  1. Came home today to a box from Tim from Stellar Machine and Performance. Stock length swinger with thicker wall tubing and added gussets added brake line stay, +2 mild arch recreational arm added brake line stay. As the shop name states, dealing with Tim was Stellar. Very fast to reply to questions and made the whole transaction fast and simple. I placed order at end of January and received today, with cross boarder shipping this guy must work like a dog with his orders. Both arms as you can see look great, all welds look solid. Will be going to powder coating soon. If your in the market for a new swinger, don't hesitate to contact Stellar Machine for your needs. Sent from my LG-H873 using Tapatalk

  5. I've started playing around with port work myself. First with a dremel until I found out that the transfers could not be done without a 90* head. Dremel Makes a 90* head but it to large to get in the cylinder and cut with any accuracy. I purchased A complete kit From CC Specialty Tool and they made all the difference in the world. With these tools you can cut slower keeping the metal from hardening and make the chances of taking out to much metal almost non exhistant. I then purchased a good set of cylinders off Ebay and just started slow,making a few changes at a time. Puting it together and running it and then taking it back apart and making a few more changes. until it ran as good at I thought it would run. Those same cylinders are now on my wifes bike and they are beating trinity, and who knows who elses motors. they're not to happy and willing to share that information once my wifes bike beats them. and once they ask me who did the port work and I say I did they look at me like I'm lying to them and leave. I also Found it to be very helpfull if you call the manufacture of your pipes and ask them for the recommended port timing on your cylinders. Cpi was very helpful and eager to tell me what I hould set them at. I then Purchased A degree wheel marked the cylinders and started grinding. For someone who is thinking of trying there own port work I say go for it there is no better feeling than being the fastest bike at the hills somedays and knowing that you built the motor completly by yourself including the port work.

  6. LRDBlaster, you couldn't be more wrong. You can easily get 5 hp by just "cleaning up" the terrible casting that yamaha does on the BANSHEE jugs. Every set of stock jugs I have had the pleasure of taking a look inside had the sleeves misaligned, high seams everywhere, nuggets of aluminum hanging down into the passages, and every other manner of bad workmanship. The power you can get out of correcting these problems is astonishing and anyone with any knowledge of how a two stroke works can EASILY perform this mod. This will not affect the motor negitively in any way. It will give you virtually FREE horsepower.(minus the grinding bits) If you buy a banshee that is stock, this is one of the first things you should do to your motor. If you need more power, get a port kit. You can easily get 15 hp out of the sportport, without even messing with the transfers. If you are into being able to say that the engine you have was ported by "dan, mike, joe or suzy", get it done at a shop. As for me, I can claim that I did the work. Win lose or draw, it's my baby. You will gain so much knowledge by doing your own porting it will blow your mind. Never again will you pay someone to work on your "Baby". DIY, then charge all your riding buddys $200 to port theirs. You know they will want to keep up with you after you smoke em'
