  1. I don't think they are even producing those anymore. I spoke with him like 4 years ago about some stuff. Might be worth a call though.
  2. His last bike had glass as well.
  3. Welcome to the finest E party on the net!
  4. Something like that, allegedly...
  5. No, order it from someone who can give you all the tech info you will need. I think BP is a sponsor here, but I feel like ordering it from one of the guys that build them for a living is the better way to go. Guys like Jeff at Fast or Cam at Redline are able to give you solid set up advise, jetting info, etc. As for the race fuel, find new people to get info. Who ever told you it makes motors live longer is a looney toon living off one misconception after another. Race fuel if put in a motor that doesn't require it will not burn properly and will actually make less power on a motor not built to run race fuel since it doesn't "explode" the way it is meant to. Slower bang means less violent piston motion. Race gas is intended for a motor with more compression and/or timing which normal pump gas would combust before the piston reaches the proper position for combustion due to pressure and heat. When that happens folks call it detonation,pre ignition, or other related terms. Basically it is a way of saying it is lighting way to early. When that happens you can expect damage if it is prolonged. So race gas has a higher octane to resist combustion till physically lit by the spark plug. So when race gas is used in a motor designed to burn it, it combusts with a bit more of a violent explosion creating more piston energy. In turn you get a motor that is more fun, but it is harder on a motor. Parts see more abuse then a pump gas motor would.
  6. And now neither will the South Americans...
  7. Old old old stuff was draw through. It does help to cool the turbo.... That's about it IMO. I've not done a banshee, but have messed with some sled stuff that ran pretty good, and they were all blow through. Just need to build a plenum and create bungs/nipples to reference the lines on the carbs and fuel pressure regulator, and possibly a boost controller if you're not doing it with the wastegate. If you're gonna get serious about doing it, think about beefing up the cases when it comes to crank seals and if it were me the crank case should be o-ringed. There are a couple fellas here who have already figured out all the nuances. Doubtful that they will share the info without some photos of somebody's wife's tits though...
  8. That's a good thing. Means they have sold enough and nobody is bitching. I'm sure there will be new stock.
  9. Is it safe to assume that consumer prices will stay low enough till the little guys from America can't compete and eventually shut down, leaving the Middle East in charge of creating $4.00 a gallon gasoline again?
  10. Some people can't even be bothered roll the damn thing out to take photos.
  11. Shipping $20 tires for $30 bucks in freight...... Not to mention, Green's time to pack and head to the post office. That time to me would never be worth $20.
  12. Naw, cuz detonation doesn't cause any heat.... For real though, some folks are able to tune by sound, feel, seat of the pants. Others need a little more help. The later of the two will swear up and down its not possible. But they are always the same guys with motors that are constantly in disarray. Just sayin...
  13. That's a killer ATC!
  14. People need to realize that you don't get to start adding all the receipts to a machine's original sticker price to come up with a selling price.
  15. Look at the snowmobile guys. Lots of cool down carts. Just think of it with a water resivoir instead of two hoses in the lake.
  16. That's a pretty stellar deal.

  18. If it ran good before, but is acting up now and not burning the fuel well, it's gonna be an electrical issue.

  20. Believe it or not, this site has tons of different promo codes for a lot of different junk. http://www.promopro.com/merchant-RockyMountainATVMC-coupons-deals-6971.html&gclid=CM-huN-c6coCFQYyaQod-SsNNQ
  21. Helps to put a straight edge a cross the head and rest what you are using to mark right on it.
