Wow, This from an HQ Sponsor? If that's the whole story then shame on them.

Wow, Learn something new every day.... After a little checking I see that Hinson Banshee cushions are the standard round style just like the others. All these years I thought Hinson used these funky shaped proprietary pucks like this. https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=L7xh7w1a&id=5BE95CBA5E2A4C396CC8F063965E2CBB07E17CB5&thid=OIP.L7xh7w1aeWjUZ8KhE0_jAQEsEs&q=hinson+clutch+basket+cushion+images&simid=608027685417976365&selectedIndex=2&qpvt=hinson+clutch+basket+cushion+images&ajaxhist=0 When I first replaced mine I fought with them like crazy but have found that if I just barley started one side then used a flat blade screwdriver I could easily get the opposite side to start and they'd push right down into place. Hope that help's makes it easier for you. I've not used the Chariot kit but all of the stuff that I've ever got from Jerry has been 1st rate. I just installed a set of Mattoon cushions and really like how dense they are but I didn't use the backing plate and larger screws that require drilling and tapping oversize. Instead, I used a Hinson plate and bolt kit that had the same size screws that my original billet basket used.

Does Chariot offer Hinson style cushions? I thought Jerry (Chariot) and Mattoon only had the standard round pucks.

The 2.86 stock ratio seems to be pretty popular with a lot of clutch tuners. I mainly run 1/4 mile and use multi-stage clutches which have tower springs to control the lockup arm application as opposed to most other designs which start applying pressure to the outer pressure plate as soon as the basket starts spinning. I use 2.68's which spin the basket at a little faster RPM than the OEM ratio. Banshee basket speeds aren't high to begin with so it's tricky balancing arm application during launch with having enough clamping force at shifts (especially 5-6). A bonus to using that ratio is it also allowed me to drop one tooth in front.

Yes Sir, My mistake lol

Your loss

When we built our first asphalt bike we tried running a Marvin Shaw at full pressure on a no link arm but because of the shocks steep angle the hole shot forces would cause the back of the bike to dip hard and rebound back sharply making it a bitch to ride.

Are you still looking? My wife and I run asphalt and she's decided to hang up her leathers. I started pulling her bike apart tonight and will be selling her polished 35mm PWK's with long cable adjusters, A&S billet bowls and intakes. I do have 3 new cables that are the best available IMO but they're expensive and I won't part with them for any less than what I paid. PM me if interested.

You don't need it

I'd bet something's bound up. Pull the cable off the actuator and try working the handle and cable. My money say's they're free.

This lockup thread is one of HQ's best IMO and I don't want to start muddying it up with a bunch of "chatter" but there hasn't been anything added to it in some time. Chucks doing great. I still talk to him a few times a year but rarely about tuning since he's moved well beyond dealing with Banshee stuff which is to bad for us. He started out on the asphalt with Banshee's and after he'd given them up for two wheels he did some innovative retrofitting or designing of successful drag parts for both Motorcycles and Banshee's. The most well known for the Banshee were the Wilburn Ignition (basically a reprogrammed Schnitz box that was used by many serious drag bikes back in the day) and the Multi-stage clutch (used by many until the slider was developed) but he often ended up being bashed over price or by guy's doing shitty installs or those who just weren't any good at tuning.

John is the Master.... Did you ever see the video of the Cruise Director reading the letter he sent to them for their morning show. OMG it's hilarious.

I was normal when I first joined the HQ but in time I've learned all kinds of nifty tricks from Nyuk

Ya Nick, It looked a little fuzzy through the skin wrap so I opened it to apply some special polishing sauce before shipping it out

I ordered a set of reed petals once and it was almost a year before I went to install them and found they wouldn't fit. No questions asked they replaced them with the correct ones. I always appreciated that years ago Tony took time to talk in depth about reeds with me.
