Stellar Performance

Oh man....you should have let that hang out there a little bit longer. I was lmao......haha. It should be nice riding out there before it gets all torn up from the big holiday weekend.

You really will not see any difference between the two. Since they are the same displacement, port layouts basically the same, youre not gonna get any more out of the cheetah over the cub. If you went with the powervalve on the cheetah, it would make the motor much more of an all around ridable bike. But as far as peak numbers go, they are gonna be the same. And at that point, go with which ever one is cheaper.

how would you know, you were asleep. BUT THEY DID TELL ME THAT YOUR MOUTH WANTED TO OPEN NATURALLY!!!!

I guess it has been explained incorrectly to me all these years. I was always told if the axis of the pivot point, pointed forward, it was a positive castor. And if it pointed rearward, it was negative. But it makes perfect sense that if you look at it clock wise, you would want it moving forward, or in a positive direction. Good info right there. I stand corrected!

Actually positive castor will help you to turn easier, negative castor will help keep your wheels going straight. If you had 14-15 degrees of positive castor, it would be a death trap going 80-100 mph down the strip.

hehehe.....thats not a hot dog!!! Thats actually Austins little pecker in his face. He would have gone for the buns, but lucky for Eric, he passed out sitting down

There are a coule of ways to secure the wheelie bar to the swingarm, but most of them require welding a bracket to the swingarm. If you do not plan of lowering the front of the bike any. Then you will only want to lower the rear enough so the bike sits pretty close to level. If you build some struts for the front as well, then you can lower the entire bike to sit about 3-4 inches off the ground. Check with your local track and see what is required to pass tech.

The plus forward arms do help with weight transfer. But for asphault I would still recommend a wheelie bar. Depending on your weight, you dont want to go with too long of a swingarm to help keep some weight over the tires. And just like Slowerthanyou stated. For Asphault you really want somewhere between 12-15 degrees of negative castor. I have built a few sets of the -1+3.5 forward drag arms with the negetive caster built into them for the asphault guys.

Wheelie bars are not that difficult to make. You just have to give it some thought when doing one. If you connect the upper bar to the frame rather than a point connected to the swingarm, you will have to strut the rear. A good rule of thumb is to make the wheelie bar length the same as your wheel base. A stock banshee is 50.4 inches long. So if you have a +2 swingarm, you should aim for about a 52-54" long wheelie bar. If you have too short of a wheelie bar, it will be a rough transfer on and off the bar.

The Bearing carrier is not oval. The bore for the bearings if offset from the center of the outer diameter. It create a "cam" effect. So as you rotate the bearing carrier, the bearings will move forward and back to tighten or loosen the chain.

Right on Guys. Glad to see you guys are gonna put this together yet again. We will defintely head out again as well.

You're hired!!!!

Sooooooooooo What youre saying is there is no 8th gear? :yelrotflmao:
