It actually appears that the same guy is selling a scond threewheeler that is just as cool. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PURE-HELL-R...1QQcmdZViewItem

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RD400-3whee...093665432QQrdZ1 I was browsing eBay this evening and came across this. One of you huys needs to buy it and let me come over and ride it. I would buy it, but I am too far into my triple project to put it on hold. :thumbsup:

You hyave to make you own ports on the intake. You need some barbed brass fittings, a drill, and a tap. There are several places to drill on the cylinders for the vacuum ports. My personal favorite is under the intake tunnels in the upper case half. You can also put them in the intake tunnels themselves, there just won't be as strong of a vacuum signal on that side of the reeds. I attached a picture of what one of the ports might look like after you installed it. :thumbsup:

Shift drum cover. :thumbsup:

I think what dajogejr was getting at is that OEM Banshee a-arms do not have removable ball joints. You can remove them, when you reassemble them, they won't stay that way for long. Your reasoning behind your methodology for using the Caps Lock key is retarded.

I think they sell those in Mexico for $20. :woot:

Uhhhhh no. If they are Cheetah powervalves you need to have a port on each intake to connect the lines to. Those lines are what provides the vacuum signal to operate the powervalves. If you don't have them hooked up then your powervalves will always stay closed. I can only imagine if your power valves were closed all the time that your bike would not have any power and only be able to rev a little past idle before falling on it's face.

This is probably a questions I should know the answer to, but I'm going to ask anyway. What is the advantage of using an aluminum tank like is pictured in this thread over using a stock tank? Is it primarily a weight issue or are there other reasons as well? :geek:

It took ya long enough see that.

Congratulations! That's awesome! When did you find out? Do you know what it's going to be yet (male, female, a little of both)? When is it going to be due? :beer:

Apparently you have to do all that twice as well.

Like I said before, I was over at Yamaha's California R&D facility recently and the magazine cover is an April fools joke. This entire episode has inspired to me to think up a plan that involves a full page ad in an ATV magazine stating that a manufacturer to be name later is giving away free quads just off the coast of California. Anyone who shows up will get a free quad as long as they don't arrive by boat. I wonder how many drownings would result from that?

Interestingly enough, I sort of crawled up ojcool's ass again in a recent thread about octane boosters and he didn't do anything near what he did in the dyno thread. Maybe we broke him? There was a Banshee over on Planet Sand with a green frame and white plastics that had a turbo on it. That's the only one I've seen pictures of. I think I may remember a thread here about Whitey's project. The Banshee fuel injection thing is sort of interesting to me. I haven't found toom any placed to read about it. It seems like one of the mechanical MRD units pops up on eBay from time to time. I would really like to see a bike running with one of those units. If it looked good that may be another project I will have to put in the que. :thumbsup:

I did say stock looking carbs, not stock carbs. I am not sure if you could make over 100hp still using stock carbs. Dave, I agree with you 100%. I am not very familiar with turbo charging two stroke engines with carbs. In fact, I think I have only ever seen one Banshee like that over on Planet Sand. I want to read about it now.............................. ::

Some states do recognize other states CPL's. There is a book written by Dave Workman that lists all the states that do that as well as a bunch of other good stuff about carrying a concealed weapon. If i don;t make someone cry at the DMV, it could very well happen while I am trying to get a CPL. If I brought the triple up to Juniper this summer you would probably have to tow me around the dunes while I make engine sounds. I doubt there is any chance the engine is going to be ready to go in a bike by then. I have come up with a couple places to work on the thing until I get a couple CNC machines installed at work. I am not sure the dyno's in the facility are going to be able to deal with a Banshee engine, they may be too big. I am not sure what I will do if that;s the case.

Apparently the BansheeHQ April fools joke for me was to see how many times I would post in a worthless thread. :ohmy:

Do you have to go through a hunter education course to get a hunting license in OR? In WA to get a concealed weapons permit you just had to fill out a form and get finger printed at the police station, you didn't have to take a class. They changed waht they were calling the permits from CWP to CPL in WA due to the fact that people were carrying other things besides pistols (swords, sawed off shotguns, collapsable rifles, and I am sure a bunch of other things). I wonder if they will make me take the class if I have a valid CPL in WA? I'll have to go look that up. :thumbsup:

Loco may be proving that he is more intelligent than me.

With regard to the PM I sent you on this topic, here is the picture I promised. You can see the small black collars on the spring seats. :thumbsup:

Don't knock the stock carbs. You can make well over 100hp with stock looking carbs. :thumbsup:

Does the DMV only let you take car of one item at a time (license, registration, etc.) like California or can you do everything at once? Is licensing a separate office from title and registration like in WA? Speaking of the bad areas of Portland, does anyone know anything about concealed weapons permits (CWP) or concealed pistol licenses (CPL) (I'm not sure what term they use in OR) in Oregon? My CPL from Washington is still valid, I never bothered getting one in CA, and I am not sure how Oregon does that sort of thing or if they do that sort of thing. :thumbsup:

I am posting in this thread only because I was dumb enough to post something in the other 5 threads on this topic. I figure I can't hate myself anymore for doing it so I might as well bat 1000.

Really.......that sucks. They used to have the male kind. Fuckers.

I agree that there are areas of the bed that can be soft. If the bed isn't a uniform color, that usually means that it's wet. As for what was said earlier about there being 1 inch of soft stuff on top of the bed, that's just 100% bs asw evident in the picture.

There are several places that sell the flush mount valve stems (there is nothing wrong with JJ&A). Google flush mount valve stems. :thumbsup:
