Every week me and lee buckle down once or twice a week and stay late to work on the teams race bikes. here are some pics from a few weeks ago. 
the newest incarnation of the E-5. The A-5!
tomos a55 case, puch top crank. za50 seals, motobecane variotop, puch polini kit, metra head. everything is used except bearings seals and vario. maybe we can get a new polini before race season? hopefully, as this one is most definetly on it’s last leg.
the only changes to the rest of the bike from last season will be minimal. EBR hydro forks. cr80 disk brake hub laced to gold awesome rim. so our bike will actually be able to stop this year. sebac rear shocks. trac fairing? idk what it is but lee and elliot like it alot.
you can also notice our clutch pulley in this pic. it is the mykitech clutch pulley that is about to drop on the market. we are running the stiffest red springs in it. these are super high quality and are definitely for race. 10,000 rpm engagement at minimal setting. ridiculous for sure.
and some ports. pretty cool eh?
sorry about the iphone pics. i’ll bring my camera next race night!
This engine is by far the scariest engine I’ve ever had to tune. If the jetting is to rich the bike doesn’t move. to lean? polini destruction. just right though? time travel may occur. hopefully tomorrow i can tune it up and take a vid.
…and I’ll leave you all with one of my favorite pictures from last race. get down boy, go ahead, get down.
