Ok guys,
My son bought me a Dual Gasser for Father's day. Just put it on today. Will let you know what I think after our next trip.
-
You know, I just thought about another deciding factor. My wife likes to "cruise" the banshee every now & then, so I will have to go with an upgraded aftermarket thumb throttle or the Dual Gasser. My wife and a twist throttle could be trouble
-
Thanks 2001stroker, I checked the link, and I like what I see. Will probably go with that setup or maybe the terrycable dual gasser.
-
Thanks for all the great info! I may go with the Terry cable dual gasser. Will check the other options also.

Guys,
My thumb is about to fall off after riding the dunes for more than 45 minutes. Am thinking about changing to a twist throttle. How many of you have done this, and is it worth it or should I get a thumb throttle extender thingy?
-
$40.00 is alot for what's there ( 3 sets of pit toilets and some dumpsters). No hookups whatsoever. Not even running water. But if you buy a yearly pass for $90.00 like I did it is worth it if you go at least 3 times a year. We camp in a pop out tent trailer and bring extra water and a generator. It works out just fine.

I was just there last weekend and it is definitley worth the trip. I live near Sacramento (Rocklin) and it takes me about 3.5 to 4 hours to nget there. The mountain is one long razerback with some great steep hill climbs. Comp hill is a blast ( 600 feet tall ). There are smaller dunes to the left to play on, and also on the back side of the mountain. We try to go to Sand Mountain about 3 times a year and Glamis once. The altitude there is 4,000 ft at the base of the mountain, and 4,600 at the top, so I usually lean my banshee out by one jet size smaller. That's all I do and she runs great! To get there take 80 east through Reno, Get off at the second Fernley exit ( # 48 Ithink ), go through a couple of stop lights, through the roundabout and towards Fallon. Stop in Fallon for last minute supplies. Continue on 50 about 25 miles, You will eventually see Sand Mountain on your left. Camping is $40.00 for up to 7 nights. Hope this info helps!

Here is one pic taken from our campsite. I will bring some more pics & videos from our Sand Mountain trip.
Well it did not upload. The file was too big. I guess I need to change my camera settings for pictures that I will upload. Will try again after Sand Mountain
-
im downloading from my camera right now. took about 300 pictures, got about 35 i can post here. i'll put em up later.
Well the trip was absolutley awesome! no problem with "the man" Every Banshee I saw out there with the Toomey pipes did not have spark arrestors. Thanks for the input guys!. Going to Sand Mountain in 3 weeks. No need to worry about spark arrestors there.
-
Did not even think about the db level, but I aggree with you all. I think I will be ok. Will post back after the trip if in fact I do get cited.
-
Thanks Bansh-eman, That's kind a what I was thinking. I will just keep the flag, helmit lights, etc. on & not do anything stupid.

Hi guys,
Going to Glamis the weekend after Presidents day. My '06 is running with the Toomey T6 pipes and jetting kit. I do not have the Toomey spark arrestors however. Should I be concerned about getting a ticket for not having them?

Hi guys,
This is my first post (love the site!), so bear with me. I recently purchased my first quad ("06 black SE). and will mainly be riding in the sand with ocassional dirt trail riding. I have already upgraded to the Toomey TR6 pipe kit (pipes,jetting, UNI filter & airbox vents). & paddle tires. Now I am thinking about what upgrades I should do to the suspension. I am in my 50's, so I won't be getting too crazy. What shocks/settings should I do on my Banshee next? Any info woud be greatley appreciated. Thanks!

Hi guys, Thinking about going to Oregon Dunes this August. Any suggestions on which campground to go to? We want to be close to the dunes, and have full hookups. Any thoughts on this?
