Lowered his pb from 11.11 to 10.59 at 128 mph today, well proud of him. Great riding with a hefty sidewind.

First time out in proper competition for Carl next weekend. UK etbike championship at Santa Pod.  First time as a 2 bike oldskool team.

This is Carl a while back, the engine in the bike behind him is the one he is racing next week.

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?

I'd happily take that over the OEM ET front end! haha!

+1 on what @Gixer1460said, I thought they were freely available.

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.

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!!!!

Pretty good result - 1st event, new'ish bike, and silverware at the end! The Boy dun good!

Got hold of some rs36,s from facebook marketplace, main jet holder snapped off when opened up on one carb. Not a bargain after all. People do take the piss sometimes. All cleaned and rebuilt now ready to go.

Got a spare body bud ??

No, sorry

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.

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 ....
