    Stock setup is fine to start with, pretty sure daddyracer runs low tens on a relatively stock setup, except for engine. Lol
    I have run stock, but normally drop the forks through the trees an inch or two, with ikon 11's on the rear, bump the preload to max on them and they are as good as solid.
    How much hp ya playing with??

    I have upped the compression a bit from stock and put a larger throttle body in for a start, havn't dyno'd as yet but the boys reckon 120 + hp, just trying to stop it wheel standing on the launch

    Probably easier to play with clutch method to control wheelies, it's all in the hands.
    Daddyracer will show up here eventually, he is the man, or even KrashKinkade might chime in, those boys been dragging for years.
    I found less is more on the start line with street HD's, less throttle more clutch, get 'em going and then hang on. Lol
    there are a few videos on YouTube showing local boys draggin.

    Should go good with a 120r in it Ryno, looking at high 10s as a start

    I race mine regularly. Lowered front trough trees about inch and rear springs on lowest steting. I reckon you need it soft ishish to suck up the launch. If is low it won't lift much. If its hard there's no escape for excess energy. You either spin the tyre or lift the front. Time spent on the track will figure it out.
