Getting Up to Speed

Bill Woods and his Sodium Distortion motorcycle building buddies are not the runs of the mill hobbyists. They want to go as fast or faster than anyone ever has on a 500cc motorcycle and when they and about 175 others gather at the Bonneville Speed Flats, they get to find out who really is the fastest. When you want a bike to go fast and an engine to turn at very high RPMs, then you need to very best parts available, so Bill turned to Torque Transmission for L Series timing pulleys.
