I'm in Germany over the Xmas & New Year break so hopefully I will get a suitable days weather for a crack at it everything I eed wlll be in the van
Phil:
200mph is a good target but finding somewhere to do it that is geared up with the right kit is your next problem. Straightliners run Top speed sessions at a couple of runways in the UK. They generaly run through a standing mile at all tracks and some will allow a 1.4 mile track. The timing gear is spot on and used for land speed events. As an example of how far out speedos can be I have run about 8 Hayabusas through the traps and all have indicated over 200mph on the clock only to record a true speed of between 182-189mph. My stock road bike runs through every time at 189.2 - 189.9mph on 155BHP so with the right gearing and a bit of fettling a good ZX10 should be able to get close to that.
If you're on Facebook look for straightliners and keep your eyes open for the top speed dates for next year. If anyone is interested I will post them on the forum when I get them through.
There are some noise limits though and I think 103dB is the limit but I will confirm this after the AGM in Feb 2014.

Cheers Phil, im not on facebook but will have a look. I am going down to BMW &AUDI's test section it'll only be the weather that stops me having a fair chance i think. My sat nav will be the best timing speed recording i have i do know that at 170 on my speedo the sat nav was recording 161 after that i dont know till i get there. What info do you have with custom sprocket manufactures, iv got a + 1 front with a -2 rear but an having difficulty getting a -3 with people quoting there not made by any one!
Phil:
I get my sprockets from B&C, as far as I know they also supply blanks so if they can't machine the bolt holes and center for you it would give you an option if you know someone with a mill that could do it for you.
Be interesting to see how you get on. :icon_thumright:
