RSD X BMW R18 DRAGSTER II

When we built the original R18 Dragster, the concept was to build a full blown Pro Stock chassis. But as we were launching the Roland Sands x BMW Mottorrad parts line along with the custom bike, we ended up steering towards a more streetable machine that utilized stock and modified parts along with the collaborative parts collection. In the name of simplification, we did away with the wrinkle-wall Mickey Thompson Pro Stock drag slick tire and front end which fulfilled our goals but took a bit of race flare and style away from the concept. Don’t get it wrong, the original Dragster was a hoot on the racetrack and is legit drag bike, but there’s a little extra attitude when running the Pro Stock kit. Enter Dragster#2 a BMW R18 Dragster x Concept 90 mash up with full bore Pro Stock racing steelo.

Why would You add the chain drive when You still using shaft output to drive the chain? You just add more drive train power losses.

[@RolandSandsDesign]

It was impossible to run the shaft drive and the wide rear tire. Using the stock shaft drive unit mounted to the rigid chassis driving a chain drive was the easiest way to get tire clearance. There may be some hp loss, but it works perfectly and is bullet proof. What method would you suggest using?
