In the clip you can just about make out the attachment he used to direct the exhaust onto the slick during the burnout.....Ingenious! Always loved that bike.

Why don't you solid mount the axle so you know it is square and put a slipper tesnsioner on the non-drive side?

Saves a lot of wheel-alignment arsing about.......

Blimey, that's aiming slow, I have done better than that in a crappy Doorslammer with a Tax disc..........

A few HP would be soaked up by an idler tensioner, enough to matter?

I think they make these up to 3.6 m (off the shelf):

"If you thought roller chain was your only drive option, think again. Gates new Poly Chain® GT® Carbon™ belt is part of a powerful synchronous belt drive system that outperforms roller chain in even the most demanding high-torque applications."

Roy still owns wild thing, it's hung up in his cellar apparently, him and his son Julian run the split second jet dragster now

Flat on your belly with your face so low at 200mph is probably a lot less intimidating than leaning over this at full throttle.

He is probably going to get his beard sucked into the injectors.
