Paid $2400 but came with two sets of paddles and runners, enough parts to almost build another bike and a small single axle trailer....I think I did good....

Welcome to the site and to the R addiction. Every time is see the town name Porterville I immediately think of the Spinners TT track. That place was awesome.

Ya I'm going to need to do some upgrades before we start talking drags lol it's a stock motor with bolt on's....pipe slinger, reeds, head, etc. I'm going to ride it till it needs to be gone through then take it to ESR in pismo and have them put the 330 kit on it.

There's lots more to drag racing than being fast. Bracket classes are a dial in style racing if your familiar with that. Evens the playing field for every style/speed of bike. Come check it out.
