Just curious how carbon fibre deals with dispursing heat.

Cheers Jim

Building a reproduction block should be acceptable in all vintage road race clubs, the repro would need to be a match original from the exterior, internal modifications are acceptable.

Progressive suspension movement is beneficial for motocrossers landing from big jumps. For road racing and the limited suspension movement this is not desirable and in fact can make matching spring an ...

I have been told the FJ1200's on the US team were 180hp reliable, 200 and you take you chances. Also that there ran better with the lower fairing removed, I guess there is a heat issue.

Maybe T-Re ...

Looking like a tight battle for the title. Taking the 3 race win with a new lap record

I prefer racing Gold Wings myself ...

Phil do you race/trackday your Wing?

The vintage race club in Ontario has been asked to consider pre 1983 water cooled machines as eligible machines, your ...

I have had long convoluted stories from potential purchasers, cash in hand usually shortens the story.

The "wheelie problem" will put lesser riders in the weeds. You can lengthen the swingarm but it will mess with the geometry and shocks. Looks like gyros are the next big adventure.

Looks like there will be a couple of vintage races added to the Canadian Superbike schedule. Opening race weekend at Calabogie, if this is a success the second would be at Mosport (CTMP)

The first ...

I don't know of any racers with a oil mat in a 4 stroke. The 2 strokes can run with just a mat and wire mesh to hold it in place. Sometimes belly pans are an impossible fit on 2 strokes, not enough ro ...

The recommendation from AHRMA is for an oil absorbent mat inside the belly pan, this needs to be secured in place, a bung or drain plug is also a good idea. Get caught in the rain and the pans fill w ...

If they are indeed 33 mm mikuni smoothbores then yes they SHOULD work. Haven't done it but it's been done. The most popular carbs (other than the $750 CR specials) come off of early 90's suzuki gsxr ...

Cool, so a completely different motor, will you lighten the 750 crank?

I am not up on all the parts you have acquired so far but wouldn't a 900 based motor work. 67.5mm pistons, 60mm de-stroked crank, same 17m rods with custom pistons, 859 vs 887 but your 900/1100 parts ...

Have you reduced the pin to crown distance in the new piston design?

Build to AHRMA rules and you should be able to race anywhere. It may not be exactly the build you want but should still get around the track well.

Looks like if Barber goes well (I don't break som ...

The older we get the faster we were, LOL.

I posted the wrong times from last season.

Todd was at 1:37.889 fastest lap, the race winner Tim Ruhl's was 1:37.825 at Mosport. Tim is he number over ...

Right now the plan is to passenger on a sidecar at Barber, if the CBX survives the season I will bring it to race.

Daytona is a week later, I haven't figured out how to convince my wife this would ...

Sounds like a good package. The tank can be switched with races, R tanks are good in VRRA. I don't think there is so much advantage with 4 piston/SS rotors vs 2 piston/cast iron rotors. Lockheed, Grim ...

I couldn't say for sure which set of rules are applied at Mid Ohio, I don't remember seeing anything close to WERA specs as a heavy weight Super Bike.
Best to call and get first hand info.

What do you plan on doing to your bike? Looks like the best starting point is a 900F.

AHRMA and WERA have similar engine displacement limits 1025cc, carb restrictions in AHRMA. There are few limi ...

The tires can also be balanced with beads.

130 is likely the max tire size, I had Metzler And you could ride to the edge of the tread on the track. Usually something started dragging, pegs or head ...

Try dropping Cruzin Image a note, maybe something he would be interested in suppling.

Next time out you should bring an accurate tire gauge. Record you base setting, after completing a session check the pressure, it should be higher. Now look at the tire wear.

I know riders that do ...

Sorry to hear this Chris, glad nothing is missing, I would consider this a happy ending.

I can't figure out how to copy off a Flicker account but these are worth a look at.

Calipers on top makes it easier to change wheels for endurance racing, it also was to help with turn in having calipers high with 18" rims. I believe braking was less effective with reduced dive ...
