Anyone have a Trinity 686?
There're not gonna fix it anyhow if it breaks, no warranty on H/P, build it yourself and you know what you got, don't know how, hey you gotta start somewhere, paying these people for there so-called expertise at thousands of dollars at a time , not me. Sure, you have to send certain things out, but building your own ride is a whole lot more fun, Just my 2 cents.

I've never heard alot of good about Trinity...just average bikes I guess.
XR650Warrior: How does a person go about port and polishing their own bikes? Sometimes you gotta send it or get work done by other people. Also installing a rod is quite a challange if not done by a shop. I do know what you mean by having the pleasure of riding a bike you built though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

yea, you gotta send some things out, we port and polish our own 4-strokes, 2-strokes I would let someone else do though because it's a different world on porting them, have to have a flow-bench for sure, but as far as building the motor, it's a big waste paying someone to slap it together when it's not all that hard to spend time and do it right yourself, of course some people just want to write a check-put gas in it- and ride, that' fine I guess if you'r wallet is thick, I'd rather spend money on parts than labor and enjoy a home-built ride. Everyone's got a different stratigy going about things in the race world, just get it built somehow anyway and have fun.

CaptBags - There haven't been a lot of folks bragging about Trinity Raptors. There are a few fast ones for sure but they don't seem to dominate internet discussion. One guy on here had a Trinity Raptor that dyno'd waaaay less than advertised. They reportedly hog out the combustion chamber and lower the overall compression ratio. That tactic may work better on a turbo or NOS Raptor but it doesn't help a normally aspirated motor.
I went with Craycraft's signature 686 kit and was very impressed with their performance, cost, turnaround time, and customer support. Craycraft shipped me all the parts and I assembled the top end of the motor. It held together just fine and pulled HARD, I sold it to upgrade to a higher rpm 727. The signature 686 pulls hard from idle to the factory rev limiter, my new Craycraft 727 should pull just as hard for a few thousand rpm more. Due to the precision required for a high rpm build, Craycraft has the whole motor this time around.

I have only seen a couple Trinity bikes, and they were both 727's. They were very fast, but I haven't seen any of the Trinity 686's. I'm right now starting the tear down on my Raptor to send it to Craycraft for their Signiture 686. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
