I believe that's why they make rear chain wheel hubs that use 250R sprockets for the Banhsee. That way you don't have to have such a large chain wheel up front. :geek:

The surface plate and v-blocks will do the trick as long as the v-blocks are not homemade trurds or have been beat on like Ike beat Tina. With regard on what you can touch off, it's basically got to be a pin. However if you have some v-style feeler gauges, you could swipe one from the set and solder it to the removable portion of the stylus on the dial indicator. I know its a bit of scince project to make a tool, but if your pins don't have centers drilled in the ends of them, then you don't have much choice. .................oh yeah, and what do you mean you don't make splitting your cases an everyday occurence? I thought everyone was like BigRed and simply used it as an excuse to drink beer. :biggrin:

1.) No one is keying the pins. 2.) Checking the phase is very simple. In fact you can do it while you are trueing the crank (I know I explained how to do that to you before, Cole). You need a degree wheel ( print one out of the internert and tape/glue it to a piece of ally) which you need to index to a feature on the crankshaft (preferably thew axial center line of a pin). Then it's a simple matter of touching off a pin and rolling the crank over on its mains (snout and flange on a balancing stand or chucked in to a lathe) and subtraction the diameter of one pin. This will then give you the total degrees between pin center. 3.) If you don't know why boobs are good, I can't help you. I cannot think of any case where boobs would not help a situation.

That's homo. I'm glad it didn't try it. :biggrin:

Word. If for no other reason, Domination (to borrow a term from BigRed) pictures are always fun to see. :thumbsup:

Is it being suggested here that Vito's is keying the crank pins? If so, that is near dumbest thing I have heard this month................

I rarely endorse any aftermarket product as something that everyone absolutely has to have on their Banshee......................, but the case saver is one of them. I don't care who you are. :biggrin:

..........................and there is even more to it than that as fars fabrication and machine work goes. I also agree that it is not work the hassle if simply for the ffact that you will be constantly repairing your pipes that have cracked after every day of use. :geek:

...................I suppose this should have been said first. If you have aftermarket front brake lines, you will probably have an even harder time getting the system to bleed out. The hand vacuum pumps work well, but I cheat like Cole does, and use the vacuum source at work. :biggrin:

Tapping all of the fittings with a wrench while you are bleeding the brakes will help move the air along in the fluid. :geek:

I don't know anyone off of the top of my head, but I am sure one of the guys at work probably has a set. I'll aks around. In the mean time, I am actually home this weekend and would love to sell these to someone. PM me! :biggrin:

.......................all it costs is money and you can have jigs for whatever you want. :biggrin:

Good to hear you are back at it. I thought you had fallen off the face of the earth or somehting of the sort.

It doesn't really matter either way with this type of shock. :geek:

I generally suggest MSC Industrial Supply or if you want something special, Aurora Bearing.

Are you offering to come over and put some things together for people? If so, I need a bunch of stuff put together. :biggrin:

Any Parker Hannifin or Aeroquip distributor...................

Taper boring is a waste of time and effort. Technically most motorcycle carbs are tapered as cast (engine side of carb is smaller than air box side of carb). You really have to ask yourself what you think you are gaining by taper boring a carb............... :geek:

Word. :geek:

.......petcock is a funny word. :biggrin:

I believe that KR used to make a set of pipes for Banshees, but I only have ever seen pictures of one or two sets. It certainly was along time ago. I guess I am just not old enough to know much about such things.

Holy crap! You actually sold something!

I have a CAD model of a set of cases that I can probably make a print from. The problem is that I won't be home for a bit. Maybe someone else on here can take a tape measure to a set oof cases for you. :geek:

I was looking to spend more like $350. I don't really need the spindles.

Did you just buy those off eBay? I swear I was looking at a set that looks just like that.
