To see a modern day story of determination in the Bonneville Saga visit Mike Geokan's quest for speed and follow updates on his 2007 Bullet Project.

New Dual O2 Meters

For EFi sequential injection our new RSR Dual Air Fuel Gauge displays the fuel mixture in both the front and rear cylinders separately. The gauge is housed in a hard anodized round enclosure in a standard 2" format with a 2.250" bezel, center back mount, with a 5/16" x 18 stainless socket head cap screw. The gauge will show fuel ratios from 17:1 to 12.0:1 (or richer). The gauge is visible in daylight and automatically dims for nighttime operation.

Scale is, left to right, lean to rich: three greens, three yellows, two orange and two red l.e.d.s.

The white arrow indicates the maximum power mixture, the second orange light, which is 13.2:1. Transitory enrichments should not, if the engine is warm (>200F Oil temp), go past the first red light. Readings at the far right side of the scale, the second red light, are simply too rich. Proper closed loop operation will cycle back and forth from green to orange around the center of the display.

It is simply the best way to evaluate the tune of your motorcycle and saves valuable dyno time. Mounted permanently. Waterproof.

Compatible with OEM narrowband sensors. Can be supplied with new high temperature Bosch narrowband sensors. Far right photo shows gauge in dim light conditions at maximum power setting.

There aren't any shrimps on the barbie..Sorry mate!

There still exists a place where critters will kill you and people are serious about their bikes...a place where people like Jeff Richardson toil around the clock to create art that people ride. Art that doesn't get trucked to Sturgis for park and talk sessions in comfy motorhomes. There still is such a place, and it is far, far, away. Down Under.

Newly Redesigned Harley Turbo Kits for 2007-2008

We have turbos for small motors and turbos for big motors. We have turbos for stock frames and we have turbos for custom frames. We have center mount turbos and we have left side mount turbos. We have turbos for street and we have turbos for racing. We have turbos for gasoline and we have turbos for methanol. We can run dual fuel strategies with gas and methanol at the same time. We can set the bikes up with two or three or four injectors with injectors rated up to and beyond 1600cc/minute. We have fuels pumps for 250 horsepower. We have fuel pumps for 500 horsepower and we have special pumps for alcohol. We have water injection systems for high output horsepower increases.

We have turbos with different primary tube sizes for different displacement motors. We have turbos to fit standard port cylinder heads as well as S&S SA and S&S B2 raised port, four bolt heads.

Changes for 2006 are intercoolers either twice or four times as big depending on the application. All turbos for 2006 are double ceramic bearing. All turbos are capable of way, way, past 200 horsepower. Racing turbos are rated at 600 hp.

All systems use RB Racing's proven RSR Closed Loop Fuel Injection system. Systems are programmed for 2 Bar or 3 Bar operation. All systems use our billet Boost Master Wastegates with pneumatic controls.

We are finishing up on all new instrumentation packages, the most advanced in the industry, to support our turbos. New digital displays. New Boost Gauges. Waterproof, Harley-proof. All to provide vital information.

We can provide Turbos Pods with ORCA engines in custom frames. We also provide Pro Gas systems for big displacement drag racing, speed, and dyno contest engines. We have engineered out seven new systems. One hell of a lot of work.

New ORCA Tachometers

Tachs are an essential aid to tuning, racing and shifting under race or normal riding conditions. Since the 1970's we have been racing in one form of competition or another and have always been pissed off at many of the tachometers that either were "slow", hard to read, or simply fell apart.

We've developed an analog/digital tach that addresses many of the issues we had with previous tachometers. We developed the tach for use on our ORCA motors and as part of an instrumentation package on Mike Geokan's Bonneville Bullett. 3" Diameter.

We also have ORCA GPS speedometers and odometers coming. Have to have these for Bonneville. No calibration, just put them on...0-9999 mph!.

Dual Type K Thermocouples, 3 Bar Boost display. Warning lights for oil pressure and water injection activation, all in a 6.5" x 2" billet enclosure. High memory recall, brightness and reset buttons. Switchable between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Laser cut stainless steel front panel (not shown). Coming soon. Being tested on several projects and on the Bonneville Bullett. Will be mandatory on all of our turbo kits. Other digital instrumentation is to follow..all tested in competition.

Laser cut face plate and hard anodized cnc enclosure all in a 6.5" x 2.5" package. Read more about this new product.

124 Challenge Pro Stock LSR 2-1

LSR 2-1 Pro Stock for drag racing 124 Challenge class engines. Available for either standard port (two stud) or B2 (4 bolt) cylinder heads. Special merge collector and slighly shorter primary tubes with a short racing 2.5" diameter tail or secondary. Part number is 00-1306. Parts are available in raw finish (see above) or in silver ceramic, black ceramic, ss titanium ceramic or chrome finishes. Please review our exhaust technology page as well as our LSR 2-1 Pro Stock page.

