Goose, I have to seriously endorse what MFG said... LOTS of practice on reacton time.

[mfgreen]

Note to burst anyones bubble...but reaction time has nothing to do  with the E.T. the bike will run....heck..you can sit there on a green light until you are good and ready to launch. It WILL make a difference in whether or not you win or lose a race if you are going against someone in the other lane.  The timer does'nt start till you break the beam.
So if you just want to see what it will run.....dont worry about reaction times. Consentrate on making a good launch...correct throttle and clutch. As you improve you will see the 60' times come down.

No bubbles burst syclone,
The readiness of a competitor with a good reaction and launch usually follows with a good ET barring any errors or mechanical failures.  In bracket racing, if your RT sucks you get eliminated until your "good and ready" to launch that bike right.

Sorry Sy,  should have been clearer... meant to mention that I was referring to bracket racing.  [smiley=beerchug.gif]  Somehow my mental process went from just timing to thinking the great orange one could actually beat something

There was an E.T. posted in one of the magazine articles reviewing the SE bikes for 2005. I can't remember which one it was in though. I will look back through some of my mags and see if I can find it. I don't remember what the E.T. was on the SEEG, but they said it would have been better except for tire spin.

I found one on the 04 SEEG, there was one on the 05 where they mentioned the wheel spin. I haven't found that one yet but here is a link on the stock 04.

Great Link Steve.
All what was said in that article has been confirmed on this site and more.

DJW,

I had an 03 ultra that I built up from stock to a 103 stroker with the SE 251 Cam and headwork done to it as well as a Baker 6 Speed R2.   I had to lower the front gearing to the 21 tooth from the 25 tooth to take advantage of the 6 speed.   Would I do this again no I wouldnt I would have stayed with the stock Tranny and tried to acquire 390 gearing if I were looking to race some more.   My bike was 109 hp and 117 torque.   I turned 103 - 105 miles and the time was 12.3 to 12.5.   Twice a year I bring my bikes to the local run what you brung races to have some fun at the old daytona airport on highway 17 in Deland.

That bike had the SE Air Filter, Harley Race Tuner and Rivera Pro Clutch, White Brothers E pipe with the small baffles not the Mountain Baffle.   The barnet scoprion didnt work for me and no one could get it to work right no matter the combinations of springs we used.   I hope this helps I dont have any time sheets to post since that was 2 years ago.   Since then i had put a 124" motor in that bike and converted it to chain drive.   I just sold it though to make room for my new 05 SEEG.

If you have any questions shoot me a msg.
