05Special

last time i couldn't kick my bike over the top end was shot.. new piston and rings and she fired 2nd kick first start up...

Two stock cylinders.. Aggressive dune port by R&B..Need a clean up bore and hone.. I'm looking for carbs better then stock or some decent paddles with rims. Let me know what ya got...

You know of anyone on here in the area? Be pretty cool to get together with a bunch of HQ guys...

still have it?

still have the rear tires???

located in RI, holeshots are 20 x11 x9 I think, not sure though, I'll check in a bit and post some pics.. I need paddles for hillclimbing in soft sand..

R&B porting did my stock cylinders ( aggressive dune port). It was by far the biggest power gain I noticed.. Give them stockers a good port job.. You'll love it, power hits hard...

congrats.. Ive lost once to a 450... That night the cylinders were packaged and heading to RB Porting (same port as you) a little while later I get my jugs back with a few new pistons.. That saturday i race the same 450 that I lost to... Absolutely smoked him.. It was awesome...Now nobody wants to race the shee?????I'm the only one around here with a banshee. Everyone has 450's....And I always win...

anyone Live close to RI???

Check the torque on the clutch springs, Make sure they are all the exact same and to spec...I had a problem like this with my stock clutch.. Dirt digger makes a decent one.. Has been through a lot and still running strong. I have all 6 aftermarket springs though which makes for a real bad pump in the forearm...

Angler, Just got them bolts in... I love them thanks...

Paddle tire with rims...size does not matter unless they are tires only. In that case I need a 9" tire....

funny you said that. My bike is also an 05.. I went crazy one day trying to find the sound you are describing.. Almost sounds like its overheating.. hard to explain.. I just kept running after a while and never had any problems

lol, I just looked at the pic.. that was the day I did my stitch job on the right of my rear fender... Note...them tires are pretty warn too...

I can climb just about anything in my location, my mods are in my sig but I just added a + 6 swinger which I agree is a must... The power from the mods on a stock swinger just don't cut it when hit a big old not at the top of a hill.. I need some paddles by the way... anyone have any they would want to trade for some nice holeshot hd's? Just to mention it, a 22" mud shark with the bike geared VERY low with tear some shit up...I'll try and post a pic of when I had them but it might not load... These tires are unbeliveable in mud, sand, and wear very well on the hard pack...

I need some paddles, Would like to trade ...can trade with rims or without...will post pics tomorrow...tires are in excellent shape as well as rims..

oh yea. beautiful bike by the way., I also have an 05 Special...

I did a big booboo... I cut the swinger before the j arm mount...haha well I learned the hard way..I custom made a brracket going across the swingarm.. It will definitly add strength.. I have the shock held up right now with threaded rod so I can move it to my buddy's house so I can weld it once zI get the correct pin to go through the mount.. I'll post some pics is the morning.. Not a bad fix I don't think for an oooops. I'm sure there are a few others out that have made this same mistake. Maybe I can give someone an idea if they happen to do the same as I.. and remember.. THINK BEFOE YOU CUT....

any shock mods needed for a plus 6 swinger???

" I am now dumber having read your post" that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen... ohh and by the way.. "hole is spelt "whole"

I run VP110 and torco, I'll never run anything but torco..Good to give it a try if anyone is looking for something new... Smells good, and burns the son of a bitch's eyes behind you :biggrin: bike runs real clean at 40:1

I like having all black plastics with lots of chrome.. my bike is like that now...but I just felt a little tingle in my spine when I saw these.. They are different and I think they are pretty cool, I'll have em soon....http://www.skinindustries.com/xcart/product.php?productid=27&cat=37&page=1, look at the red set, they look mean...

I agree...or possibly go with a little less aggressive tire.

I need some carbs... I wanted to see what you gentlemen would recomend.. Shee's bored .80 over, pro design head with 19cc domes, Pro Circuit Pipes and 304 silencers, RB Aggressive Dune port, vf 3's, K&N pods... What would you guys recomend for me? I ride mostly dunes and hillclimbing..I imagine I would see a nice powergain from some good carbs?? What would you guys think for approximate horsepower? What I have with stocks and with aftermarkets??

Have you done a compression test??
