Hi. Yes the crank was $3,000.00 and that was a deal, as they are $3400.00 each DME bought 10 of them and I got the 11th one. It took 8 months to get.Have a chance to weight that yet. I wouln't bother over a couple ounces if that should be the case. There's probably no way to know if the weight reported for the Shark is accurate. I'd take a half pound lighter than regular composite but I have my doubts if that would be really noticeable in how the helmet feels on my head. I'm more inclined to go with a regular Shoei. I trust that brand after my crash where I took a good thump to the helmet.
I don't know if I could do that with a bike that cost that much money. I would do LSR but anything else, I don't know.
Those were awesome! That right there would be ten years of buying mods for me.
Keep it under a hundred thou and I'll buy it when you're done with it! It would be worth it. I don't see needing a new bike for the rest of my life.
Yes, especially that.
I as others have had cause , on too many occasion , to be both shocked and saddened by the way our respective countries top echelon government and military , seemingly abandon returned service men and women , when it comes to combat trauma , to provide some sort of satisfactory follow up mental debrief . As a society , we trust in and need our armed forces . We actively encourage the warrior spirit in our countries young , and when necessary , readily send them out in harms way , only to fail so many , on their return back to us . Morally , more help has to happen here and now .
Things are different now, the support and assistance is there for those who take it at least here in Canada....we have a pretty robust system to care for our vets. I was quite shocked at how many things are in place...
Hi I just ordered aluminum bolts from Prp Bolt USA, and some Ti. bolts from SAE Out Law Perf. OK any one on here. have Ti header bolts and nuts? They will go with my Inconal header from DME.
Hi I meant to say studs. I have the I have the head cover/ cam cover bolts in aluminum. Super high stress super strong steel, high stress Ti, low stress aluminum and no stress plastic. And yes there are plastic nuts and bolts on my bike
Hi, My Ti stud ads nut kit is in. I did not get them from Pro Bolt because they did not have a listing for them. They will after I give them the specs. They are M8x 1.25 over all length 45 mm, head side 15 mm, header side 25 mm .
Hi I am still looking at turbos. I do think if RCC says it is OK I am 90% sure it will be the Garrett G 42-1200c. That is the one that I picked out. A 45 frame will be to big and a 40 may be OK. If they used the Garrett 42-02 on there 1000 HP kit, then the G 42-1200c will be a little over all smaller turbo, and spool faster and will make even a little more HP.
Hi. I did not do anything to the bike today, but my daughter started a Go fund me {crazy old guy wants to go fast}
The SAE Ti suspension and engine mount bolt kit I got has the header bolts. Sounds like you got that covered with Pro-Bolt.
I was going to put plastic bolts in the trunk to fasten the tail to the frame. Right now, I don't have any bolts in there and it's not exactly loose but it should have something in there to make it fit perfectly. It's been without bolts for 6 years now though.
I agree with @Hayabusa Wannabe you should post the go find me here as we all know your not asking for anything and have been working real hard to get this bike done and will d@m it we wanna see it finished as well
Hi. I am still learning how to use a computer.

Hi. I am ready to order the turbo and the Ultra Billet Plenum from the great EX Sponsor Powerhouse. This is not easy as I have to get Powerhouse and DME and RCC to work together. To make my Double Super Ultra Turbo Kit. If you want the best and you want to go fast it will cost a lot of $ time and effort. The turbo, plenum and exhaust header about $10,400.00.I agree with @Hayabusa Wannabe you should post the go find me here as we all know your not asking for anything and have been working real hard to get this bike done and will d@m it we wanna see it finished as well
Hi I will be working on learning to do stuff like that as soon as I can.
A 850+ hp bike will never be out of date.
I'd say that's an investment for a lifetime.
Why not just call RCC and have them make what you want? What does DME have to do or is he or Frank assembling/building it for you?
HI. I am working with Frank to go through him to RCC. DME is building my Inconel header I would like to use a Garrett G 42-1200c turbo I do not think anyone has used then on a bike yet. Eric at DAS is going to do the tune and he will short neck the bike and we will also be moving the swingarm pivot up 12mm. The rest I will put together. Rick Stetson is putting the motor together, it is the first time someone put a motor together for me. I just to not know enough about a busa motor yet, I will help and learn. Ok in a funny car back in the 80s I went 6.07 sec at 221 in the 1/4 in my F 5000 lola I went 232 on the back strigh at Daytona on my ZX 1100 with 1300 kit and NOS 208. My goal at Loring is 278.6 MPH Bill Werner old record, but on a street legal bike.
