Any other motor specs - sure im not alone in knowing how you've got one of these ol' girls to put out like that!
Guess he's too emotional to speak.
Its 1327 cc Orient Express big block, 418 cams, 36mm RS flatslides, standard gearbox which has been back cut. Clutch is standard and i have removed the lockup and oil cooler a fair time ago for reasons i forget.
It has an airshifter, dyna 2000, green coils, Tarozzi linkage, Michelin power one rear tyre, Madjimix swingarm extended by about 5 inches, 530 chain, Vance and Hines Sidewinder with no baffle. Short ally bellmouths, and last i fiddled it was a 140 main jet. 4 plug head as standard, maybe some larger valves, probably a fair bit of porting and flow work too.
No Turbo or water, no supercharger, and no nitrous, no methanol or acetone, no nitro.
There are two reasons why it goes this well; First is, Ray and Steve Debben have messed about with it and they set it up on their dyno.
Second reason is Andy is a natural at drag racing. I guess working with Brian Johnston and the several times Funny bike world champeeen, something must have rubbed off on him. (dirty boy).
There is endess scope for improvements, 8 plugs, Unitrak head, crank work, rods, lightening, balancing, forced induction, exotic fuels, the list is never ending.
The chassis is more or less standard and i reckon it could shed about another 20 pounds without too much problem
Currently its knocking of the door of the 9.5 bike class which would piss quite a few people off
The most peculiar thing in all this for me is that with all the work that has gone into setting it up it manages to haul its massive bulk to the line using only 4 gears. No matter what the elapsed time is the terminal velocity is always without fail 136 or 137 MPH.
Hope this is of some interest.
