good question but i would say no.... an 8.90 pass is usally a 5.60 in the 1/8 mile...im assuming with an 8.60 it would be a 5.45 pass in the1/8...which means with a short wheelbase... gonna need round 140mph with a 1.400 60ft....so a few bolt on mods aint gonna do it.. its gonna take some internal stuff to produce those #'s. if that bike does that... then imagine what it would do with a 12 over arm...
Capable of that all day long with a arm..Dont think your gona be able to throw the coal to it fast enough at stock wheelbase..The new 14 is deff a nasty machine!
Vanson sidewinder, and flat pan. Get the bike on the ground and take at least two teeth out of the rear or maybe just go up on the front. And let it eat. Not gonna be easy. But I'm sure there is a jockey on here somewere that can prob do it...
I think its very obtainable . I do think to get it done you will need a flat oil pan and side winder .The bike will need to be as low as possible and geared properly.
Lets just say this. The stock wheelbase that I ran Trae with was a 1430 and it was at 56 3/4" because I didn't cut the chain so it was the original factory o'ring chain on it and I was going faster than 8.90s and I weighed over 200 suited. So you take it from there.
Exactly james......I was just curious what others thoughts were.
For the record im pretty confident and seat time and set up properly based on the criteria I listed above I "think" I can get it to go 8.60's
May need the gear that will require just a little ballast at your weight, at my weight 190 probably not a problem.
Man sure sound like fun. I've been better than 60's on a stk oem arm bike, not stk motor bike that's the shitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Chance i think 8.60's can be done but not consistantly but more rarely on perfect passes. But im very confident 8.70's on a regular basis for sure ! Your stock wheel base is set up right and i would love to throw a leg over it sir , wish you was closer.
I was at that track that night, terron is bigger then pat, and the track wasnt that good that night that was terrons first time at edgewater I think. Terron can ride
no one is going .60's at stock wheelbase on a 14 without weight up front, if they do they snuck weight up front, a 1000 has a better chance, 8.75 BMW almost did it
I guarantee its possible!!! If I had one, I would show you! Drzukem, ur 1/8th mile, 1/4 nile calculations are a little off. To go 8.60's on a bike like that, you would only need to run 5.60's in the 1/8. That bike will do low 3.0 backhalfs with somebody my siflirting with 3.00 seconds
I can't believe that I'm going to agree with you twice in one day Rich. LOL. When my son rode Chachi's 07 14 when it was stock motor, he was going 5.63 in the 1/8th and he was going 8.70s in the 1/4. 3.1 backhalfs. That bike didn't have the power the new 14r have now. And Rickey saw the 1/8th mile tickets at that times, so noone can doubt it.
Need to see if i can talk Rickey into setting up a swb 14 and knocking down that number of 8.60's
