If you know how to weld real good you can weld it back on. If its not leaking just take a dremel to it and clean it up a little bit and call it good. Maybe try jb weld or epoxy before welding. I had a warrior with a busted case and epoxy filled the cracked out hole for 3 years before I ditched that thing.

The drugs... the drugs don't affect affect affect me at all, I don't know what you are talking about.

That's why I have a tent. What are they gonna jack, my sleeping bag? LOL Sorry to hear it man.

We can do pretty much anything anyone needs. We have done gears for things from starter gears for a honda all the way up to main drive chain gears for drilling rigs (about 4ft dia) he he The smallest gear we have done is on display in our shop and it is 1/8" thick and around a half-inch across. Little tiny bastard. The little notch is done on a mill. Takes like maybe 30sec.

That's what I like about the stuff I do. Not many people can hand-make parts for their banshees like this. Its one of the many things I like to think make mine totally different than the millions of others out there. I've made a LOT of parts for my banshee by hand. My next adventure to tackle is home-made straight-cut gears. We have the ability to make some really strong gears at work and the next time I have an afternoon off I am going to start doing some calculations and see if I want a custom ratio...

ROFL Wow.

You gotta do them by hand to get the real touch! It took a little bit of time to get them cleaned up. Do you get a lot of feed lines on the CNC? I was running at 1970rpm when I was smoothing my feed lines. That little electric lathe was a humming away. I wear a face shield and just get down really close to my tool so I can really see whats going on. I never cared much for the computer controlled stuff, I'm kinda old-school. There's a lot going on in your head when the air/fuel mixture fires. I would not want any kind of disturbance in the gasses expanding in the chamber. Smooth is def. a better way to go. Most of the parts & crap I make I do just for me. I do all my own work on my bike with the exception of porting, and I've even done some of my own port work and think I'm going to get back into it. I like to run my poor beat up shee against some of the stuff I find from big name builders to see how my work compares. Problem is that I can never find any of the big-name builders stuff out around where I live. I have one friend with a F.A.S.T. shee but we never have time to meet up for a comparison. If there were a way for me to mass-produce any of the stuff I do to my bike I might consider selling some, but since everything is done by hand 1 at a time, its just not worth my time or troubles to try and make enough to sell to turn a profit. Sorry. Sometimes I will do work on other peoples bikes if they are close by, but that's only if time permits. I'm busy busy all the time and probably wouldn't even try and take on another build any time soon. Just no time. Don't let the pictures fool you, there are some imperfections in there. I had one intersecting line that I just couldn't get rid of for the life of me. There are some feed lines on the back of the domes from where I was taking huge cuts to remove the material, but I figure they will help with heat transfer to the coolant. Ha Ha

Some day science will find a cure for what you have.

I don't think you are, its just that most people around here spend so much on their banshees they just can't afford it. Ha Ha! I would love to have something like that, wish I could afford it man.

I work in a machine shop and do this sort of thing all day long. The hardest part of all it is the squish band. I have a book that lists the numbers, angles, etc that you need for different stuff. This is my first set of home-made domes so we will see how they run. Should bump compression up another 10-15lbs from where I was at. Really not that hard. Its a little tiny eletrical driven lathe I was using. I work on a HUGE lathe during the day machining new threads in drill pipe for natural gas drilling rigs. I work on pipe that weighs thousands of pounds. Going to the little eletric guy with aluminum was a nice change.

I think the lowest we were EVER able to pull-start a banshee at and actually ride it was around 75-80lbs in each cylinder. That was at 8800ft with stock head and it had a dead top end. If you pulled it and could get it to fire up it would run though. Just no power at all. LOL Try a different tester!!

Try heating it up with a torch then use the easy out. If that doesn't work then drill it. You could always just over-drill it and tap some new threads in there for a bigger bolt next time. Put some anti-seize on there this time or some blue loctite.

Got sick of trying to find someone who made a set of domes smaller than 16cc for a good price and no one had any so I said screw it and made my own. Took some block billet fromt he shop and started choppin away. Didn't think to take any pics until I was almost done. Here's a few. Plus its nice to machine them to the exact deck height you need. he he.

You are an ignorant fool. What about all the civilians who have nothing to do with anything going on in their country, you propose to just "demolish" them? Moron. I totally agree with you. That shit might have affected me, had I lived a couple thousand years ago. I live in TODAY's times and none of that bible crap affects me at all, so I could give two shits and a fuck less about some hoochie-nanny's god. If you need a "god" to lead your life you have a weak mind. I don't let anyone or anything govern my life or guide my decisions other than me, myself and I. What about all the BILLIONS of asians who don't beieve in any of that shit? Will they all just go burn in hell because they don't worship some dude in a robe who needs a shave and a good whore for a night? They believe you will all be re-incarnated as lower beings since you didn't fulfil your journey this time around. Who's to say that all of you won't come back as a damn weed? LOL Here's a fun one... Read some of them and it makes you go... were these guys taking hits from their biblical hooka or what? http://www.ubersite.com/m/54310

I never ran either of them with the engine I have now, so not sure how they hold up to power. Jeff's clutch is basically just streetbike fibers and the steels are really similar to the tusk kit. I run FZR fibers and steels from the tusk kit.

Your voltage regulator probably went bad. Replace it and you should be good to go. Also, do you have the rubber piece betweent he mount and and actual light housing. If not the vibrations could be making them burn out.

I just dynoed my stock cylinder setup at 260hp so I think you are doing something wrong. ::

My insurance is the gun at my side. Ha Ha, kidding, I have mine covered for theft / personal damage / collisions. Oh yeah, and I will shoot you if I catch you trying anything. No joke. I will shoot your ass and ask questions later. hehe

Blah Blah Blah the world is going to end, second comming of jesus, blah blah blah. I will believe it all when I'm standing at the gates of heaven and they tell me to fuck off because I didn't believe in them. As for the end of the world, I aint skeered.

We are going to St. A's for Labor Day, I'm stoked! Def. buy paddle tires, even if you only hit sand once. They make a night and day difference, especially on a banshee. Sit in one spot spinning going through gears trying to move or hook up and get the hell outta there.

That or heat it up with a torch and tweak it over a little bit. That's probably what I would do if shims weren't enough. It doesn't take much to bend one of those if you have a torch. Put a nice little s-shape in the lever right back by the pivot point and you would be good to go. Nice blingy cover BTW.

Definitely not for duning. You use too much fuel to to be useful in duning. I would have to stop twice and fill up to get to the back side of our dunes (where all the fun stuff is) and that would suck. I can barely make it to the back side, play around and back to the truck as it is. Alky just isn't practical for anything but serious drag racing.

Either one is a good clutch, I've ran both and liked them both. No complaints about either one. I would just wait and get the cheaper one myself.

I saw it last night and loved it. Kinda possible I guess, but you would have to have some pretty crazy evolution shit going on to get creatures that looked like that. My favorite scene is where the creature starts to tear into the lady's stomach and eat her alive laying there. Awesome movie, I might go see it again.

My "on-the-fly" adjuster got a little sand in it, striped out the very first time I tried to adjust it out in the field and I ended up screwing me in the ass all the way back to the truck. Right now I have a pipe clamp holding my clutch cable to my bars while I have a new one ordered waiting to get here. Those adjust on the fly things are crap IMO and I will never get another one.
