At this point, I'm leaning towards the BUB event as it is ONLY motorcycles and motorcycle streamliners.

I'll be in Bonneville August 10-16th for the SCTA event.  Plan accordingly.  waytogo

Also, I managed to score some 45mm clip-ons for the GSXR600 front-end.  When they arrive, pics will be posted w/me on the bike to determine maximum aerodynamic effeciency.  (Or as close as I can get...)

Cool.  Per our previously discussed arrangement, you can ride the bike...

As far as the rear shock goes, I'm probably in the shock height range of a Suzuki TL1000R (but w/o the rotary damper crap).  I'm leaning towards a Hagon as they're good quality and ~$400-$450 new.

Suzuki TLR shocks are 9.38" eye-to-eye and are direct acting which is what I have on my chassis now (no suspension link).

Quentin is good people. I will vouch for him. He stayed with us at Ouray and he only tried to steal my virginity 3 or 4 times.
