2400 in pay and 725 in premiums = 8700 out of your back pocket? Am I missing something, I'm sure their is other added in premiums (workmans comp insurance etc if your mechanic gets hurt and such, but an extra 5 grand worth? So if you pay an employee 2400 a month plus the 725 for doctors that adds up to 34500 that you'd pay for the mechanic and to help them with their healthcare Did you miss how I stated how the taxation process has needed to be changed for years now where you would be in a class of your own and not put into the upper class because you made an extra dollar? Maybe you'd only pay 40 percent instead of the 50% And if you did make the 200,001 and got hit at 50%, and had to pay for your mechanic and his doctor bills, you'd be about 135,000 down which would give you 65 grand in profit for the year, and you would gross 165,000 for the year.......which isnt exactly to shabby for a little small time atv shop with one mechanic.

isnt the stock main like 200-220 off the showroom floor? You should be quite a bit richer if you have pipes, a good 260 or so if you have the airbox lid still on. Did you put the crossover tube for the choke back on? Just a thought, that tube will cause you to have problems like you're stating. Is the parking brake still connected? On a fresh rebuild, it will pop and be inconsistent through the first heat cycle a little bit and wont want to go into powerband at all. When you're first getting it started, you dont want to rev it like that anyway, you gott get those rings seated.

when you pull the bottom shock bolt out shouldnt it drop down a good 3 or 4 inches more at the least until the tie rod is whats holding it up? I'm thinking the works are going to sag down a little more or just make your shee sit up higher. My tripples raised my shee up about an inch higher. I'm not understanding how they arent fitting? Or am I missing something? A picture would speak a thousand words

Basically, if your running sand, and never hitting water, run a k&N. For everything else, run a foam. I've come home from up in the coal with the blaster I used to have with a k&N and its got a long intake tract and you can see coal dust in it every time. I switched to a foam and never had it in my intake tract again. If you take a baby powder bottle, and hold it up to your k&n and squeeze, the baby powder will go through, it wont with a foam. I ride real harsh conditions and my foam filter has never failed me once, and its seen some nasty swampy mud, waterholes that were deeper than the top of my airbox, and I've only had it burble on me once, but it never died. I run through rivers doing donuts and have never had it fail, even going up a river when it was pretty high and catching a little buoyancy at times. It's fun when its hot out and you get a good creek crossing, you can hit it in 3rd and have a wave come up over you and soak you to cool down, and it cleans the shee up pretty good as well. My pro flo just repels water off of it, and I cut off the very bottom of the rubber catch piece at the bottom of the airbox so water would flow out easily. I ditched the airbox lid the day I bought it, and havent looked back since. I'll never run anything else unless I move out west to play in glamis.

here's the pics of the pipes, they are a little big, but I guess thats a good thing in the trying to sell something book......the silencers would go with any of the pipes you'd pick. Now that I look at the black ones, it shows the insides of each pipe mainly, and I think the outsides look nicer, but I'm sure they could use another blast of high temp paint. Both sets are really in good shape physically, aesthetically they could use a little bit of work I guess. Let me know if your interested. Also, if you ever need anything shipped to Australia and have found a cheap price for it on the internet that wont send it or something of the other, or dealership parts that you cant get or anything, I'd be glad to help you out and send it to you. I think I told you that a while ago, if you dont have someone to get the stuff to you, you can always hit me up. I wont charge ya anything or bump up the shipping price for you or anything

I've got a set too, Tors is removed but its missing the idle screws. What you got to trade that you think I'd be interested in? Bling is good, locknuts, blue front plastic with fenders, kickup pegs, anything good basically.

I got some fatty's with silencers I'll sell you for 325-350 shipped depending on shipping (chrome thats a little beat up, mainly on the inside of the pipes that you dont see, but the one on the outside its got a nice scratch on it), and then I have a set of painted gnarly's that I'd sell you with the silencers for 300-325. I've got pics on here somewhere of them, let me find them and I'll post them. The painted gnarly's are in great shape.

