Anyone know WL Racing
 

Does anyone here know the good folks at WL Racing (Bill Langton)? Can anyone vouch for his/their Ducati engine building skills and quality?

Keen to know more, so PM or email if you do.. jason.boswell at performgroup.com


Thanks all,

Yeah I know him.

Bill is an interesting character. Very say-it-as-it-is and colourful character. Really great fun. He surely knows his stuff as far as building race bikes (he does not like / touch road bikes I believe) and especially the pure-Corse machinery. He is an helpful resource as well when dealing with RS / Corse needs and I guess his shed would be a goldmine to most of us with the rarest of RS bits gathering dust.

That said, if your need is urgent, Bill works with race teams and customers that spend thousands on high grade machinery. So your needs are likely to be at the bottom of the pile if you don't belong to this category.
I am still waiting for an RS water pipe that he was supposed to have a lot made up. Got one made up by Jeff at GTEC in the end who really went over and beyond to sort me out.

Thanks Philippe, great feedback.

We're considering buying a race bike with a WL Racing built engine but didn't know anything about Bill. Just needed some faith in his work.

I have worked and raced with him when we ran the first 1098 in superstock. He has a very good set up

he is rebuilding my 1995 916 motor at the moment thanks to an early retirment from the main bearings.
why not give him a call and ask him for his opinion on that particular bike ?

We've been trying to call his workshop and mobile for 2 days but it goes unanswered unfortunately.

you tried mailing service@wlracing.com ? i know the lad who works up there with him hasnt been in, i spoke to him yesterday and he had a new blackberry from me after his got damaged.
