R-D are WEB Beehives....they work///// if shimmed correctly....





Any spring needs to be shimmed correctly


they are VERY unforgiving if shimmed on the tall side of their spec.... the beehive springs were spec'ed for STOCK valve size and weight as per WEB...

They sponsored me and i did nothing for them this yr. Kenny really needs to call people back ive been trying to get intouch with him for over a month and his not responding. I know hes a good guy and builds good shit but i need a phone call back and see where the hell my head is. If any1 can help i appreciate it. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your trouble with Kenny but with all do respect, you should have begged, borrowed or stole another head and hit the track.
When we were racing sprint type cars I spent a ton of my time at car and trade shows, store openings, writing and sending out press releases, it was endless. If you have good (cash on the table) sponsors your doing everyone a disservice by not treating them right.

I was expecting a response to my post

No, I realise it's not insaneraptor700 fault and that's a shame. Unfortunately, sponsors are more interested in results not excuses and that's the straight truth of the matter. If they're happy with him and say "just run out name nxt yr when the bike is done", then that's great.

The thread title is Kenny at KDS still has my head, what would you do if it was you?
If I had good sponsors supporting my racing efforts with product and cash I'd have "begged, borrowed or stole another head and hit the track".

Perhaps I was a little too blunt with my comments. The point I was trying to impress upon and one I'm speaking with from lots and lots of experience with motorsport sponsorship is you need to fullfill your commitments to them. If you leave a bad taste in their mouths, they become very reluctant to help the next guy looking for support.

Please accept my apologies if I pissed off anyone with my comments.
