Sorry to hear about the mishap - are you going to get KWS or the like to do any extra work on it? They build some beasts!

Sweet looking bike!! Building is half the fun.... well kinda!

Honestly Marc, it could have been worse. If we had been at Nashville on the front straight when it happened things could have ended for the worse. :up:

I bought it wrecked and it went down on the left side from the original owner... The case cover must have knicked the crank.. It ran fine in my garage all winter but the 5th lap on the track it started knocking... I figure just a bottom end rebuild will be it.. I shut it off in time before it seized... If I would have made turn 5 I would have spun up the rear, highsided and totaled the bike... I look at myself being lucky considering the circumstances.. The rear was covered in Oil...
