    hi was wondering if any of you guys drag your bikes at all. im not going to use it just for drag racing just a couple of passes a month or so and was wondering what kind of mods would you guys reccommend. Its going to need a bit more oomph to take my ass down the track. i weigh about 265 and am 6'4 so im not very aerodynamic either. any reccomendations on tires too?

    what bike? Are you only going to drag race it, or you just want to see what it will do? The SSSA is very limiting when it comes to typical drag like mods to the back. There is a lot of stuff available to do that with a GSXR or comparable, but not so much on VFR.

    Pick up an old Kawasaki GPZ 1100.

    Lots of drag parts available and that beast will haul you down the track.
