    Not trying to be mean but just b/c a magazine says your bike runs 9.60s stock does not mean in any way, shape, form that most(75% or more) of the street riders will even close to run that time. Even stretched/lowered. Also if you don't know what safety requirements you need to run safely at the the track then I'm almost certain you definitely have not run anywhere close to that on a track or street.

    Most tracks require a full 1 piece or 2 piece suit, gauntlet style gloves, boots that cover the ankle, and a DOT/SFI Approved helmet at the least. Some will check for functioning cutoff switch w/ safety wire. Hope this helps. Running a bike on the drag strip is a lot harder than a car. Even stretched and lowered.
    Quality Perfomance and Fabrication!!
