Uh....yeah. So you find threads you have no interest in, then post in them telling everyone you have no interest in the thread that you're posting to? Sounds fulfilling. 11101000100000011000000100100011000000110000011100100101000000110100010101000101011010

Ok tough guys... 11100011100010001000100110100010100000010100010100010001001011010100100100100111000010010010101111110110100011100000010000010100001011000000101000111001011010010110100000010001000100000011001100110000100100101110010111001011

Boonman, did you ever run those Hellas with the stock stator (or see someone who was)? It'll be a while before I upgrade the stator, so whatever lights I get will be running with the stock voltage at first. I do like the look of the Hellas - for whatever reason I don't like the look of those little billet lights on a Banshee. :-)

Sounds like the LazerStars are pretty popular. I've been a little leery of the small lights, but it sounds like they're plenty bright? I just hate the stock lights at night cuz they're just barely enough to see where I'm going - especially at any speed. Those Lightforce lights look pretty sweet - expensive...but sweet.

My stock headlights just won't do it for me anymore so I'm looking into buying a pair of aftermarket lights. I'm looking for opinions from those of you who do have them. What kind do you have? Do you like them? Will they run off the stock stator? Will they burn holes through sand dunes? I've also heard good things about the 2002-on stock lights... What's the beta, Banshee Boyz??? (and girls, I know...that's just not as alliterative)

This is to all you Banshee-heads who've replaced all the stock parts on your bike. I know you've got some stock headlights and front shocks laying around and I *need* some. Shoot me an email if want to get rid of yours. [email protected] I'd alternatively be interested in a pair of aftermarket headlights as long as they'd run off of the stock stator. TIA!!

I forgot a reed cage gasket on an engine rebuild once and the piston on that side ended up looking worse than yours. It's amazing how fast the extreme lean condition caused by an air leak can damage your top end. My coolant didn't even boil - it happened so fast that the coolant didn't have time to heat up enough. Anyway, considering that only one side was damaged, I'd say that an air leak is a very likely culprit.
