Swagger,
You did not cause this response.
A buffoon did, all good!
Alright, I was going to post and appoligize if I came off the wrong way until I was called names. I re-read my own post and see where I coud have come off as being arguementative. It was never any of my intentions to start an arguement or disrespect Habenero's build thread. I offered to start a new thread out of respect. Joey welcomed the discussion or else I would have left it alone. I had the complete intention to be informative and create a good discussion as other less experienced people also read the forum. Apparently some are too sensitive and closed minded.
Teazer, I'm sure we could both learn from each other. I admit I'm new with bikes, And I mean you no disrespect either man. I have been building race engines albeit in car's not bikes along time and also am far from an amatuer at it.
To Revhead, Nobody is the end all, All knowing guru. There's always someone faster, And even the pro's learn new tricks from each other all the time. I guess it's just a crazy "theory" (In your words) of mine that reduced spring pressure, weight at the valve, and improved cam geometry is beneficial. Guess I should have included my resume before posting as you also have no clue who
I am or what my experience is. Guess we will let my post count give you the assumption I was born yesterday.
If my FACTS where incorrect at any point then please let's have an
adult discussion and show me the errors in my thinking. I am a very receptive person. I have already seen that Joey knows his stuff and at no point doubted his abilities. If you reread my post I paid him much credit to his knowledge. I would say that Habenero's build IS in very capable hands. I never once tried to discredit that or Joey... I have read several posts from Swagger and see that he also produces some awesome stuff and is an obvious asset to the forum. My intention was to shed light to the advantages that newer springs have over the torsion bars. You mentioned you didn't know why people where selling the kits.
Teazer, I welcome you to further digress your theory of these motors needing the valves to be shrouded to prevent crossflow. I didn't doubt your knowledge of this or the benefit of doing so. My point was that theres a cause and effect to any issue. In other words... If you blow a fuse, the fuse isn't the issue, there's a short in the wiring that needs fixed. To further digress on
my part I was trying to provide info that the ramp's could be profiled faster to negate alot of overlap using beehives, 5mm valves, and titanium retainers.
If I'm perceived as being too much of an asshat by this point by group concensus, I will respect who was posting here first and respectfully leave...
