  1. But oh yes my freshly coated wheels. In a color I am designating volcano red. in the Sun it's hot red and orange, and in normal light it's deep rich red. much like a volcanoes "magma"
  2. Guys if ya didn't figure it out, hah. Blake is a Turn One Racing employee. He is a major apart of this build. And generally can answer most of the technical questions quicker amd mpre accurately than I can.
  3. This weekend was a busy one, spent the time working on not 1, but 3 2017 Yamaha R6. Mostly getting the bike peeped for many of the hard parts. From suspension carts and install, safety wire, harness and line routing. The details matter in making the bike perform well and crash better. Every thing we do before hand is to speed up maintenance and repair. Seconds matter in between races be it changing a tire , fork or shock springs. Making adjustments. Or repairing damage.
  4. you jelly timmy? could have just told me your concerns but we don't date... it's an open relationship
  5. Touche' but hey man you better watch that rear wheel I'm coming up fast
  6. Damn going for the jugular already, I thought we were boys
  7. Buwahaha, though possibly accurate... Blake is just jelly it isn't his bike... But correct we did get a lot done this last weekend
  8. sorry I've been out of town.. yes i have that size.. yes there free... either ryan or i can sort ya out... don't care whom lol
  9. hold on to your butts... i'm heading back out this weekend to work on the good stuff! pics and updates to commence
  10. have a few sets... located in northern Columbus... come get them, i'll double check my sizing in a bit
  11. interested... let me know Asian by the name of Tim
  12. So we have a continuity error, the crank in the first picture is for a full superbike build, lightened, balanced and cryo treated. the crank in the second is mine balanced and cryo treated according to superstock rules.
  13. it's generally difficult to type while at full mast... i'm happy to share it. Turn One Racing is doing a phenomenal job , and every time we do something else it gets me giddy i'm just glad to see others enjoying it as well
  14. i really was, it was interesting.. they are mechanically the same... well mostly.. but the front end.. the new motor characteristics, the way the ecu manages the power modes, and even its feeling of in turn stability (something no r6 has ever had) while maintaining the r6 flickability i was done... that was a stock one... then i rode a friends decently set up 17 r6... holy hell.... i was within 0.5 seconds of my best time ever at Putnam (best was 1:14.1 friends r6 1:14.6) after only 3 laps on the bike and more comfortable than ever... yeah i had to have one... this coming from a guy that felt his R6 was perfect and couldn't get any better, and would never sell it
  15. As far as my 2008 Yamaha R6 race bike. I did not go through the same rigorous build specs. Other than the motor work and tuning on it. Everything was installed by myself as bolt-on accessories. E.G. quick shifter, levers, pads, lines. A lot of just the basics even though it was well sorted. This 2017 just based on build not even Parts added that I didn't have before will be Leaps and Bounds performance and fit wise better than my 08 ever thought of being.
  16. Well you came back didn't you? That's all we have at the moment reassembly is getting ready to start Find just for Giggles a big giant box of parts
  17. AAAAAANNNNND We are back at it!!!! a long hiatus on the build for the holiday break... now time to knuckle down We need to improve performance in every aspect of our machines. Transmissions are no exception. Shimming for proper end play and under/over cutting improve engagement. An improvement on any machine but a necessity on modern Kawasakis. REM superfinish polishing can sow over 30% reduction in friction in a constant mesh gear set. This system of polishing has also been tested up to a 60% reduction in wear. Polishing the shift drum, forks and shafts along with modern shift assist systems get as close as we can to the seamless shift transmission used in MotoGP. We polish the camshafts and buckets for further reduction of negative HP.
  18. it is a very limited space event.. we shoot for 20-25 people total. i'll updateshortly
  19. we are about 80% sure on a rent Jennings trip in mid march... i'll know more soon
