If the weather holds out I'm going to try mine tonight.i ended up with 7 ¹/² inch stretch went from 110 links of chain to 130 wheel base from 57 to 64 1/2 should be interesting
Keep us updated. Get a video if you can. I always have multiple people that call me a lier when I tell them you are in the 6's on stock wheel base and a shifter.
 
First nite with the extensions was a success 2 10.6 1 10.5 3 10.4 5 10.2 1 10.16 my new best. Best 60 ft 1.66 so still room for improvement but it was a blast !
That is quick! Does it still want to wheelie with the extensions?

It is way better ! There's still some lift at the initial clutch release but after that run right on the stop,it needs some adjusting but I wanted to go with just the swingarm change to see the difference , beat my best by .32 and have to "relearn" how to launch
 
Watsun, how busy is the track you go to? How many runs can you make a night?
I made 4 passes last night total. Honestly if the forcast is good it is packed with cars. Best case scenario I could maybe make 6 passes total. I had to leave a little early last night because of a storm that was rolling in. The track is in Moorsville NC.

Quick question CW.....are you going through a lot of clutches? I'm curious how long mine will last with the constant abuse at the track?
 
It looks like I spoke to soon had 3 good passes last night then the clutch started slipping in 4th and 5th took it apart today the plates are good but the basket is cracked , looking at options...
Extreme creations makes a billet clutch basket replacement. I made it to the track a few more times over the pass few weeks. Best pass as of now is a 7.58 at 101 mph with a 1.93 60 ft. Finally got my quick shifter from Yamaha put on yesterday so I am going to the track again Thursday and hopefully I can pull a 7.3 or 7.4. There is a tone of time in my 60 ft if I can get the launch down. Going to strap the bike down soon as well.....

That quick shifter should help you out,I got the billet basket all back together but have to wait till next week to try it

Went to Rockingham Saturday and ran the quarter mile for the first time. Best was a 11.37 at 122 mph. Matched my best 1/8th at 7.43. The quick shifter is helping a lot with consistency. Still only throwing 2.0 60fts so tons of time left if I can launch it better.
 
So I haven't posted here in a while I got in a vicious cycle of making little changes that didn't work or made it slower but finally got back on track today , ran a 10.23 , two 10.13s a 10.12 then my best ever 10.05 at 133.2 !! Of course I thought today would be my day to break into the 9s so on the next run hit it a little too hard at the start wheelied bad smashed the drain plug into the oil pan and then spent the rest off the track trying to keep my oil soaked rear tire from putting me in the concrete barrier , over all probably the most fun I had in a long time, and yes this bike is getting in the 9s . Hopefully next time !

I was there, and watched the event, glad you stayed off the wall. Took an hour to clean up the track!!
