  1. DAMN dude! I am fuckin JEALOUS as hell! make sure you get some pics up after the additions!
  2. thanks for all the suggestions guys, i appreciate it.
  3. Thanks Nick! Anyone run the short black waters or vipers on rocks?
  4. So i never really have ridden my banshee on anything but sand and the occasional spin around the block for tuning purposes... well the other day i took it up to a place to play around and realized i have been missing out big time, but my stock tires blow, i just spin spin spin! what are your favorites, it would be mostly dirt trails and hills, lots of rocks. I really like the shredders back in the day and the holeshots, what are you guys riding on?
  5. you are supposed to have a small spacer in there, it's about 3/4 of an inch long if i remember right.
  6. make sure the half moon cut outs on the slide are facing towards the air filters... also make sure you reattached the choke tube that goes between the two carbs.

    First Bear

    Nice bear Ruko, that is cool as hell! I've been along on a few hound chases when we put bears in tree's it was a real trip. congrats on a great animal, when my buddy gave me all of his bear meat a few years ago we found that if you marinate the steaks in equal parts soy sauce and gingerale, then grill it up with some black pepper it was awesome! wash it down with some red horse or saporo!
  8. WOW yeah it's different for sure here, we have to jump tandem twice then we can start jumping solo... on the tandem jumps there is about a 1 minute free fall, that is exciting as hell.

    Sky Diving!

    So... for my dirty thirty, i got to sky dive on saturday morning, here are a few pics. Sky diving was a ton of fun and it's worth it 100%. I will be going again soon, i hope to get my second tandem jump out of the way soon so i can start jumping solo. the unfortunate part of sky diving, is that you have to jump tandem and some dude on his knees spends a lot of time around your crotch and then strapped to your back At least i didn't end up with a bright purple suit. The landing was amazingly soft, i just put my legs out and he took care of the rest, then the scary part, i just heard one little click and he stood up and walked away, that was all that was holding me to the guy with the parachute.
  10. I went from running the 8 paddle haulers to 9 paddle extremes, i love the way they hook up. this was before i ported the motor and they were great, now that it's ported, i'd say i love em more. stay away from molded tires. for the front i am running kenda runners they cut hard and do a great job, i really enjoyed the baldies i had though, they just got punctured everytime i hit lava rock.
  11. Between the gas tank and radiator... I got a cdi relocating bracket from Tourque Racing. http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=132611
  12. so does this mean, i should cap blk/wht and ground red/blk???
  13. Hey Guys, I have a cdi relocation bracket on the bike and i recently went a step further and eliminated my kill switch and lights, now i can't figure out what to do with the blk/wht and red/blk wires... i've been told to ground them, tie them, and cap them... please help?!?
  14. Thanks, Banshee HP you are the man, thanks for the info... i did realize i wouldn't be removing tons of surface, i just need enough to smooth out a couple small dings... i think the sand paper will work, a local machine shop will deck it for me, but i don't wanna bring my squish down any significant amount.
  15. So i have a few dings in the deck of my cylinders from a dumbass wife that didn't move them off the freezer before she opened it, or dumbass husband if you would rather for leaving them on the freezer, anyways... it's enough that my cool head won't seal properly. My clymers manual talks about putting some sand paper on a piece of glass and resurfacing the deck in a figure 8 pattern... Has anyone ever attempted this successfully? what grit of sand paper did you use? I am replacing the head studs too, some of them won't go all the way into the cylinder, what do you use to clean those out? any acid or cleaners or tricks for that? Do you loctite headstuds before putting them back in?
  16. I did have some actually from this trip, but she deleted them, she's a frickin tease like that. lets me take pics, but probably intended on deleting them all from the get go. I work for Marriott so i just stayed at the Sprighill suites by the convention center, it's a nice hotel and i only paid 30 a night with free breakfast. i didn't get to hit hooters for the 1.50 buds, but the frontier and riviera have the same deal if you go to the right place, i wanted to go see a mud wrestling show at the frontier but couldn't find it, i guess it's gone, so i went to little darlings, they were waiving the cover if you showed your nascar ticket. that place was crazy busy and if you didn't look like you were drunk before you walked in the girls weren't real friendly, didn't bother me much though saved me a ton of money.
  17. So i am kinda a closet Nascar fan, went down to the races last weekend at the las vegas motor speed way. sorry the pics suck they mostly came from my cell phone camera. For those of you that think Nascar is lame you are sorta right, but not all the way. going to a live race is a lot of fun, there are a lot of really fun people there, tons of super skanky women all over the place. lots of beer and booze. and hearing and feeling the cars fly by is awesome. my wife and i enjoying the sunshine, behind us is the dodge burnout drift track, we got to ride in a 2011 dodge on a drift track, it was a lot of fun the drivers were pretty cool guys too. qualifying on friday some dirtbikes doing a backflips outside the stadium... ALL of them were 2 stroke, it was nice to see and hear and smell that. the big race on sunday, it was a lot of fun and i won some money. I put money on Kyle Busch who i thought would win, he ended up catching fire and got a DNF, but i also put money on my wifes driver Carl Edwards because i thought she'd like it, he won, so it was good for me too. also went to the Mob Experience at the tropicana and got to meet Robert DeNiro. actually it wasn't really him, but the guy was really close.
  18. Got my buck back the other day and put it on the wall in the living room, my wife was not happy about the size of the shoulder mount, it was way bigger than she thought it would be...
  19. They were PWK 28's and yes they were jetted correctly... I don't know what else to say, but we are beating a dead horse here, so this was just my opinion.
  20. ok, so i guess if i can't call it screaming i will call it whooping or moaning or some other term that suites your needs you let me know how you like to say it and we'll settle on that! I had two flatsides on it, i tried out the 2 into 1 and i didn't feel any noticable difference from one to the other, but i went with the 2 into 1 for ease of jetting, and it looks slick and more streamlined in my opinion. as far as top end, i typically don't get into 5th and 6th a lot i guess, it's just my style. the only time i do is when i'm making a choke cherry run, and the few runs i did with the two flatsides didn't feel any different than the runs with the 2 into 1. this is all BUTT dyno time, not any real numbers, just my opinion that there wasn't much of a difference in the way it felt. i like the trinity 2 into 1 setup personally, not saying i wouldn't be open to anything else ever, but i've really liked it.
  21. I am running my trinity 2 into 1 with a 35 mm carb, Pro ciruit pipes, with a mid range port and it screams for me out in the sand dunes.
  22. pretty damn awesome dude... I'll pray for you, stock banshee suspension sucks balls!
  23. Thanks guys, it was a blast... the dude at the photo place thinks the camera had gone through an xray machine probably at an airport or the fact that it had been sitting under the back seat of my truck for 2 years might have caused the film to distort... who knows, it kinda blows. i had a bunch of pictures that just didn't even turn out.
