I know a banshee you need to add to your stable. :biggrin: Free bump.

Lowe's carries them.

Your best chance is in the sand or on pavement. Traction is the key to beating a dirt bike and it won't happen in dirt or gravel.

I say buy both. I have a mini twin tube 3.5 gallon 125psi unit for stuff neeeding portability. Though those are realy only good for nail guns and small stuff. My workhorse is a craftsman 6hp 30 gallon 150psi unit. It will run anything you hook to it. It's noisy but I've run the living piss out of it for 5yrs, running diegrinders for hours on end. I've never had to stop to wait for it to fill up.

Do it yourself. Turn the preload all the way out. Get some spring compressors and tighten them a tad till your able to remove the spring plate at the bottom of the shock. Pull spring out. Now compress new spring and reassemble in reverse order. It's really simple.

Actually to replace everything is over 500 pieces. That also includes case bolts etc..

Yea I'm listening to sleet hammering my window as thunder shakes my house. Talk about wierd. Weatherman had to come up with new terminology, called it a thundersnow.

I could probably go a $100.00? I sold mine new for 125 but they had polished rims.

Look-up "thefastnerguy" on ebay since Russ from alloyboltz is gone.

Go the 421 cub. If it's too much power for you then turn in the throttle restrictor screw a few times.

The best way to do it IMO, is use the retractable hose reals and hang them from the ceiling. Just pipe the air to them with regular air hose and run the air hose through pvc pipe for a cleaner look. This way you will never have to roll hose up again and extra hose isn't always laying around in your work area around your feet, tipping over items on your work bench etc.. Here's mine, just use as many reals as you like or need.

Eibach spring from cascade, 89.00.

Might check out Ricky Stator as well. If you do any night riding their flywheel and stators help out a bunch. Adj timing plates there are cheap as well.

Janssen Racing has them.

Now don't forget about my scenario and how we all show different levels of racisim. Some people may be in total denial that they are not a so called "racist" but I promise, each and every one of you, that you exhibit racism in some form or fashion. Now these may be just an internal hunch or expressed as an outward emotion etc.. It's kind of like a person being weary before they pet a pitbull dog. It's a part of self preservation that is imprinted within us. Like I said I don't condone it and in order to function nornally (key word here) we must sometimes supress our desires and our fears. Racism is not just a word derived for the white's that hate blacks. What Kramer did was wrong and he should of supressed those feelings. He could of very well went off on anyone. white, black, female, short, fat, bald, you name it. And people that show hatred towards short, fat, bald guys, I don't like. Cause that will probably be me one of these days. lol

I was just giving some examples of how racisim is manifested (different forms, and why?) in our every day lives. I absolutely do not condone his actions in any way but racism and prejudice are all around us. Our inhibitions to control our feelings and keep them in check make us who we really are. Some people are unable to do that very well such as the case with Kramer. I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just delving a little deeper into the subjest than just taking it as face value. It really gives people something to think about. :wink:

So you wouldn't have a problem answering your door at midnight with the above described gentlemen at the door? Brooke, your judgement is based upon the word itself "racism". Once you understand bias and when you tell me that you have no bias's I will tell you that your full of crap. Understand why you have and we all have bias's. Racism is just that. Except it has been used in a negative way that most are quick to say "me rasict? no way!!! You have to look beyond your personal view and look at the whole. Think outside the box and try to understand why it is there. Why do people feel this way. Don't just ignore it and say, well that's not me. It's a problem yes, and to deal with it, is to have a better understanding. :wink:

Not sure on the performance difference. I've never ridden a banshee with the dmc's. The Trinity's are more of a mid to top pipe, which are excellent for duning which is all I do. They do perform ok on the trail but my FMF fatties were a better pipe for trails. As far as sound, they sound really good, though they don't have such a high pitch wail. It's more of a lower pitch sound mainly due to the thicker walled expansion chambers which deadens most of the pinging sound off of them. Their quality really sets the standard for banshee pipes as well. Either way I'm sure you will be happy but If I had to spend 6 bills tomorrow on a set of pipes, I'd buy another pair. :thumbsup: They also make a nice spark arrestor that mounts into the billet cone of the can. Really trick and doesn't look like a freakin bugle strapped to your tail pipe.

I think racism manifests itself in many ways in our society. Whether it's probablities, preconceived notions, learned behavior or personal experiences. It's just human nature it's a part of are learning process to take these factors into account. In other words we are keen to the different and unknown and we fill in these unknown voids from probabilities, preconceived notions, learned behavior or personal experience. An example would be a white guy on a Harley coming to your door at midnight, He has tattoo's sleeved down both arms. Are you reluctant to answer the door? You tell me how you feel and why you feel that way? It's the same as racism. Would you feel different if a little old lady was at the door? Of course you would. This is behavior based on self segregation and self preservation. Think about these things, racisim is all around us and manifests intself in infinite forms. Being a racist is NOT NECESSARILY the person that feels that ways fault.

I found it interesting in a statistical report that many of you may have seen in your local papers just a couple days ago. It made a comparison between Asians, Caucasians, African Americans, and Mexicans. It compared educational backgrounds, avg income, home ownership etc.. What I really found interesting is that Mexican Americans were the least educated of the 4 groups but had a higher avg income and more owned their own homes than African Americans. The Caucasion and Asians income was proportional to their eduction. AA were below avg based on their education and Mexicans were above avg based on their education. Because of their work ethic more Mexicans are able to stay out of poverty. Anyway just some statistics.

Haven't actually played the PS3 yet. The reviews I've read have been pretty dissapointing as the PS3 has not lived up to be what Sony claimed it would be. My understanding is these new units are plaqued with a lot of bugs (doesn't surprise me) and it will be another 6 months till most of these issue's are worked out. Graphics are about the same as the 360 but I don't believe any 1080p games have been released. Some say these initial games were rushed for the release and suffer some quality issues.

I'm still pissed off about the other thread that was deleted. It's like lets protect this guy so his shady business practices aren't tainted. It's forums like this that inform us of who and who not to deal with. I'm with all you guys on this, I had no doubt of the truth in the matter and a big thanks for all of you coming to this site with the information. It's just sad that Planet Sand members never get to discover the truth there because of shady moderation. That stuff pisses me off to no end!!!

Noss and Trinity are probably the 2 best heads on the market. The cool heads don't flow correctly but you can buy some trinity domes that will correct the flow pattern.
