Kawasaki KZ-based bar and slick dragbike (registered 1978 KZ1000)
1428cc KZ1000 bottom end, welded MK2 crankshaft, GPz cylinder head with flow-benched porting, epoxied port floors, cnc'd combustion chambers matched to Wiseco Pro Stock 45 degree dome pistons, custom Web Cams, titanium retainers on stainless valves and APE h-d springs, bottom neutral'ed 1-2 auto undercut trans with custom made billet 4340 shift forks. 38mm Lectron carbs, Vance and Hines PSR exhaust. Adjustable centrifugal lockup clutch. Dyna 2000 programmable ignition, Dyna shift counter, Dyna shift minder triggering autoshift... Pneumatic throttlestop and button launch controlled by Dedenbear Lightning unit. On-board HPA system( 1500 psi ) to run throttlestop, air shift and air clutch.
Made 175 RWHP on Paul Gast's dyno, on VP C25 fuel.
Bike is set up for running 8.90 index Super Comp, and Pro ET and Q16 events. Was licensed Prostar, AMAdragbike, and NHRA. Would make an excellent tool for the PBSS series, or the OSCA events... Manufacturer's Cup or SEMDRA in Valdosta, Ga., if you're looking for a bigger stage to compete.
Runs deadly consistent 8.90's on the throttlestop, runs in the 8.70's off the chain, and is incredible at the tree. It will redlight a pro tree from a shallow stage on most tracks.
1.24-1.27 60' (throttlestop)
5.55@125 1/8th
8.90@145-153 1/4
Race winner, show winner and easy to run
Looking to trade for '07+ Ninja or GSX-R 6, 750 or thou in CLEAN, CERTIFIABLE condition with paperwork, the closer to stock, the better. I raced several seasons 'Stateside, and have been on hiatus from the strip since the folding of AMAdragbike. I'd like to see this bike back in action, but know I won't be back to the strip until there's a new US series, and plan on going Top Gas or Top Sportsman when I do...
If you're looking to do some hardcore motorcycle dragracing, you'll have to go a mighty long way to find a bike like this. Must be seen to be appreciated. And ridden... Sadly, there are no test rides of any kind permissible without a significant cash deposit. Trackside assistance will be available to help get you started, if required. I am the builder, and rider, of this piece, and have every receipt ever involved with it, and can answer any tech question or provide any specification needed.
Includes Pingel 24V starter cart and many expendable spare parts. 2001 Yamaha BW-S 50 available separately.
