It is running a J model head with a stage 3 port job, The crank is a Mark 2, The carbs are 40mm FBG Lectrons and all fuel lines are new , Cam is 112Ex and 110 In at 38 degrees. 1/2 Gallon polished fuel cell and pingle dual line petcock.

Trent 479-414-7521

I can help with the delivery, just ask, I travel.

This bike is forsale on other sights and Locally, So I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.




On Nov-06-09 at 16:56:50 PST, seller added the following information:

Ok,

I have had alot of calls and emails about the bike, Here are the answers to some of the commen questions.

The bike should have at least 220 HP easy, I dont know for sure, never dynoed!!!

You can ride it without the wheelie bars if you think you can.

It is geared and has been run in the quarter, never ran in the eighth mile, It was running low 9s and that was shiffting at 10000rpm. that is very low, most people shift this type of motor at 12000 to 12500rpms, The timing is not very aggressive as well,( The bike has been detuned) if you run some NOS or tweak the bike harder and can ride it, it should run in the 8s, The rider was about 215#s and a novice,

The bike can be run in the eighth, you are just going to have to resproket it, Go to Fast by Gast websight and you can get gearing and all other parts for these old school drag bikes, You can also see how much has been spent on this one.

This is not a beginner bike, It is a good beginner full fledge drag bike for a good rider!!!!!!! Dont be silly or you will get HURT!!!!.

Also, I have noticed alot of bidders with no feedback bidding, I know we all have to start somewhere, but please dont bid if you are not intending to pay and just like my bike, It ruins this auction for the people that are really interested in the bike and it costs me money.

IF YOU WIN AND DONT PAY, I WILL NOT DISMISS IT.

Not going to rule you out, but a call would be nice, to confirm you are really interested and intend to pay.

The reserve is real close to the buy it now and not far from the auction price today,

IF you are the winner, please pay the $250 at auction close, and we will work the rest out, I am very easy to deal with.

Thanks, and good luck, Glad there are alot of people that like the bike, I love it, but wife is going to win this one!!!!
