  1. The best way to build a mean banshee is to first decide what your riding style is, where you ride the most, come up with a budget and add several hundred more dollars to it, and then open up your wallet and start buying and building. lol. Hit me up if you need anything. Ive got alot of used stuff im getting rid off and can also help you out with new stuff. Shoot me a pm or give me a call anytime.
  2. Tim. I didn't say they should be concerned by losing business to me. I also said I'm no where near there level. What I Said was since I've started my own thing alot of our riding buddies & friends that used to go there, come to me now. Thats what I was saying. Sorry for the misunderstanding there. If I can offer same or similar products for less and still make a profit of course they will help me out. The more I've got to know them mainly Chris Ive learned how Rude, arrogant and now untrustworthy they are. Mike in my opinion is a great guy. He was in contact with me through the whole setup of my motor but still never mentioned that the cylinders were already set up for a 4mill and proly why I was having issues with it all last year. In my own experience. I have also spent thousands upon thousands of dollars there. I'm not telling anyone to not go there. They do have everything usually In stock. I for one have just lost my trust In them and I'll proly go elsewhere from now on if I need to. Just want to clarify.
  3. LOL. No problems with any RS ones Ive ran. I have heard others have though. I also meant $115 shipped. I can get trailtech stators as well. Contact AKheathen on here. He may have one or he can rebuild yours.
  4. PM sent. I also have some of the parts I forgot to mention in the PM.
  5. R.I.S does have a great line of billet parts and accessories and lots of other cool shit. I am also a dealer for them. Actually I also have a long history with them. Nothing against the guys personally. Im not bashing them, Im simply stating some past experience with them. I trusted them until they werent honest with me. Its not second hand. Theres actually alot of history there. So like I stated its just my opinion, my experience with them and thats it. No need to get upset man. Mike personally told me 2 months ago when they set my motor up that He has just recently started to do port work himself and that they DO send there stuff out to lou. No biggie dude. Im just proly not going to use them any longer. Dishonesty sucks.
  6. Good to no that Im not the only one that has had problems with them. Just kinda shady now that Ive gotten to know them better. Dont think ill ever trust them again. I can also get similar billet parts and accessories from 3 of my vendors that somewhat specialize in the billet and bling. Hit me up anytime.
  7. Anyone?? Going to ebay.
  8. Brand new Ricky Stator. $125 shipped. Pm me if interested.
  9. Yup. Its just a roundhouse style. Some people call them honda style because honda has always had this type of swingarm/ carrier setup.
  10. Ive had some work done by Cascade. At first they seemed real nice and knowledgeable. Come to find out there not engine builders. There assembalers. They send there cranks to Lew at twister as well as there jugs. They sub out everything and get it back and put it together. Mike has just recently started to do his own porting there. Also there very overpriced IMO. Once Chris learned i was starting up my own thing 2 hours away in Washington, his attitude really changed. Ive got a ways to go before Im any threat to them, even though i have got a few of there customers lately. I also asked to buy and sell there parts and set up a deal with them. I was blown off. Asked about getting my bike in the Sandsations calender, was told there not going to make it anymore. WRONG. 2 years later i just got my new one at Sandfest, an have all the previous years and will be selling them out of my shop now!! They take what they hear from us duners that are the ones actually doing there R&D and other riders/builders and run with it. Ive caught them twice claiming they started this or were the first with this or something along those lines that they just heard about or whatever. I like the guys for the most part but I dont trust them or believe much of what they say. Here is what just happened to me while building this last motor and the reason I will never go back to them again. I dropped my cylinders and bottom end off to have the domes cut for my new 4mill crank, have the port timing redone and everything cleaned up. Well through the grapevine from one of my buddies that has done alot of business with them ran into Chris on Memorial weekend this year while we were at Winchester. Chris asked how my bike was running since it was the first ride out. Buddy says great he really likes it. Chris says, "well it should run great now that its got the right crank,port timing & domes in it." Apparently the cylinders were already setup for a 4mill from the first time the did it and i was running a stock crank!! No wonder last year my bike never ran right in the higher gears!! To top it off they charged me and didnt even mention anything about it to me. That burned my ass and I will never go there or recommend them to anyone again. Ive spent over 5gs there and cant even get a free Tshirt!! LOL! So thats my experiences with them in a nutshell. Started out good but ended when I realized how dishonest they were. This is just my opinion. Not out to hurt any feelings or start any pissing matches. Everyone has there favorite shop/builder/assembler/parts place or whatever.
  11. I also just went from Vf3's to the Chariot setup. AWESOME! I love it. Huge difference ecspecially in the bottom end. Finally got rid of that little bottom end burp. Great product.
  12. Wow. Man looks like she was very well known. Beautiful girl to. Do you know what happened?
  13. Ive got a buddy that runs the small block setup. He loves it. Tons of torque and the throttle response is awesome. Im planning on building my next bike using the small block or building one for my bike now.

