J-Madd

I can normally get a hold of him after a few tries, but it is getting ridiculous I agree. Maybe he's on vacation?? Hopefully nothing's wrong.

Right now, it's <1 week turnaround. If we get lots of orders, that may lengthen. I would assume these would work for the 450R. We send spacers to fit them to a Banshee, so you may have to make your own spacers to fit the 450R. I'll pm more info.

This is for the cylinders, pistons, and crank only. Cylinders have some porting, with the transfers opened up, and exhaust widened. Has ran multiple low 4.20s in 300ft with a 200 lb rider on a stock chassis. It is a running engine at the moment. The pistons have a fair amount of time on them. It was re-ringed 2 years ago, but I don't take it to many races; and it is not ran at all in the winter. I am upgrading this engine to a 421. Pics in a couple of days.

x2. A new jj&a drag axle would be near the bottom of my list of things to do.... Only after you already had porting, override, lockup, etc. If you're maxxed out on mods to your current setup, and have the funds then I'd say go for it. I run them on all of mine.

A friend of mine is able to make these struts. They are adjustable with heim joints at each end. Milled out of aluminum. We just need to know the length you need. I'd suggest measuring the length a little short, as our eye to eye measurements will be with the heims screwed all the way in. You'll still have a couple of inches or so that you can adjust them longer. $100 for a set of fronts, $75 for the rear. Here is a pic. I'll try to get more pics up later.

Very well explained. :thumbsup:

Since stock heads vary in actual combustion chamber volume, you'll probably need to check compression and squish to see where you're at. But, I think you'll be fine.

I run gas domes on my alky 421. I thought about changing domes as well, but I think I'm leavin it that way. Runs good.

Well, I'd do what he says then. :thumbsup:

You still running gas Brad? 39s are pretty big for GAS on a 4mil stock cylinder.

You may have to run higher octane to do so. I run +5 on my stocker with 150 psi on 93 octane. The rest are on alky and run +7 - +10.

A timing plate is cheap and takes less than 30 minutes to install. A programmable ignition is expensive and take 5 minutes to install. If you plan on making your own timing curves, it take a lot longer than that.

I have some chrome FMF ssts's I'd sell for $250 + shipping.

Take the stud out of the cylinder and inspect the threads.

Normally the nuts will strip out way before the studs will. I've stripped a dozen nuts on coolheads, due to the studs being a tad too short, but never damaged the stud. See if it's a stripped nut or stripped stud and go from there.

Willing to sell just the bowls?

Alky or GAs? What's the squish and compression? I start at +7 on alky on all mine.

I think that is the "new" OOF shearers. I don't know what they did to them, but there are claims they make significant power over the "old" OOF shearers also. I've got the old ones, and some RDZs. I like them both.

OOFs are cheaper, lighter, and make things easier to work on. Even if the power is identical (I don't really know), i'd go for OOFs every time.

In my experience: New Boss intake= very, very bad leak. Yamabond+Boss intake = no leak.

You have the stop. Its in the case and the kick starter spring curves around it. YOu don't need a special tool to take off the clutch. Just an impact wrench and a 32 mm socket. I leave the plates and fibers installed, then you can just press against them with your hand to keep the clutch hub from moving while loosening the nut.

You should see the 16 mils :biggrin: Yeah that's the 14mil I just sold.

You can have your stocker modded. If you can weld, you can buy the chromoly front end and tig it yourself, then just run a strut in the rear. Not as good as a true ridgid drag chassis, but much better and lighter than stock. The orange bike in my sig is a modded stocker. +24 inches out front with a +12 swinger.

I think your gonna have a very hard time finding someone else with a 610 cc Banshee engine on a stock chassis with or without a bar. I've seen one 10 mil DM on a stock chassis, and it's no longer on a stock chassis. A 4 mil Cub could smoke it all day long in 300 ft. Hard to get that much power to the ground on a stock chassis, especially with no bar.

I thought the Blaster carbs where 26mm also?? They sure look identical to the Banshee stockers, but I don't know.
