Engine/bike builder

[Dr675]

I will reiterate Jason Farrell and another option is Kevin Hanson's Safety First Racing, its only a few blocks from the 4&6 Shop.  Kevin is on his way to Indy right now, but Michael should be at the shop.

If you need a good honest engine builder. I can definatey do the job.
Give me a call at (920) 236-0000.

We have a great history of engine builds. Fast, reliable motors & bike setup.
CCS Midwest overall championships 3 years in a row. Proven reliability.

Lots of good choices being thrown around out there. I'm really sorry for your experiences, I really don't think they are the industry norm. Of all the names listed, the only one that I saw that I would consider an SV "specialist" would be Ben Probst. Jason does a good job, as does Valley Racing in the Chicago area. I know Matt Drucker has built some good motors as well. But I know all of them from big bike stuff. I don't believe that Safety First is doing their own engine building these days but rather contracting their work to Mark Junge of Vesrah Suzuki, who is reknowned for his work as well.

Moreover, Ben was able to pinpoint a problem in one of the bikes which several other builders missed. 

You mean when he checked to see if both carburetors were connected and not just one?

Nope that was the small problem, I wish they were all that way!. The big problem was 2 motors going boom (relatively) within hours from M.C.P., and 2 more motors going boom (relatively) from S.E. before I got my hands on them. Since then, no boom.

  Since then, no boom. 

Just poking you.....  No doubt once you got Hernan sorted out he was on a winning bike!

We can certainly do it....and yes I contract Mark Junge to build all of my motors.  Why reinvent the wheel when I've got access to one of the best builders in the U.S?

The thing I love about his stuff is its wicked fast and super reliable.

For those that feel compelled to blow up Vesrah's phone....please don't.  Mark doesn't want to do customer stuff because he's way to busy with everything he has going on and won't deal with it.

I worked out a deal with him because he does a LOT of motors for me and we've built a really good relationship over the last 7 years.

Give me a shout if you want to do something.

[LMsports]

Good point. Kevin seems the way to go if you want Marks work. Let Mark stay busy doing what he does best and let Kevin handle the logistics!

Nathan,

Last year I raced 13 races on a SV built by Ben Probst.

He also maintained it and prep it for every race.

The bike blew the field away.
(9 wins, 2 seconds and 1 third.)
Just an incredibly mean, well sorted machine.
(Ask Daddy Gu about his waiving me goodbye in the straights.....)

Ben was ALWAYS ready to help, solve problems and improve performance.
He also has the uncommon characteristic of thoroughly researching an issue before providing an easy answer.

I strongly recommend him for the job. 

Please, feel free to PM me if you want to discuss further.

Best
