1) Why ti rods and billet crank on a 1350 Busa class motor?
2) you do know that the Airtech "B" is designed to work with a Gen 1 and not a Gen 2?

For one reason.. it has better oiling with the straight shot oiling system and the crankshaft is not cross drilled like factory OEM cranks!!
Another is with Titanium rods you have less reciprocating weight which is ideal when your humming at redline at 12,000 RPM for 90 seconds and it provides less stress on the big end.
Another reason is.. because John can!!! its in his budget!!!!
He also wanted the same Bullet Proof parts that were used on our N/A Equipped record holding motors that went 254MPH At Bonneville, 239MPH at the 1.5 and 234MPH at the 1.0 and lastly the 217MPH 1.0 mile and 220MPH 1.5 mile Production bike !!!
All that still stand!!! Oh and the 296 MPH 1 mile and 311 MPH Blown engine I built.
Any more questions?
