Setting a street 1125R up to drag race

[DustyXB]

Two complete bike build threads and the year isn't even half over yet?!?

No offense X but I'm not sure which one I like more lol
I'll be taking my 9R down the strip this weekend, woulda been last weekend but mother nature said no (rain). Kinda weird how I haven't yet seeing how I work at a drag strip.

I was finally able to get a few moments to work on the heads this morning. The objective was to add a receiver groove for an "O-ring" seal. The "O-ring" is simple MIG wire. Since the cylinder wall thickness is thin to start with the receiver groove will be cut in the head as opposed to the cylinder. By adding the "O-ring" this will help with sealing the cylinder to the head.

Here are a few shots of the heads after they came back from Revolution.

Mating the cylinders to the heads to scribe the lines on the heads to mark where the cylinders sit.

The lines on the heads to indicate where the cylinders sit.

Making the cutting tool.....

 

[Puzzled]

Setting the head and cutting tool up to find center.

Once the head and cutting tool were set up next up was to locate where the "O-ring" groove was going to be cut. The gasket bore diameter, cylinder wall thickness, wire thickness and head gasket thickness all determined where and how deep the groove gets cut.

 

[Puzzled]

All cut.

Well I finally got my street bike motor swap finished (installed a 2010 motor in my 08, dealer installed) so now I'll get back on this project. I robbed a few pieces from the build to get the street bike on the road. I'm getting anxious to get it together.

 

[Bossanova]

You wouldn't happen to have an '08 stator and rotor laying around you want to sell?

 

[Puzzled]

LOL, no. I just installed my 08 stuff in my 2010 motor before it ever fired up.

The weather has turned to snow here in N.E. PA. so now I'll get my butt back in the garage and finish up the project drag bike.

I have come across two affordable rebuilt/salvage bikes that I'm attempting to pick at least one of them up. I'd like to have a street-drag bike to goof around with along with my street and drag bikes. This would allow me to make a few changes to the current project bike and build a little more serious drag oriented bike while not goofing with my street bike. I missed a few rides with my street bike as I didn't feel like converting it back to street use. I'm looking to avoid that.

everybody keeps saying problems with the stator problems with the stator...did i get the only 09 that is not a lemon?
For the guy that just wants to ride the street...out of all the stuff youve done what would you say is the musts mods...besides the obvious answers exhaust ecm and air clearer?

 

[Puzzled]

Heads ported, aftermarket cams, a head gasket change for a little more compression.

leads on sites for shopping?

I started working on the fairing today in an attempt to get the XBRR style cold air intake to work. I have several hours into what seems like very little work. I have to make a piece to adapt the carbon fiber to the fairing. Since I have zero expierence with fiberglass I'll make it out of tin. Metal work I can do...

This is the area I have to fill in.

 

[Puzzled]

Third version of my paper template.

Now to transfer it to metal....

It is hard to see in the pictures the size of the scoop. I have close to 18 square inches of opening.

I worked on the bike a little this morning. After cleaning the lift off which obviously had become a storage bench I was good to go. I started out with just setting the parts up and re-familiarizing myself with them. Next up was file fitting the rings. CP has me running the rings a little looser than the stock rings. I have a ring set which I have no idea where they go. I called Terry from CP and he stated they are a filler ring of sorts to go under the oil pack. The measurements didn't seem right however I'll go back out and double check. From there I'll call CP Tech tomorrow. I forgot that I have to assemble the heads also. So if I can't figure out the rings I'll start on the heads.

Looking good man those heads look awesome.
