Is there anyone here with a destroyer? I'm having launch problems. I changed to lighter static springs, 4 Gr weights per lock up arm and 100 gr shims on each arm. It still bogs on the launch. 60 foot is 1.5. I'm 160 lbs with one gallon fuel in the tank. Launch is at 7500 and 9500 shift points. Thanks in advance for any help.

we race v-twins in 2 different pro classes and use Bandit clutches, so not the same as you. Just a thought though, why don't you raise the launch rpm until it blows the tire off and then go back and soften the intial hit on the clutch so you can drive through it until the speed comes up and the lock-up takes over. Then you'll need to find the balance on the shifts so it doesn't flare.
