Tedder

No head. I've got someone else who's interested too but you know how that goes. We'll see what happens with that.

Yes - Unless you have a 120mm rod crank I figure the best thing to do with them would be to have them bored and plated to 78mm to use regular DM pistons with 16mm wrist pins.

10mil Small bore (74.50mm) DM cylinders with the pistons that were used with a 120 rod crank and the exhaust flanges and reed adapters.

Picked up from someone that owed me money. My son had rode the bike once and I'd raced against it (asphalt). 10mil Titan ported 74.50mm bore. It was setup for a 120 rod which has an 18mm wrist pin instead of 16mm like the 115 rod uses. So - Unless you have the rare 120 rod setup I'd say the best thing to do is have them bored and plated to the std 78mm DM. I'm supposed to get the 74.50 mm pistons/rings, exhaust flanges and reed adapters. I won't finalize the sale until I have those for you also. $250.00 shipped in the US

No

Got 6 qts. of Redline Synthetic Lightweight ShockProof Gear Oil will sell at a killer price. PM me if interested.

Pro mod like said Order a FAST bottom end rebuild. Whoever trues and welds that crank should check the bearings. You can upgrade them if you please. Maybe some straight cuts. How old are your wear items? Pressure plate,basket,hub,clutch plates, cable,shift shaft,shift forks? Pancake bearing? Water pump? Trans bearings? Haha, Yes Sir - You have traveled into the Banshee vortex! Another one bites the dust....

All good suggestions here. One more: Galling on the third wheel gear and shaft? (a Banshee weak link)

I've not been there - Only found out about the place a week or so before their recent "Buckeye Brawl" event. My wife, son and I have run 1/4 mile asphalt for years because that's what track's are near us. Our home track is an easy 15 miles down the road. If we hadn't already had plans for that weekend we would have gone and checked the place out for sure. It's only 65 miles from our door. As for the Michigan guy's coming in, I say welcome! I've seen plenty of tracks struggling to keep the doors open and the facilities in good shape so bringing in the numbers is a good thing plus if they're good bracket racers it makes us have to sharpen our skills!

I suspect you're used to working with much higher power applications than my junk and don't think I'm going to have any success with anything other than something rigid. I appreciate that your trying to help but I don't run big motors and haven't had a terrible time with twist. I get some scrubbing on my front sprocket and just thought I could snug things up a little with something like a polyurethane type material vs the OEM rubber insert.

Thanks everyone for your input.

OK Thanks anyway

Thanks John but I'd like to stay away from anything that's rigid as solid metal but with more backbone than factory rubber. It's motor twist on my asphalt launches that I'm trying to control.

Sorry my description of what I'm looking for wasn't clear. It's the bottom dog bone mounts under the motor that I'd like to stiffen up

Does anyone sell polyurethane motor mount bushings for Banshee's? Looking for something that's tough with very little give but not metal.

Unless you're a Builder with a light weight jockey looking to do some impressive advertising I don't know why anyone who gets into any form of Banshee drag racing wouldn't run their own stuff. Just because your a big guy doesn't take the thrill away. And Guns - They run bracket sand drags at Bull Run Raceway so you'll be able to fit right in.

Any nice one's out there?

These will do ya: https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/991/-/2983/4-115-Douglas-.125-Wheel-10X8-3.0-%2B-5.0?term=1087590018

When my son goes to the track he runs 19.0/8.0 - 10GT on his heavy full framed banshee like yours and my wife and I run 20.0/8.0 - 10GT's on our asphalt Banshee's. SD-23 is there softest compound. We deal with Boubin Tire http://www.americanracertires.com/store.php?cid=18&page=2

High 11's are absolutely doable with a 421 gas cub in a heavy frame with no lockup and a stock tranny. I'm not familiar with the Kendra tires but I suspect they're not going to do you right. I'd also be very careful about launching in 2nd on the asphalt. We broke stock second gears easily when taking off in 1st with a little 358 cub. Thing is, You got your feet wet. I think you did good for the first time out. Did you have a good time?

We've run both on our asphalt bikes and other than some low/mid range tuning difference because of different slides there was no better performance edge from either. I agree with sheerider11 - Go with the standard PWK's since there's lots more and much better tuning recommendations to be found on web for them.

I agree. A mix of straight cuts and Hot Rod cranks are all I've ever had trouble with. Usually working off a couple of thousands or so is all it takes.

It's not that uncommon of a problem. I carefully work one side of the key on a good file.

Limited places left, PM sent
