Just a Tirade for the ' wotsa outriga bring brigade. :lol:

Mk 3 Trans is a uprated unit , according to Hoyle . :lol:

Yeah , 21 teeth = 120 odd mph , so 30 1/2 teeth for 180 odd , or change back sprocket .
Might pay to put a high tensile axle in there too . :lol:

looking at the Kwikersaki 900 record daytona run , they flogged a BSA / Tri F-750 fairing , and ran 160 mph .
This means a worked triple on triple 30 Concentrics has more power than a Z1 , as its faster . :lol:

However , the fact its a overweight dunger & flexiflyer may confuse the issue .
Nevertheless its said the one 74 bike they built had 74 Hp & 174 MPH . :lol:
The last works trident , that is . These , bored & stroked with 32 mm carbs , produce ' More ' . :lol:

RIGHt , WHERE does that leave US , :lol: The 96 odd ZXR 1100 fairing is a dead ringer for a F-750 Norton one .
155 mph on 74 odd horsepower . Therefore ' WE ' need ' More ' than 74 HP ,however , as youve bigger pistons ,
bigger carburators , and Bigger Holes in the HEAD :lol: , there may well be ' sufficiant ' for your aims .

Daytona may well be the place to find out , or Talladega , or Bonneville though . They keep the Deer Off , as a rule .

Its obvious these young whipperschappers havd read ' tuneing for speed ' , Holey motorcycles are a renowned Tradition .
If its not fast enough , Drill Holes in it . Youve got to start somewhere . :lol:
The one rule to the exception , is theres the exeption to each rule .

Yes sir I've a box of hole saws and a case of drill bits with like half a dozen bits of each size. As for holes in my head the unnatural ones have healed over, from the outside. More than once while working on peoples skulls I've had them recoil with impression of past life's being trephined/trepanned, usually by me. I was flattered of course. Reading the Tibetan 3rd eye surgery sure had its appeal back when and still does. Hollow has its benefits you know as most the brain is just a filter blocking out the good stuff. damhik.

Photo's of holes in frame - yet to post as still adding more.

Matt, Ms Peel calc's out more like a 1500 cc torque power plant and weight will definitely be under 350 lb and have big bullet fairing, big thick solid axle and a changeable rear sprocket plus suspension tuck down below factory stance at either end. Best chance to test top end will be one of the Mile long sprint events. Going by examples Ms Peel has a chance.

At base life is just a flash in the pan so what state of mind or G forces do ya want to spend as much of it in as ya can? I'm told there's life after life by some but also that if ya do it right once is enough.

hehe Ms Peel is missing more that a bowel full of mass holes and I can take a dump too before a contest. It bites my ass that I have to put on a serious crash cage but for sure know i"m going to hit deck again so having to add back some mass and welded braces on frame. I am holding off drilling them till I see what I may want to mount on it.

Did I ever mention Ms Peels axles are 1/3 drilled out centers too?

This was originally done on the NV J. Player racers when the gearbox layshaft kept bending and g/box bearing kept breaking on their bikes, due to extra horsepower on works 750 engine hence this was their solution
