plastic containers slowly over time rob fuels octane rating and make the gas stale... id say after 2-3 months throw it in the weedeater or start a campfire ,id store it in a metal container out of the light and in a cool dry place

the intake isnt where your going to see the bulk of your power increases ,would a better design help and alter some power to a specific area? ..absolutely ,but the real power is going to be in other areas .a bigger intake boxed reed area isnt really needed on a banshee till you start getting into large bore stroked combinations .the velocity over volume concept works like a charm.alot of builders including myself add boysen ports but unfortunately on a banshee they have to be located on the sides of the intake wall which IMHO isnt a good direct and distanced way to feed into the lower end for the full benefit like you see on most newer designs including cubs .

heres my 2 cents : i have ported a shit ton of banshee cylinders in my day and i have jetted in probably triple that amount ....i think the toomey needles suck plain and simple . ive seen them make banshees run like shit too many times to consider them a good upgrade.they are too fat in the midrange and too lean off idle ,the length and taper doesnt work very well IMHO .their T5 and for mild motors the T6 pipes are decent well thought out exhausts though .

i have a stock stroke cub and i think your builder is full of it ... if so ,you would think the longer stroke cycling through the cylinder would cause this over a standard stroke cub.

not every builder does overrides the same ,so the ansewers will be abit subjective.in my experiance i dont see why anyone would take the entire topend off for that,just a waste of time and gaskets ...just flip it over and install through the bottom .also i dont see the need for sending out the cases other than so the builder can visually inspect everything for any repairs that may be needed .install the new springs i n the right order and the forks ride inside the internal grooved tracks of the modifed shift drum so really to me theres no issue there on location .

i will keep hush on my opinion of some other builders but in my own experiance rob at RDZ treated me right ..he said hed make me a great cheetah cub pipe that reved insane high rpms over a wider powerband than most and he did just that in my case ,they dont fit exaclty perfect like some pipes and they dont look the prettiest like some others do ,but they perform exactly as stated and yes ive owned shearers before ...and theyre sold now (not that matt shearers work is subpar ,cause its right up there top of the line stuff IMO) i say if your not happy with the portwork or quality id call him up immediatly and let your concerns be heard so he can make it right . cobwebs ... never heard of that before

like 1 hour left on auction guys ....... :cool:

auction is almost up today ...........ttt :cool:

only 1 day and 9 hours left :cool: EBAY TRANNY

ah that sucks ,i never had that problem or heard of it o n them but its(company) changed hands so many damn times now who knows . i assume you guys get that new port jetted in okay?

i have been told i have a "pretty mouth" too :biggrin:

yeah its a nice setup esepcialy if yo u decide to add a shift pro arm . ultra reliable for many years of use ,yo u ride it like a normal stock tranny and dont need the added concern of backloading the forks or anything coming apart ....just smooth shifts the way it should be having every other dog cut allows the engagement to be much easier instead of it of smacking around trying to find its location so the gear can finally grab.IMO they should have made them stock this way.JKJK is correct the machine work alone would cost about this much

cut transmission

these are best suited for fuels ~other~than just race gas and work better on bigger displacement engines if i had a ported 350 on gas ...i wouldnt waste your time
