Took my 1955 Triumph ironhead pre unit to Northern Ohio Ducati Triumph in Akron, Ohio (http://northernohioducatiandtriumph.com/) for some dyno testing in preparation for Bonneville Speed Week 2011 which starts next weekend. Learned quite a bit, it was a blast, and I would rather have a couple small parts rattle loose on the dyno than on the salt flats! Watch the rear chain, under deceleration and between gears especially it has quite a whip to it, under power straight as an arrow. The bike also pulls into a real low squat under heavy load. Keep an eye on our site for up to the minute updates on our race efforts during Bonneville Speed Week http://www.lowbrowcustoms.com

  • Thanks! Top speed was 120.9 mph, I did end up setting two land speed records at Bonneville Speed Week 2011 in the 750 c.c. class, A-VG (special construction vintage gas) and APS-VG (special construction, partially streamlined vintage gas) around 118 mph (records are set with two runs which are then averaged)
