I can't speak for anyone else, but I am flaming you because you are "flaming." The use of this all stems from the fact that you were put on earth for our own personal amusement.

The reason it makes me sad, it that you're half right and half wrong with each statement that you made. For instance, the upper A-Arm can keep the tire straight, but it does that through a matrix of four intersecting arcs. Which means that depending on the design, the upper A-Arm can make the tire do whatever you want. The mini-quads that I have seen, move their tires in an arc whose axis is about the inboard suspension mounting point. This isn't a weak design necessarliy, but it can be a poor design as with very short lower arms, the acceptable range of camber gain and loss is very small (about 1"-2"). To comment on somebody else's opinion that a Chapman strut suspension cannot be high performance or long travel, this is simply not true. An example would be a SCORE buggy with a Chapman or trailing arm suspension, but yet mysteriously do not have an overly large strut or shock. These cars have between 12"-18" of travel and handle very high G (up to 10 G's) bump loading.

As an automotive engineer, that explanation just makes me sad.

A Mcpherson or Chapman strut can accomplish the same thing (i.e. some Polaris quads and various cars). However there aren't many designs out there that performs as well as a dual, unequal length A-Arm suspension.

I always have a camera with me when I go riding. P.S. Girls only want guys who have great skills. I am pretty good with the bow staff.

I have also been looking at those plastics. $380 to the door is awesome. I added up what they wanted off their website and it seemed like it was going to be alot more. I also have yet to see a set in person. Try and make the pictures big, screw dial up.

Maybe we could get a team together to beat you like the fuck stick that you are.

I have had the same problem on all of my Banshee's. It has always been that I haven't correctly assembled the headlight switch. Good Luck!

I want a yellow race face with a mesh grill and a yellow rear.

They never have the color I want on eBay. Nor, do the Fullbore sets sell for anything below retail prices unless they are used.

Thanks for the info. That is the type of stuff i was curious about.

Where is the best place to buy Fulbore plastic? I have heard buying blems straight from the manufacturer is best or Razorback. Does anyone have any other input?

How about I just buy them? How much you want for them?

http://modquad.com/store/images/Products/KN_1_3_5in.jpg Does anyone know how these mount or have any pictures of these mounted?

You have thoroughly answered my question. For some reason the ModQuad banner doesn't come up at home fore me, only at work.

That would be my guess. It's happened to me numerous times on numerous bikes. Why anybody thinks its a good idea to make thermoplastic impellers I'll never know.

I could use a ModQuad coupon. I have a big order and I am a cheap bastard. If anyone nows where to find them or has any extra laying around, it would be much appreciated.

Brooke told me about that site quite awhile ago. The butt sex thing is by far one of the funniest things on there.

............and more from me. You might be a Redneck if................. You can ruin a pair of shoes in one wearing. Nothing in your refrigerator was purchased at a store. You bum a dip from your mother. You're using the "Twister" mat as the shower curtain. You have ever ordered a bucket of skin from KFC. You have ever watched the Daytona 500 naked. You clean your garage and realize that you did not sell your Banshee. Your favorite adult beverage doubles as gas for your car. You inherited a toilet plunger. You buy stuff at your own yard sale, You have ever had your nipple bitten off by a beaver. You use the bathroom plunger every day. .........and I'll come up with more tomorrow.

You might be a Redneck if: You go te see your grandmother and she tells you shes pregnant. You call your boss "dude". Your class reunion is a keg party in the woods. The seats on your front porch used to be the seats in your car.

Exactly.... Thats how I was brought up. However, it's whisker bisquits like the guy that started this thread that give hunters a bad name.

It's not that the dyno you were on is outdated just because of it being an inertia type, its out dated because I recognize the software that made your dyno sheet. You can buy a brand new inertia dyno today, if you wanted to, and all that you are going to do is tune on it. Though maybe you should worry less about your bike and more about buying a a toaster or something since you just got electricity.

Here's the deal, it may be a very nice inertia dyno, but it's instrumentation package is very old, which is why I called it a POS. Inertia dynos in general are not very accurate and are used more for tuning than benchmarking power. An inertia dyno basically measures how long it takes for a flywheel to reach a certain speed and then extrapolates hp and torque from that time given the known weight of the flywheel. With that said, water or oil brake impeller type dynos are where its at due to thei ability to read much more accurately, react to atmospheric deviance, and vary the load on the dyno specimen. In addition, they usually come better instrumented. There is a third kind of dyno out there that you will see, known as a mechanical brake dyno, this is like a water or oil brake dyno except is usec a large disc brake pack to load the specimen. You can see where this type of dyno goes wrong, but oncae again you could certainly tune on this type of dyno. If you live anywhere near WA, you can come roll on my work's dyno whenever you want.
