In The Works - Racing XR750

D&D Skunk Works - Behind the R&D Racing Door

Project: XR750
Type: Adjustable Racing Exhaust Pipes

The successor to the KR model, the XR750 dominated flat track racing from 1970 until the present. Producing 90 bhp @ 8,000 rpm.

Bascially, the XR750 makes more horsepower than the tires can handle. So the challenge is to make the bike hook up at the different consistency of tracks that the team faces.

Chris Carr Racing’s Quality Checked certified Pre-Owned Ford Team relies on D&D to design exhaust pipes for the different style of tracks. That allows Chief Mechanic, Kenny Tolbert, to tune the race bike quickly and easily.
