VOLUME 58 ISSUE 31 AUGUST 3, 2021 P101 The Chief's tune was a collab- oration between Ryan at Lloyd's Garage in North Carolina, and another Ryan who works at Toce Exhausts in Manchester, Con- necticut. "Ryan at Lloyd's was able to just make a calcula- tion for how much more fuel and timing he thought it would need for the cams, throttle body and injec- tors we put in," says Brewer. "So, it was kind of a shot in the dark, but Ryan [at Lloyds] knows so much and Toce knows so much. We also had help from OC Indian and their lead mechanic Damon York, who brought over his cam tool after work one night and installed the cams for us. With a shortage of parts due to current demand, their parts and service manager Ian Sherburn had a Stage 1 intake system and other small parts we broke in, which was a huge help." The teamed paired up with the master craftsmen at Saddleman to create the tail section, carbon- fiber belly pan, custom seat, and the part I was pretty insistent on before I raced it–the custom tank pad, so I had somewhere to lean my fat gut while under brakes and cornering. The only thing left to do now was take it to the track and see if it went as good as it looked. Rennie (right) with the attack dog that is Cameron Brewer. Brewer was not only instrumental to the build but ran the show on next to no sleep for four days while in Utah. Legend. (Top) The exhaust is a work of metallic art. (Bottom) Saddlemen came to the party with the carbon belly pan, seat unit and this beautiful pad for the tank, that helped Rennie get a bit of stability under braking. RSD bar risers completed a very minimalist rider cockpit.
