In Episode 9 (Part 5,) Brock installs his innovative fully adjustable Brock’s Performance Window Link and explains what items should be considered when lowering a modern streetbike.

Brock then continues on with the ‘details’ and final work required to prepare ‘Gixzilla’ for stock wheelbase drag race competition. The next time you hear from Brock, it will be from the race track, putting the knowledge and component selections for this project to the test under controlled conditions with a timing system accurate to 0.0001.
