here is some pix.

un-straped



straped down



bracket and strap then strap over the frame...

 

nice. come back and tell us some times after you go friday. itll kinda give us an idea on the time a strap alone can take off a run

 

does the strap affect turning ability while driving on the road????? never rode one thagt was strapped

 

Looks good Ian (how do you manage to keep that bike so clean!!!?!)! Have fun on Friday! You should try to get someone to take some pics of you on the track.

 

hey Ian, dude your bike look great. i can't think of any other way to put it.. right on brother...

 

the bike stays clean with a lot of presistant cleaning.

when I straped it down I took it for a ride up the road to see how it rod.. very stiff.. and turing is not to much of a prob. but is noticeable that the straps are there..

 

As known, i'm a newb to street riding... so my question is what do the straps do for you and what are you strapping????

 

straps are usualy used on the drag strip. its used to compress the front forks so that the bike is leaning forward which helps keep that front wheel on the ground durring hard launches. which in return equates to faster 1/4 or 1/8 mile times cause you have better traction

 

ahhhh...good to know...tks

 

well I got rained out lastnight... [:@] so next friday I will be going
