Bennett's Performance

Someone posted to my pic of Bob Bennett's bike below and asked if Bennett's performace was stil around.
Yes, Bob and Eric Bennett owned Bennett's performance together, due to whatever it might be partnerships can come apart.
Eric Bennett is running Bennett's performance now on his own, and Bob is doin his own stuff as well, yet not together.

So Both Bennett's are still goin strong.

Bennets Performance

Okay, you saw the pix here of the Bennetts performance S&S bike.
Well, they ran at the Bub nationals and had some major handling problems.
The fork that they were running that would have been fine on the street yet at 120mph the bike went into a bad shake! Not a place that you want a shake, Eric said he had never felt anything like it. They have since made some changes to the frame and have installed the tried and true 39mm Showa fork.


So, they are going back to the salt next week for the World Finals, Eric said that the bike had so much power that he didnt even get it out of second gear out there and was pissed that he didnt have a chance to get the power to the salt!.
So, as all things should be inline, lets have em get that fucker up into 5th and break 200!

Tne Bennetts are at Bonneville


The Bub Motorcycle speed trials, start today, there are a ton of people out there, but I am rootin for the Bennetts to go out and BREAK 200!!!!


Here is the bike that holds the record that they are going to go break, 192.something...




and here is the S&S 50th anniversary winner with it's new bodywork, this shit is supposed to be super damn slippery.




It takes a team of people to make this shit happen.












Here he is, minus a helmet and whatnot, with his chin in the cut out tank that Dennis from Todd's Cycle did for them.





Here's the salute from Long Beach!


Good luck guys!!!!
May the Salt hold up!

Bennett's Performance - Long Beach, CA

Well, you all have read how the Bennett's did with this bike at the S&S 50th.

and on top of that this bike runs like a raped ape.
Eric was at our party and I asked him when they were going to run the bike on the dyno as they had to do some more tuning. He called me up and told me to come by, and of course I brought my camera.
This is the bike sitting on the dyno, prior to the their first run.

This is the tach on the second run.

here's the reading of the 185hp that it pulled!

Here is a scan of the actual printout!

Here is the rear wheel as its running at 7000rpm in 3rd gear, that wheel is moving just under 150 mph! and damn even with earplugs in this mother fucker is LOUD! on top of that you feel it in your gut like a fueler going by at full throttle.

Hows that sprocket?

Now, their goal was to get 185 hp out of it, and then once they do that they need to make it slippery so it can cut through the air clean and drag free. Hence the body that Eric is standing in!




Well, they want to be in the 200mph club with this bike and I bet they can do it!
Bob and Eric Bennett

Oh yeah, they swapped pipes out for true duals and lost 3hp! so thumbs up to the two into one, which Eric and I agree two into ones rule!

Good luck guys, well, it's not about luck, lets hope the salt is good enough for this bike to do it!
