After trying for the last 3 months of trying to get into the 9.xxx run i finally done it :yesnod
My bike is a 2011 R1 and current mods are -1 +2 520 conversion, GYTR slipons with a MJS mid pipe, PC5 with custom tune with ignition module and quick shifter and yesterday i went out with the front end strapped and finally got it.
not just once either but ran 5 runs in the 9.9x out of 13 runs
Normally once we run anything under a 10.000 we get kicked off until we get our ANDRA drag racing license but luckily enough i was aloud to keep running.
So now i can finally say ive cracked into the 9s.
Next step is to lower the rear end and hopefully go abit quicker.
Thanks guys. It was a great feeling to finally get under the 10s mark.
Some how that day I was getting some pretty good reaction times. They ranged from -.002 to .076.
So now I'm in the process of getting of racing license sorted and see how I go at compittion racing.
I'm also going to head back out on Wednesday night and try and improve my times a little bit more
Congrats on the 9s! I am also on the hunt! Just a quick question, im having a hard time finding a bracket for the straps as well. The link posted above doesnt work anymore, just brings me to www.tobefast.com but not to a product. Can you point me in the correct direction or tell me how you strapped yours?
It appears that the brackets are not on the website as of right now. If I remember right, they were a limited quantity...you might wanna keep checking tho
2011 . It just baffles me that noone offers a bracket for the 09-13, at least not that i can find. Ive been googleing for 2 days now and have come up with nothing lol. I know people are doing it, i just cant find out how lol.
Gotcha, ill do that. I knew i had seen them somewhere before when i was shopping a couple months ago and then everything vanished lol. Even when i called mccoys they said they didnt have any and didnt know how people were doing it lol.
You actually don't need a bracket. Order a schnitz racing strap. Then undo your top brake caliper bolts on each side, and you'll notice the strap doesn't sit flush against the caliper. Grind the strap end on each side of the strap until it sits flush, and it fits perfect . Then install the bolts into the caliper through the ends of the strap
Wow that's it huh? Lol. I appreciate it man. I've got the strap on its way and will be installing it tonight or tomorrow. Are you talking about grinding it down where it would interfere with the break like or grinding the area that it sits on the caliper? Thanks again for your help!
I didn't want to touch the caliper with a grinder. I just used the grinder on the strap ends to clear that lip on the caliper, and the clear the brake line. Then it fit great