I also have a 2001 and I'm on my 2nd top end. The bottom end is still tight on it, but my top end went more quickly because I bumped the compression up quite a bit (172 lbs). I think if I kept the stock compression in it, it would have run for years and years. I beat the piss out of my engines (riding in snow, getting stuck in mud, all the good stuff), They are good reliable engine, look at the rz engines and such in the motorcycles, they put thousands of miles on them before they need to have a rebuild. If you keep everything square with the engine, dont hop it up a ton, do good maitenance and keep the jetting fat, you'll have a happy shee for years to come.

I dont expect the govt to give me healthcare. I've always paid a COMPANY out of my paycheck weekly a great amount of money to be able to go to the doctor maybe 3 times a year. I do however expect the govt to step in on all these illegitimate suing's and monopolies of the healthcare business so companies keep getting run out from under us. I've had to change healthcares 3 times now in the last 4 years because of them being bought out, or dropping the healtchare from our state because of people illegitimately suing and the govt letting them get away with it. So basically I paid a company thousands of dollars, just so they could say we cant serve you in your state because we cant afford to from people suing. How is kerry going to make it hard for us to get off the ground floor. What are these facts that you speak of? I'd be interested in seeing them from a reputable source. In clintons years more businesses were started in this country then any other years I could ever remember. A lot of it had to do with the explosion of the internet but still, it was allowed to be conducted. My fathers company who he's worked for for 25 years, up and left for a foreign country last year. I wonder why? It's 2 years for them to start effecting the country, and yes, some of that has been from clinton. The last 2 years have been horrible though. Prices of houses have dropped, vehicles have dropped, interest rates, basically the cost of everything has gone down because us middle class workers are being squeezed. And I've felt it the most in the last 2 years than any other year in the last 8 years I've been living on my own. I've said it for a long time now that their needs to be more than 3 tax brackets, but everyone that is in the govt is either at the upper end of the middle tax bracket or the lower end of the upper tax bracket and dont want to be put in their own tax bracket and pay more taxes. Not to mention Clinton finally signed in a bill that people on welfare had a limit of how many children they could have compared to how much welfare they get. People have been working the system to long where the system was initiated from the stock market crash way back when. It's not needed now. Our country is in a position where it can take care of its own with jobs and getting people on their feet, but once they get on their feet they need to take care of their own. Not continue getting welfare. But instead we're to busy being big brother to the rest of the country. We have a presence everywhere in the world with foreign diplomacy and helping feed and help countries that need it. When is it going to come to a time where we cant do it anymore and we start taking care of our homeless and such? And firemann you talk about how kerry just talks about vietnam and ketchup packets, where is george bush any better? He's the little kid of an oil empire that had his daddy and who his daddy knew get him into the coast guard bumped over thousands of others, and got like 4 deferrments of being sent over to vietnam. Not to mention all his republican string pullers have gotten all sorts of deferrments so they didnt have to go to vietnam either. They all said the Vietnam war was a good thing and they support it, but got strings pulled so they didnt have to go. That's like sitting in the stands and telling a MLB player how he should play ball. It's not like it matters anyway, we're not voting for someone that will change the country anyway, the more and more elections go by, I just see how much that people in the background run the show. And no matter who wins, the same people are going to be pulling the strings of the president and surrounding govt. All a president is nowadays is a ballpoint pen with an arm and a string attached to it.

