livinthedream Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 The motors are out and on their way to Hanshaw Racing EnginesThis is a good shot showing a few of the many changes on the new motor. The heat exchanger has been completely redesigned, and you can also see the separate cylinders from upper case half. can you fill us in to cause of the dnf at daytona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMN8TR Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 that was a little vagueProbably on purpose...sponsors and stuff ya know?They probably aren't going to come out and say "Our XXXX part from YYYY manufacturer broke in the beginning of the race." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livinthedream Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 the forum is to share exp and info and they certainly post up alot of info with their builds and promoting all the positives of triumph and aftermarket parts but dont share any negatives . most learn by experience wether it is from others or first hand.reality is that things do break and it would be nice to share from both sides of the fence. if a part failed once it will also happen to others , sooner or later.seems as though it would help others down the road who spend their money with different suppliers / manufacturers , and possibly save another a problem that could have been caught before it became an issue for the next guy.it's not all roses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while RD does show a good bit of the build stuff going on, sharing what is happening in specifics with a race component failure would most likely be a conflict of interest in sponsorship. At the very least, it would be bad form and unprofessional to do so. Had this been one of us bench guys - a guy like TRMN8TR being the perfect Triumph example - then I am sure we would have certainly shared. But given the variables of an AMA race-spec machine in a race rather unique to even the AMA schedule as Daytona, and the failure might likely be something that falls within that goofy 1% of shit that happens when racing at that level. We do the best we canto help eachother out here with as much as we can. But I wouldn't consider RD not sharing details of their problem in the 200 anything more than their own business. Just my $.02. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVTPilot Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 No worries. I know that when we do have questions you guys can answer, typically do. Just stop breaking shit, finish races, and tell Joey to get a freaking haircut! Elena Myers is jealous of his do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like our fellow AMA competitor "livinthedream" might have been looking for some info as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidersDiscount Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 The motors have arrived and things are getting back underway here at the shop. Two of the bikes have their motors back in, but the first is a little further along.The front end is coming together, with the Attack Triple Clamps, OEM forks with K-Tech internals, Scotts steering stabilizer and Renthal clip-ons in place.A Motion Pro quick turn throttle kit is going on as we speak as well.At the rear, the K-Tech shock has been installed.The second bike isn’t there yet, but it will be following shortly.
