November 11, 201114 yr Hi I was wondering if i could get some help from you guys At colledge our class is curently trying to beat the indoor land speed record on a CBR900R 1993. We have to do up the bike to go as fast as possible in 160ft inside a building, in this 160ft we will have to accelarete reach as high speed as possible and then come to a complete stop(hopefuly not making any holes through the brick work). The problems are that we do not have any money to spend on this unless we scrape a little bit together or borrow some parts, also that all modifications to the bike can be removed after and for the bike to be returned to its standard fourm. Does any body have any ideas what we could do to the bike to make it complete this challenge? Any ideas or sudgestions would be greatly apreciated. Thanks Student Bikers Speed Attempt L2

Thanks Student Bikers Speed Attempt L2 Some thoughts on inexpensive stuff from some drag racing experience: Build a set of wheelie bars 1 tooth smaller on the counter-shaft sprocket Find a road racer and get some sticky tire take-offs Suspension setups a little softer on the front rebound (more weight transfer) a little stiffer on the front compression (keep the weight back) a little softer on the rear compression and spring (again more weight transfer) a little stiffer on the rear rebound (this will keep the rear squat longer) Run the wheelbase as long as you can (this makes the bike more stable and generally helps hook-up) Push the forks all the way down in the clamps as far as you can (again more stable) Make sure the bike is plenty warmed up before the pass Here's a good place to ask a question or two and get ideas http://forums.dragbike.com/default.asp