    Valin

    I did some trading with Valin from Canada this week. Everything went good and the communication was excellent. I will not hesitate to work with him again. Thanks man.
  15. thanks dude.
  16. ttt. Any offers on this thing? Excellent bolt on performance mod.
  17. I can take $20 off without the brake line i guess??
  18. Like it says.Complete ready to bolt on YFZ front end for a Banshee. polished upper arms, shocks, tie rods, brake line clamps and spindles. Black chrome springs and lower arms. Black painted hubs, new bronze bushings. All YFZ components. Already cut to fit banshee. Everything included except the mounting bolts & calipers. I used my banshee calipers. Beautiful setup. Ill be honest here. I love the setup. Looks great rides awesome and everything is fully adjustable. Does have a slight camber. Great for dune riding, riding the whoops pinned, and drag racing. I play in the tree shots and steep soft sand alot and found that it is a little tuff to turn or keep control comming out of those steep soft tight spots. Other than that I think its a great setup if it is dialed in correctly. Looking to get around $500 shipped for everything. I do have alot of time in these. polishing, powder coating, mock up cutting, etc. I will consider offers. I see just regular plain stock shocks sell for $250 all the time. This is ready to bolt on. No trades please. PM, email or call if interested. Thanks.

    runDMC

    Did some trading with Run. Great communication and made a deal super fast.
  20. Well again I apologize. I proly did jump the gun. It's not like I teamed this guy I just brought to his attention we have many sponsors. Ecspecially now. I feel there's just alot of free advertisement and people selling parts at cost they get from a buddy. That kills us. That's all I have to say. Thanks dajogejr for seeing what I was trying to say. I'm going to enjoy the rest of my week here at Sandfest. Peace out.
  21. I don't think I laid into him. But whatever. And the only time again like I said before when every single new banshee owner asks what head is better I always offer up modquad to. Can't. Have an opinion about them. I've never states one is better than the othere. There not. They all do the same thing. I here alot on the forums. So what. I enjoy it. When there was only a few of us sponsors you saw us all here more often. With all the sponsors here now it's even tougher to earn or gain business. That's all it is. Business. Those others are setup. They have big shops and are well known. They don't have to be here as much. I've spoke with most of our original sponsors gotten advice etc. I just don't mo what I ever did to you that u feel you always have to make comments on just about every thread I post on. I'm just doing my job and doing what I pay to do here. Deal with it. Support and buy from whoever you want. Idk. Just quit trying to make me look bad or whatever your deal is with me. Get over it.
  22. Lol. Are u serious. So your telling me because I don't manufacture my own parts I can't push parts from my distributers. Wert parts dealer or atv shop makes there own parts huh? Lol. Some people. I push parts from my vendors. Of course u do. I'm still new and getting my name our there. I don't have my own custom product. Yet. So what. The only rime you ever comment on this forum is when u have something negative to say or vouch for fasst or noss. Get over it man. I do remind people about modquad heads. There new and not like They used to be. There is absolutly no proof that one head crank or whatever is better than the other. That is why u see me on threads talking About modquad heads. Geez man. Really!!