Lynchburg Harley-Davidson has been getting 138hp and 145ft/lbs of torque on 117" TC88 street motors with these exhausts.

Joe Boyd won the 2005 and the 2006 AHDRA S&S Super Stock Western Division Championship with his Challenge pipe on a 113" motor. The pipe dropped his E.T. three tenths.

Records have even been set with Baggers using our LSR 2-1 Challenge Pro Stock Pipes. Danny Arnold from Doc's Harley Davidson is getting 134 hp and 134 foot pound of torque out of his 107" Bagger and set a record in the AMRA Street Dresser Class: 11.471 @ 115.60 mph.

New 2004 to 2008 Sporster LSR 2-1's

Rubber Duckies hit the street. FXR's reincarnated in a smaller package. We have a range of new exhausts for the 2004 to 2007 rubber mounted Sportsters. Harley changed the exhaust flanges so you'll need to pick up a set of older flanges and clips for the LSR 2-1 Venturis. The Harley part numbers for these flanges and clips are: 65328-83 (exhaust ring clamp) and 65325-83A (retaining ring). Shown above is part number 00-1269 LSR 2-1 B Style 1 3/4" Turn Out in Ceramic Black. Yes, those are V-Rod brakes, Buell heads and a Softail rear wheel.

Powerplus 100 Indian Pipes

We recently prototyped four new LSR 2-1 C Style exhausts for the recently demised "Powerplus 100" Indian 45 degree V-Twin. The engines sort of shuffled the Evo deck a bit, putting the oil pump in the front and the filter where the oil pump was. Then they stuck the carb out the left side. Must have been designed using mirrors.

The chassis are quasi-Softails with a Monoshock suspension.

People had to redo these engines as the Taiwan cranks and the various USA parts didn't get made on the same blueprint. Enough have been straightened out that we are making exhausts for them. The company is gone but the name lives on in the hands of new owners. Stay tuned as they say.

To order Indian pipes contact Joe Malfa at JAM Ltd (775) 323-9035.

New RSR ECUs

RSR Fuel Injections hold the records and remain the only competition proven closed loop systems developed especially for both normally aspirated as well as forced induction Harley Davidsons. There were the first to set both 200 mph Bonneville records as well as National Pro Gas Drag Racing championships. New ECUs for 2008 maintain the technological lead and offer new features. Waterproof and Harley-proof they cannot be killed.

FXR/FXST/FLE/KR/E/FXD/XLCH/...it goes on and on. If you ever wanted to know what it means we've made a short list of the Big Twin and Sportster designations. There is some logic to it all.

New LSR 2-1 Black Hole Exhausts

The government still has the alien spacecraft tucked away but RB Racing has decided to release some of its secret technology...quiet operation and high performance in a sophisticated LSR 2-1 Black Hole design.

New Water Injection Calculator

Since 1981 we've been running water injection systems on our race bikes. Water is always a bit of a problem over the long run as it is corrosive and is difficult to meter correctly. Getting it correct requires a bit of reseach. Thankfully most of the research was done 60 years ago on WW2 piston aero engines. We've created a new RSR Water Injection Calculator to take the guesswork out of water injection.

New Professional Rake and Trail Calculator

We have produced a more sophisticated Professional Rake and Trail Calculator to allow you to enter different wheelbases as well as rear tire dimensions and different fork lengths to see what happens geometry-wise. We also have our Advanced Rake and Trail Calculator that will figure out your trail for your existing setup. Sines, Cosines, Tangents, Radians and inverse functions meet a jungle of dom tubing and dreams of the open road.

New Facility

RB Racing has moved to a larger facility for prototyping, installations and development. We outgrew our last facility that only lasted about 2 years. Increased efficiency and increased production.

New FLH/T Dresser turbos are in production with the latest RSR Closed Loop Fuel Injection. Seven new turbo designs for any frame or horsepower output have been designed, all with integrated RSR Water Injection. New solid state instrumentation is being developed to provide both racers and street riders the information they need.

Production runs of R and K series BMW turbos has begun along with new Black Hole exhausts.

131" Merch Turbo under construction. New CNC machining and sophisticated new welding and fabrication equipment and more powerful computers for solid modeling and simulations.

Bonneville Bullet

Carl Pelletier, Mike Geokan and Brian Stock with the infamous Blue Bike #226 and the new Bullett. Here it was before we had Mike alter the frame for the 139" ORCA engine. The project is nearing completion. Many new specialzed engine parts, electronic instumentation packages, data acquisition equipment and water injections systems are in place for testing in early 2008. Check out Mike's progress.

The Bonneville Bullett has a separate oil system for the turbocharger which keeps engine oil and turbo oil separate. A timer system allows the engine to be "killed" and the oil pressure to the turbo will be maintained for another programmed amount, up to 90 seconds. A separate oil reservoir has been fabricated with internal baffles to hold the special synthetic turbocharger oil. With shaft speeds of 100,000 rpm and high dollar turbochargers, oil failure is not an option.

