How many of you lot are competing ? All being well, I will be doing the odd round, and a couple of RWYB's, all depending on work commitments. Is there a Straightliners website these days ? I had a look earlier and could only find 2013 results etc, nothing at all about 2014, infact, the site I looked on was littered with threads from spammers

Always fancied a go on the 1/4 mile. I'm seriously thinking about sticking an extended swingarm on the Bandit Streetfighter and having a go on some RWYB days. I take it there are no noise restrictions so I can run straight through pipes?

A Bandit is a decent enough tool to play on the strip without that. Certain tracks do have noise limits these days, so you may need to quieten it down a bit.

I don't mind making it quieter but a longer swingarm is essential as the current swingarm is nearly 4" shorter than standard

I rode it round my local trading estate and it was.........like a very heavy KX 500. So going to the expense of a longer swingarm is a must
