Best known for their market leading performance exhausts, founders Terry Vance and Byron Hines’ origins are in drag racing and race engineering tuning.
Vance & Hines’ new Raceshop Components engine parts programme leverages that heritage to present a range of high-performance options for many of the market’s most popular late model performance bikes.
“Manufactured with state-of-the-art equipment, utilising stringent quality control procedures to significantly improve all components for prolonged durability and reliability, whether building a street performance engine or a drag motor, Vance & Hines engine components are drop-in upgrades providing needed stability while reducing premature wear.
For Kawasaki’s ZX-10R engine, Raceshop high performance valves are “machined to exacting tolerances” and available for ’11-‘16 models for both intake and exhaust positions, and offered in either stainless steel or titanium.
Precision CNC-machined from a chrome coated stainless one-piece forging for higher strength and durability, the micro-polished stem means a smoother finish with less friction, resulting in improved performance. The high-grade alloy is designed to withstand high heat and maintain roundness. Multi-angle back cuts are designed to deliver enhanced flow, and the titanium valves are said to offer approximately 10 g in weight reduction compared to the OE valves, reducing valvetrain stress and allowing the engine to rev higher for more power.
Vance & Hines’ 5 mm machined valve keepers for ‘99-‘16 Hayabusa models have been precision-machined on a high-speed Swiss screw from 1144 aerospace grade steel. Designed for high-performance applications and high-tension valve springs, they are said to deliver superior performance compared to stamped OE valve keepers.
They have been heat-treated and black oxide finished for improved corrosion resistance, have tolerances of +/-.001 for precision fit and are sold as pairs or complete sets (16 pairs).