Water Cooled cylinders on the 139" ORCA Bullett. To the right is the new 500hp intercooler that we fabbed up for the Bullet. Mike did the rubber isolated frame mounts for the cooler. The turbo discharge enters the left and exits on the right where it heads for the inlet plenum.

Special double ball bearing turbochargers are used on the 139" ORCAS and are rated in excess of 500hp.

New details on Mike Geokan's 2003/2004 132" Turbo ORCA "Bullett". See what it takes to build a 250 mph bike. Mike is retiring his Bonneville record holding #226, here graced by Salina... Miss Bonneville 2002, from The Torch Lounge in Boise, Idaho. Follow Mike in his progress with his new Bonneville Bullett project. Salina (pictured on bike) and the girls from The Torch Lounge have been active supporters of Mike in his quest for speed. It's all about the people...not the bike. Either you have mojo or you don't.

Smokey Yunick

If you want to enjoy some history we suggest you purchase the three volume set of Smokey Yunick's chronicles of his long racing career and life. There aren't may original thinkers around and most of them don't do a damn thing. Smokey was different and a genuine legend in American motorsport history. If you just happened on the scene we suggest you buy his books. It's the most entertaining and best investment you'll ever make.

Buy the books!!!!

DRAG RACING Section:

Take a tour of what it takes to build a 200mph six second Top Fuel drag racing motorcycle. Join Carl Pelletier as he puts together his pushrod rocketship from bare chassis through the 2002 AHDRA season. We have posted four movies of Carl's progress from his maiden pass with the white bodywork shown above to the first season finale where Jack Romine ran a 6.95 @ 196 mph pass on the fully-painted Competition Motorcycles Top Fueler...and other movies leading to the win in Bakersfield and the last race at Las Vegas.

2004: Bakersfield AHDRA Nationals; Carl Pelletier and crew rack up their first overall win.

2005: Death of a Top Fuel Bike. Watch the movie and see what happens when the rider gets blown off the bike at 208 mph. Cracked wrist, compressed vertebrae, road rash and one crunched Top Fuel Bike. More pictures have been posted in the Top Fuel Section.

Dance with the Devil. Steve came home alive but the Competition Motorcycle's bike didn't. Funny thing about crashes...spectators love to see crashed bikes but other riders are afraid to look at them...Superstition and fear hide in every racer. Organizers ask you to cover up the wrecked bike...Wonder why?

Steve is home, walking around after two skin grafts and a two operations on his wrist. Carl of Competition Motorcycles is back in Boise, busy building race engines, and taking the fueler apart and making an inventory of things to do.

Top Fuel 2 & Nov 2006 and 2007 Update

Watch Carl Pelletier and crew build a new high gear only Pro Fuel Bike. Steve is back in a new set of leathers after his 208 mph tumble in 2005. Four slide shows showing everything from bare frame to first track test. Las Vegas track tests proved successful.

KaBoom!!

Watch Carl and crew fix this puppy. No, the valve is not supposed to be stuck up in the roof of the inlet port.

NHRA Christmas Trees: Simulations to practice Sportsman and Pro Trees.

Driver Reaction Time Tester: Test your reaction times.

This section will be covering drag racing technology and strategy...everything from Top Fuel to bracket racing.

113/126/132/139" S&S Cycle based Special Application ORCA motors in both Turbo and high compression configurations are shipping. With S&S Special Application cylinder heads, forged RSR lightweight pistons, Bonneville record holding RSR Closed-Loop Fuel Injection systems, and up to 350hp, these are the most sophisticated pushrod dynosaurs roaming the earth. 50+ miles per gallon doesn't hurt either. Pictured above is a 113" Turbo ORCA that fits in stock and aftermarket frames.

Pictured above is a full race 139" Turbo ORCA (4 3/8" x 4 5/8") that is being assembled for Bonneville. Fully machined and balanced lower end features 8" McClure Rods with .927" Chevy pins. This motor is to be RSR Fuel Injected, turbocharged and intercooled, and will run in both low compression gasoline and in high compression methanol configurations. Street versions use finned barrels.

For Bonneville, special waterjackets are being readied (see pictures above) to prevent melt-down while under up to six mile long high boost runs that the bike will endure in up to 16 days of actual competition per year. Carl Pelletier of Competition Motorcycles is handling the specialized machining and final assembly along with Mike Geokan.

Street versions of the 132/139" Super ORCA featuring aluminum cylinders will be available for chassis that acept 1"taller engines. 132/139" Super ORCA motors are about 1" taller than stock, so they have to go in aftermarket or race frames. These are the most powerful engines you can buy. All motors feature competition proven RSR Closed Loop Fuel Injection systems.
