NICE! specs?

im going to put my 51/54 motor in it. I figure since its way lighter than my arnada it should get some good numbers. The best time i got with that other motor is a 9.24@68 in the 1/8. so once and if when i get into the 8s, i have my wet NOS set up ready to go in it!
aloha

Sick! How many inches did you have to stretch that engine mount?!

Also, where do you get the longer cables for the rear brakes and carb, and do you do fab up the mounts yourself?

I have the pic of the stretched Silver Sym that you posted on FH saved on my computer. I'm looking for an S, so that I can do the same.

geoff
everything is fabed by myself. Mount is 7 inches added, lol not total length.
I actually was going to do my S and put that mount on it,but decided might as well do the lightest bike.

does aerodynamics become an issue? does anyone modify their bike for less drag?

tru72 · Post by **tru72** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 11:33 pm

lol i thought about being more aero... but then i looked at most drag bikes out there, not much more to do, unless i make a drag chassis which changes my body positioning to more of a lie down type. I have been wanting to do that, but for now im trying to keep it lookin like a "moped" I jus thought the "retro" look would be fun!

That looks nothing like a moped with the engine hangin out the back 7 inches.

For some reason it looks like you added a lot more than 7 inches..
Nice work!