I'm not a john kerry fan exactly but I'll answer your questions. He says he's for the working man, who knows, who cares, every candidate says they are for the working man. He denounced the war because he was a soldier that was over there and was realizing the futile effort of what we were doing over there. He realized that vietnam was basically a slaughterhouse of his comrads, and we lost that war anyway. He had enough in him to say the war was wrong, which was his beliefs, which he is entitled to. And Kerry lost your vote because of not showing up for votes in the senate among other things. Do you know that George Bush has taken more vacation than any other president up to this day? I've got one question to ask you about George Bush though. In the last 4 years, what good has he done in moving our country forward? Is healthcare any better? Is the deficit any better? Is the country any safer? Has the unemployment percentage gone down? There is only one good thing I've seen that George Bush has done, and that is to bulk our military back up. Clinton desized and for the time it was a good thing to lower the deficit, and I voted for Bush because I knew he'd pull in the reigns and slow things down some. But I never expected it to be that my children's children would be paying for stuff that is happening from my parents baby boomer generation. Kerry might be far left, but Bush has gone from modestly right to as far right as he can go. It's like comparing rotten apples to rotten oranges.....if you have to eat one, you just gotta see which one smells a little bit better man, you sound like a little rich kid throwing a temper tantrum.....I bet you have some pretty big beer muscles too dont you?

We had 60 other countries go.....yeah go ahead, we dont care.....but how many were actually fighting with us and helping us monetarily? You go ahead and feel a lot safer knowing that the terrorists over THERE are being stopped, how many cells do you think are already in this country already planning something big? Not to mention the fact that they are in the wrong country for trying to stop terrorism. Sure nothing has happened since 9/11, but I guarantee you something big is in the works. As soon as they can get their hands on something, it WILL happen. how is it better proven. The whole point of it is to catch cells when they first start forming and catching it in the butt before it evolves. To be able to cure these hereditory diseases they need to get to the initial root of the problem and change it so it doesnt happen. Using an umbilical chord is like using the arm of a cancer patient to cure cancer. Can you deny that their is a bill on george bush's desk right now that will be infringing on our freedom of speech rights?

I'm a republican that is voting for kerry. I dont think he'll make a great president, but hopefully he'll be able to do better than george bush. I'm all for the war, if it needed to be done, it needed to be done. I just wish Bush would have waited until the UN supported us on it without going it alone. That right there is a point against bush. Maybe if we got some support from other countries, my children's children might not be paying for the war because I know now, that they will be. You know that we are spending billions and billions of dollars on this war, but we havent spent even 500 million in making our country any safer. If you feel any safer with the "terror alert" colors thing, be my guest, but it aint stopping shit. Kids sit at home dying of diseases that scientists believe they have found an open door that may lead to cures of diseases like MS, parkinsons, cancer and many more. And george bush is not letting them walk through that door because of his "religious beliefs". What ever happened to separation from church and state? Stem cell research is the wave of solving many diseases and illnesses, and the controversy is over that it is a life that your killing blah blah blah. They arent even fetus's, they are a couple cells, that are being thrown away and not used as it is. Why not use them and save others and give people a chance to live? Gay marriage. I'm not for it or against it, but I believe if 2 people of the same sex want to go and get married, and want to be lifetime mates, I think they should be able to have the same type of breaks as a heterosexual couple. Let them get married, who cares, theres a war going on for crypes sakes. The bush campaign is all about creating a stupid mass of people. They are setting up the country so we no longer have to think for ourselves. Laws are being made that are taking away our freedoms, the very things our troops our over there fighting for. Yeah, Kerry may be a pussy, and he might suck as a president, who knows, I just know that our country will go in a very negative way if bush is in office for another 4 years. These things that I've just stated here should be enough to make you not want him for a president. How could you vote for someone that is for or against all these things that I've stated?

your saying the carbon fiber stuff flaked off from your powerwasher? I'd be f'ing pissed and would be throwing it in yamaha's face. Regular tank covers are 10 dollars a side from the dealer. The carbon ones are like 120 or something crazy like that.

damn...250 buy it now for the running top end. If I needed a backup top end I'd hit that up in a hurry

I've got both. I'll sell the cases for 180 The top end is off a running 2001, stock bore with good compression, the engine got a hole in the bottom case and I swapped engines out. I'll sell the top end for 325

