  Intrinsic Racing

  Jan 2002 - Jan 2005

  Owner

  Custom bolt-on performance products for road racing motorcycles. The primary product was the "Intrinsic Triple", an aggressive custom triple clamp with hogged out internals the industry had never seen before due to the extensive FEA modeling to validate it's performance. It survived a crash at over 150 mph by yours truly. Fits leading motorcycles (Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Honda) and seamlessly integrated with top industry rotary steering dampeners (GPR and Scotts) for racers. The design was imitated by Kawasaki and Ducati within a year of its release. Then when we stopped production to focus on racing, other companies tried to reverse engineer and sell them. Show less
