my bike is 2015 cup bike I got it new in 2015, it has about 15 sprint races on it and a probably about 10 track days, i check valves religiously and oil changes are done after every outing, the one thing i have never bother to check is the cam sprocket bolts, well the intake bolt decided to back...
well i had the bike dyno tuned by Lee's Cycle in SD, first with the Akra and now I'm running the tyga exhaust, i couldnt use the complete kit due to super sport rules, i haven't had any issues with the bike , it is pumping out a healthy 43hp at the rear, i cant remember exactly but with the...
warp head
funny enough the .004 is right on the money, i have a cup bike and when i saw the issue of the blown head gasket, i decided to go with Chad's thinner head and base gasket, at the same time i took the head to be milled, i asked the machine shop to remove .003 they called back and a...
the bike in the picture is actually my bike, i like the fit is a very solid fit, the tail section is a bit of a pain to put on, but over all they did a really good job on it.
I have used them and for track day pace they are ok, i use the rear for racing and i use a Dunlop 115 slick for the front, it is a moto 3 rear, CVMA allows it, so far the best combo i have found, the rear alpha last forever, I'm not one of the fastest in my class, but i can run consistent run...

I'm glad to hear you are coming out, I co own 2WTD so i will definitely see you there, i will have my RC there, we can for sure go out an play.
i love seeing other RC riders in my track days.
for track/racing I have been using a 115, it is a moto 3 rear Dunlop slick, and the alpha 13 150 rear, so far the best convo i have found, i have tried the RS10 and rear but it didn't work all that well, started sliding a lot at race pace, first race was ok, the second race of the day the tire...
i figure the cost of doing an oil change on it is so low, i do it often.
my bike sees track day and race duty only, if its a race weekend 4 races, i change it right after.
track day duty: i will do 2 to 3 track days on the same oil.

The bike was making close to 43hp last time it was dyno, the head was milled .004 inch...

I got pricing from them, they said $699.95 and of course they have their racer deals, not sure what that would be, if anyone needs more info contact Rick at hotbodies, ext 3
It's available for sale now, they should start getting sets by next week.
i raced my cup bike at CVMA, at first i used the alpha 13 110/150 combo, they work good and no chicken strips, the race tire does have a different profile that the street tires.
the only issue with the alpha 13 is that competing against the ninja 300 on pirellis or the bridgestone slicks is an...