I say it all depends on what type of riding you do. I ride woods and have fatties on my one banshee and it has a controllable hit, but I find myself clutching everywhere. Never rode pro circuits. I know the T5's I have to clutch more than the fatties in the low rpm's and they have more of a lightswitch than the fatties do. On my main shee I have LRD's and love them to death. I never have to clutch them in the woods, and they have a nice smooth powerband hit that is in a broad rpm range. I can adjust them so when I'm riding trails I can sit in that sweet spot where there is a lot of power at the blip of the throttle. When you adjust the pipe, it adjusts where the powerband starts to come on. The easiest way I've found to describe them is they have the power and torque of a 4stroke down low in the rpm's and the screaming top end of a 2 stroke. Dont get a set of pipes on "the cost of them". Choose your pipes for your riding style. It is the biggest thing you can do to your bike that will affect your riding style.

they actually do make very reliable injection systems on snowmobiles, but they arent as worried about weight, and the design allows for it more I guess. Also another note, did the rz350 have oil injection? I think thats premix as well isnt it? That would pretty much sum it up if it was.

the one area I used to ride all the time was pure mud and swamp. We have a thing every year called mudfest. By the time I get done all you can see that isnt covered in mud is my teeth....and even they are dirty. We get 4x4 trucks back there and a keg and we're good to go.

How big is that bottle? Where can you put it. I want to keep my airbox setup and would be interested in kind of keeping it stealth as possible and dont want to add a ton of weight to the front of my shee or anything.

I'll sell you the one I have for 35 bucks + shipping. I was gonna do the same thing as you with a custom cover and got it off of someone on here. The cover is completely shot and ripped but the foam and everything else is still in tact and good.

well damn.....now that you have everything I want for my shee (we must be on the same page man, its like we've been building the same shee).....only problem is I dont have any cashflow right now....saving every penny for a house right now. You selling your LRD's too? If he is, anyone thats wanting pipes, they are a killer pipe in all aspects, power and torque of a 4stroke with the screaming top end of a 2 stroke pretty much describes them How much would you sell the skidplates for? separately?

That new "locked up" R&B song they play every 5 minutes on the radio

yup......alright........I'll go as low as 399.99

How many hp do the front and rear visers add? It's got drag springs in the front, thats why its got so much rake. And the weight transfer is great on it. Reread my post and you'll see why its still sitting like that. It's a work in progress and a couple years down the road I'll show you another pic and you can tell me if you still think its ugly. My biggest decision is if I want to incorporate the upper silver paintline somehow into the paintjob still. I see two tone grey ones like that all the time, but the s-10 sport with the dualie flares came with the added paintline on the top as well. There's probably only a handful left.......I only know of one other.

It will be dropped into this: I've got better pics, but they are on imagestation. It's an 87 s-10 sport, came stock with dualie flares. It's got a stock long block 350 in it with about 40 grand on the engine. Holley dual plane intake and 750 carb. Trans is a TCI streetfighter 3 speed with a 2400 stall (anti ballooning for nitrous). And a 12 bolt eaton posi 4:10 gear rear in the back. Super Comp headers and 3" Flowmasters straight out the back, no cat. It moves pretty good and if I stomp on it it'll spin them through the gears until I let off the gas if I want to. And thats with 11 inches of tread. The guy before me had a 327 with nitrous in it that was running low 10's with it. I want to beat my dad's nova that will run high 8's.....but I need a lot of motor to do that. I was going to use a 400 engine thats in pieces that my dad bought with a race block he wanted. It's a proven 500hp 500ft/lbs torque setup normally aspirated that I was going to throw nitrous on. But this looks a lot more along the line of what I want to do. And banks says their turn key's are good for at least 100 grand on the odometer. I just threw this engine in it until I finish building the chassis and interior. It's getting a notched frame with a ladder bar setup with a shortened rear so I can throw some monster meats under it, fronts going all tubular a-arm setup. It's gonna get a whole frame off with painless wiring and the bed is going to have the fender flares mold into the body better, and for the lights it'll have little chevy symbols that'll light up. It should be pretty trick......last but not least it will be painted a dark dark dark black cherry. It'll be black until the light hits it, then way down deep in the paint you'll see the black cherry a little bit. Saw it done with a blueberry color on an impala once and it was pretty darn sweet. I'm really into the deep colors.
