  1. agreed on all points, she was very cool. I haven't talked to her in years either, but figured there were some old timers here like myself that would want to know.
  2. agreed here. Small dunes like Silver Lake Michigan or Little Sahara OK are pretty easy. Large dunes like St. Anthony, LS Utah, or Glamis take some skill (and balls) to ride to their full extent. There are hill climbs in Utah and Idaho that will kill you if you aren't careful. If you're in the wrong gear or let the power fall off the pipe, you might as well jump off the bike and let it go, because you will NOT stop it from going back down the hill. Trails can take a lot of skill too, it just depends on the trail and the pace you ride it.
  3. sorry if this is a repost, I didn't see any other topics on this here, and wanted to let everyone know. I received news today via Facebook that Brooke has passed away. I don't really know much info, I know she had a large part in putting this site, Sandbros etc together, and wanted to share the bad news with the site. http://www.bchfh.com/obituary.php?1942 http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/mainetoday-pressherald/obituary.aspx?n=brooke-elizabeth-walton&pid=140189149 sorry if this isn't in the right place, feel free to move.

  4. I would get a Raptor 700. YFZ 450s are good too, but the suspension and seats are pretty stiff, especially in 04 and 05. The Raptor 700 has lots of torque, nice seat and suspension, and reverse. No way would I buy a Banshee over a Raptor 700 or YFZ for trail riding.
  5. because Trinity is over-hyped, overly expensive junk (especially their porting)
  6. I agree, 290 to 320 on the mains, and richen the needle up as well by raising the clip to the 2nd notch from the bottom.
  7. I've ridden the crap out of my Banshee this summer, it has a complete YFZ front end (with YFZ Elka shocks) and it's been great. I used the spacers and tie rods from the OP.
  8. you'll be glad you bought the Toomey setup. I bought them earlier this year and they fit much better and are 0 hassle compared to the old clamp on ones that scrape the hell out of your silencers. here is a shot of my Banshee with them installed: http://www.silverlakesandduners.com/pics/a...eehaulerswp.jpg
  9. 22's in the front are better in the sand, like Jay said they help the front end float better.
  10. here is how I did mine on my duner. I wasn't totally done with them in these shots, but you get the idea.
  11. the reed pedals will not interchange. I run the 3's on my dune ported 350 and love em.
  12. stick with the 21cc domes if you want to run pump fuel. I run 19's and I have 175 psi compression and run race fuel. It's possible you could get away with 20's, but why push it?
