Really? They ain't that good even when used in the bike they were fitted to originally and for racing ? ? ? Too heavy, too many disc's and too poorly sprung / damped! There must be loads lying around unused in sheds after being swapped out for decent tackle? 2 Quote Link to comment

et1170 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Yes, can get bandit front ends fairly cheaply in UK anyway. Only being used on the strip so an improvement on the rusty 750et front end. Quote Link to comment
et1170 Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 Festival of Power, Santa Pod report. Carl had an amazing first ever event! Still learning the bike and ended up 15th of 16 in qualifying. First round of eliminations saw him up against another newcomer who red lit and handed Carl the win, he ran very close to his dial in anyway. Round 2 the same thing happened leaving Carl to race up against the lovely Busa of oss member Anna Sasiak. Carl ran another good race and Anna missed a shift. Carl found himself in the FINAL of Etbike against multi title winner Phil Pratt. Phil made no mistakes and despite only being a couple of tenths off dial in Carl had to settle for an amazing 2nd place. Made a big family contingent at trackside very proud. Winged hammers silverware!!!! 14 Quote Link to comment

et1170 Posted July 2 Author Share Posted July 2 Bit of a while since posting. Carls been learning his craft and we've done little to the bike. We are collecting parts to go much faster! Lowered and locked rear end up for the latest event and Carl inches closer to a 9 with a new pb of 10.30 at 129 mph. Watch this space for trick parts arriving. 6 Quote Link to comment
DAZ Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Great to see those numbers tumbling down , and lovely to see those colours again, back the mists of time I bought probably 12-15 bikes off Chris , always had his drag bike parked outside his office door happy memories .... Quote Link to comment
