..............................did you sell it? [bump]

It als depends on how closely the shocks match your wiehgt, riding style, overall setup. Of course, you wind up having to trust the seller a bit more than normal as well.

......................a fat girl problem usually will follow the beer in a bar problem. :ermm:

I personally don't care for most of Vito's products. I think you are probably better off buying a similair product from FMF, Boyesen, or V-Force (Moto Tassinari). :thumbsup:

I grew one more question for you. What is the height difference between this cap and an OEM cap? Measuring from the top of the cap to the top surface of the top tank of the radiator is probably the best way to compare, unles you have another idea. I OD looks good to clear Fullbores unless the height winds up fouling the rear of the cap access port in the plastic. :geek:

I don't have a set of paddles to donate to that place at the moment...............

Will thay be available in custom materials as well?

If you are really interested in something cheap, then may we need to talk about my grease-draulic shock absorber. :geek:

...........................is that how you find a problem? Problems generally seem to come find me.

Janssen doesn't make an enclosed heim for a Banshee application. They do make the rubber boots for the heims though. Normally I order my heims from Aurora. :geek:

.................good advice. :thumbsup:

Jannsen sells them.

Good find. :thumbsup:

You are my favorite person of the day (yesterday). Thanks!

You need to get your self a Clymer manual with a wiring diagram and ger out the DVOM. Then you can start check for continuity between points in your wiring harness. :thumbsup:

Buying an anodized aluminum rear chain whell would make more sense would it not?

Well said. I agree. :thumbsup:

I suppose it really depends on what Harley engine we are talking about. The Sportster and B model engines with balance shafts aren't that bad. Of course there is also the V-Rod engine, but that was done by Porsche. The worst vibration-wise is the A model engine, but it is not that bad either. None of the new engine leak or do anything that Harley has a reputation for in the '80's and early '70's. I agree about the fit and finish, as well as about the marketing. I think the only real dig you can take at Harley these days is with regard to the weight of their bikes and their components, but that really all come back to the marketing thing. If your design intent is to generally project the nostalgic Harley style without any reliability issues, then why blow a bunch of your budget revinventing the wheel. If you do provide lighter parts and higher performance, it might actually hurt your sales figures. It's interesting as it is a market that is quite different than most other in the vehicle genre. Of course if you still want Harley style, in a more progressively engineered package, you can always buy a Buell. :wink:

...................they will probably wind up being fake and you might pop them. :ermm:

There is a guy on here that had a source for a Banshee kit. I think it was Liftd4r or something like that. Do a search in this forum. :thumbsup:

............I may have to argue with you regarding the engineering of Harleys, but that is something for another time. A picture of the oil leak ought to let me figure out exactly the cause and the fix for it. (I am not a Harley tech. either) :geek:

...........grippy is the technical term for that I guess? :biggrin:

..................I know someone wants to masure the OD of one of these caps when they get them? Please. Interesting though: these work great for a Banshee, but what the hell are people using these on their cars for? :ohmy:

Ahh yes, I have been there many times. So, back to some of my questions......................... Is it heavier than a stock cap? What is the diameter of the cap? Ddoes it fit and function properly on the OEM Banshee radiator?

Depending on which way my work scheduled gets screwed, I will definitely make it to one of these shows even if it is for the day.
