  1. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l531/MDR38/1336678067.jpg Here is Some Draggin Plastic we painted.
  2. What motor?
  3. I must say, you have been taking a little more serious note on a few of your posts lately. LOL! To tell you the truth, I don't feel the performance Banshee industry is even close to modern day Motorsports. There's much more that can be done with motor components, but too much emphasis is being put on motors. There are many additional items that should be looked into using & we try to do some of that. The clutch tuning is one of my favorites. ATV clutching technology is easily 10-15 years behind most racing Motorsports & even more in some cases. Enough said on that, without getting Windy. Another is ignition technology & it seems to be catching up slowly. We love the features of the Dyna CDI, but it's limited. The newer Digital MSD ignitions in our race cars can do some amazing things. The MSD MC-4 motorcycle ignition is being adapted for use on 2 cylinder 2 strokes. It has most if not all the same features of the car ignitions. Fuels have become a big player in Motorsports lately. Using oxygenated race gas like Q16 can come pretty close to the power of Alky. Some people at VP will say it makes more power in certain applications. All I know is it works great for us & we were competitive with it in our 443 cub motor. One last area that's having a great impact on going faster, is tires. The American Racers are improving 60's & ETs. I still think that it's outdated technology for some of the bigger build drag bikes. I only hit on a few areas & my opinion has always been. Too many people focus too much on the motor. Nothing wrong with having the most power for a given motor combination. The problem is most can't get that power down to the ground in an efficient manner. That's where a proper ignition box tune will allow power to be taken away in certain areas to go faster; just to give an example! Like usual this is just my opinion, so member's don't get their panties in a twist. The thing about some of that is,it has been tried and not yielded better results. Not personally by me. I generally agree with that though.
  4. Air leak at the base gasket would be my guess.
  5. The main thing is what is the squish now?
  6. Mmmmm 0.150" would be loose as hell. He probably means he wants to tightened the squish by 0.015"
  7. Leerjak Off Road Ranch in Patterson, Mo. Check it out on their website. Www.leerjak.com
  8. Rebel Gears
  9. FFS send a pm. Not sponsors yet. There's a reason were not selling as sponsors yet. I'll let HMFIC know why. (Nothing to do with the $$ or site.)
  10. Any off the shelf 421 makes 100 on methanol. (Not downing your numbers on gas at all.)
  11. Ohton Racing. LMFAO.
  12. Kx250? I have the same ones. Not sure what they are. If it had the cases too I'd be interested.
  13. FFS what does this have to do with OPs bike? (I just like to use FFS since I saw it)
  14. You'll need to pressure test it to see if the base gasket is leaking,or spray carb cleaner on it while it is running and see if the rpms change. That most likely is just the leaky exhaust running down the case.
  15. I thought they were Kevlar, but didn't want to advertise because I wasn't sure.
  16. Staggered. I forgot to mention that. Only a pic of one but the other is identical obviously.
  17. I know the chassis. What's he got the turbo on now?
  18. Yea. The CP Industries head. The stock ones are hit and miss when you start cutting them (at least when trying to change the domes to blaster angle). I'd assume they would be hard with changing the squish that much too. Lots of variability in the castings.
  19. $4500 Firm. bought this new and it probably doesn't have 100 miles on it. MotoWoz long travel shocks fully adjustable front and rear. JD Performance +2 A Arms. Barker Duals KN pro flow Power Commander 3 programmer +2 or 4 Dominator adjustable axle. As you can see from the pics it hasn't been ridden much. No paint wore off on the bottom of the chassis or sides of the motor where your shoes or boots would wear it after just a short time. And the stock tires are still in great condition. I have over $2000 in the axle, A-arms, and shocks alone.
  20. I've never seen a wrist pin bearing go bad. I did have one that fell apart upon disassembly though. Did you replace those in the rebuild? Builders are bad about not suggesting new ones with new pistons. And FFS new pistons don't come with them. I always replace them. I agree it could have been one Of the rollers out Of that. And on second look at the piston it looks like some deto there, but it's usually not in the center like that.
  21. That's one way to get it done. I'd be interested to see those tires and wheels. Sounds like RDZs setup a few years ago. Did you have an air shifter and foot pegs on the swingarm? Probably not, just asking.
  22. Crank bearing would be my guess. Or did the porcelain ever crack on the plug? Could also be the crank trying to separate and the wheels rubbing the case. Especial if you had a case stud loose. That is not deto. Not to say that deto wasn't involved.
