The trick here is that an OEM carrier uses a shielded ball bearing setup that does not benefir from greasing as a tapered roller bearing setup might as you would find in a boat trailer for example. However, installing zerks on the main body of the carrier may help prevent runst and for contaminants and water out pst the seals. In answer to your question, just stick the zerks anywhere on the main carrier body that won't foul adjustability of the carrier. :thumbsup:

It's definitely interesting. It bothers me for some reason when pseudo engineering related information gets passed off as fact, especially in what I thought to be a bit of an arrogant manner, but maybe I read that wrong. If so, I appologize.

You could complicate your way to a nice set of Roll Design'ish foot pegs. :thumbsup: I am actually wuite interested in the rear brake master cylinder deal. I am gathering that you don't have access to a CNC mill though. If so I will do the design and the programming / fixtures if necessary tonight. :thumbsup:

I don't think I like any of them.

I am also looking for one these gizmo's. I will design it if you would be interested in making it? :geek:

Is there not one that will bolt up at all? Do they all need adapter brackets? I really didn't want to have to make something myself for this part.

I can also see you have no idea what you are talking about or what is in development anywhere in the outboard marine market. The E-Tech engines have not made the EPA 2007 regs. to the best of my knowledge. You are correct in stating that the four stroke engine in that PDF will need to be cleaned up, but it won't be without exhaust aftertreatment. You really can't do much with treating a two stroke engines exhaust which is why all of the two stroke over the road diesels died along time ago. The emissions regulations talked about in that PDF are certainly dumbed down for the general publics reading and beyond that they really don't say much of anything after your read it a couple of times. To further comment on the technology at hand here all of the E-Tech injection components are outdated and down on operating pressure and control fidelity by atleast 50% from the current hardware in development right now. Besides, OMC did not come up with any of that technology themselves anyway, U.S. Marine did quite some time ago. The a couple of engineer jumped ship to OMC, and they started up their own program over there as the patents had already run out on the designs and technology. While the Evinrude engine is a good one and has some many awesome features, it is already dead technology that will most likely not even make it to 2010.

The real deal is that the Evinrude ETEC is already out of date technology. No one really cares about CO at the moment even though they say they do. NOx is what is giving everyone fits. The Evinrude ETEC technology will be a dead duck by 2010 in the U.S. Maybe it will still be alive in China, but that's about it.

That little bit of length off of the shock winds up being alot across a +14" swingarm (or whatever length you have). :geek:

Word. :thumbsup:

............I have had that ridiculous amount of roosts for a couple of months now. Bigairee and I sort of got a little competitive in the casino awhile back. I believe he still has more than I do.

Comparatively to on-road applications, marine emission standards are still pretty wide open. I would be willing to bet that the Evinrude E-Tech engine will be gone before 2010.

...............you can buy those in the Anchorage, AK airport gift shop. :ermm:

I only bat .100 as a comedian. The rest of the time, most of the stuff that comes out of my mouth is reatrded amd/or offensive. :laugh:

Anyone? Someone on here has to know this? :ermm:

If I am imagining what is in his facility correctly, he may not have the capability to do that type of thing. A rear subframe, or a-arms would be cool, but so is the swingarm idea. :geek: Maybe even foot pegs. Billet cases are not any easy deal by the way. .....................I suppose I should also read the entire thread before posting. :ermm:

I agree with Brandon. The inspection technique he describes is a bare minimum. As fishy as the whole deal sort of sounds, I think you need to find a way to root the problem in actual fact. :thumbsup:

Yeah, a 14 hour drive for a $10 part and $3 beer doesn't really make much sense. :laugh:

Paint it gold, put it in a box, and someone from SoCal will buy it for a $100. :ermm:

Bansh-eman is correct in this case. :thumbsup:

You don't have a pair of calipers?

DEo you have any idea what bike the master cylinder that bolts up to the Banshee mount is from?

Nah, I think I was having a hard time articulating this subject. This is definitely a subject that you need to be able to relate to something to understand it, especially if you hade been operating under the assumption that cranking down the preload will be the solution to the problem that is created when your swingarm gets longer and you get fatter. :geek:

Word.

The beer will most likely be something from a local brewery. The beer I keep on hand at my house generally only comes in a bottle. However, if you were to run into me at the dunes, you might find some Coors Light or Keystone Light in the cooler. :biggrin:
