clutch (the whole lot), selector barrel and shifter star, and oil pump and pickup. Then there's the ECU and loom.
That represents $70k ish on a superbike. I doubt there's a lot on the list that doesn't go into a top chair motor.

I understand the basic go fast goodies, but why the clutch (we haven't put in a single plate or spring in the bus in about 6 seasons, are 1000 ones weaker or not lock up?), also, why the selector barrel and star? I could understand H/D forks, but barrel and star?? What about an increase in fuel pressure??

[scrivy]

Guess you don't have the sack.

Goat balls??

[Shaun Harris]

Really? Because one of us has had several trips to hospital after bike crashes, the other has been once after his brakes failed.

Guess you don't have the sack.

Yep, and some of us have actually won major races also

Clutch because the slipper from Yoshi is a comete unit, and adjustable, and really cool. Selector stuff because all that shit is specific to quick shifter.

Fuel pressure is a cheat, bigger injectors and adjustable timing is better.

Wonder what the odds would be given on you or I ever doing that in the future. Sure as fuck I can't think of anyone who'd bet on either of us.

An what an Honour it is to be one after all the work and commitment that went into it for so many years

Same way as a solo, measure the sag. Helps to have a basic understanding of what each function of a shock does.
Standard on the shock we run is about 8-9kg, reckon we'll go 11 or 12 to gain the stability I want. But if that kills the pace we can launch at, I'll find a middle ground and get the compression stack stiffened up to all fuck in the middle.

We had one of the top UK guys give our outfit a going over when he was here on holiday a few years back and he reckoned we were pretty well right with what we had, since then both rider and swinger weights have gone down about 20kg per each, launches are the worst bit, wheel spins like a bastard

We used the same clutch in the K4 for 4 seasons and it wasn't new when we got it

$3600US is only $4636NZ??
Why $12,500??

Because he got tucked by the guy in Oz he got it through and didn't know any better at the time

Ok, at $4600ish, lets buy 2 each.

[scrivy]

You could buy a 2010 motor off Yoshi Merica with 207hp for .... only $3600US

Really??????? That can't be right bro.... the fast bits cost 4 times that alone....

[scrivy]

Hang on, you used to swing for Dave..... so you BOTH can't have lost 20 kgs...... maybe your passenger is 20 kgs lighter than you were.....

Well the guy who told me has had a few #NZ1 plates on his bikes over the years so I think he should know what he's talking about, if I can come up with 10K I'll have the K9 and K10 motors he has sitting in his shed one of which is full of good bits

[Kickaha]

Fuck me, how fat was dave?

Didn't you just buy some new leathers because you were too fucking fat to fit your old set?
