Well, that escalated quickly. *sips scotch

Picked up a two hole chain tensioner from chariot performance. Works great with my extended swing arm! Awesome products, and superior customer service! If you don't know about these guys yet, i highly recommend checking out their e-bay store. http://stores.ebay.com/Chariot-Performance Looking forward to continue doing business with chariot. On my wish list.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Banshee-2-piece-Stator-Cover-Bearing-Support-unpolished-/230534166517

You should strip that paint off, and buy yourself some plasti-dip. That shit works awesome, and if you don't like it, just peal it off! http://plastidip.com/ it surprisingly holds up very well. I put 10-15 hrs on my bike before i noticed ONE chip!

Well played sir.. well played.

Best of e-bay http://www.ebay.com/itm/yamaha-banshee-/261430483803

Agreed, a properly tuned bike will not blue the pipes, 2poke or 4. For those of you, who like me, purchased a set of used pipes... I thought this looked like neat product. I have a small amount of bluing and goldish discoloration on my pipes. I will likely buy this product and post the results.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=69egd-q9bUc#t=127 "Out of the blue" is a new product i stumbled upon yesterday. I'm curious if anyone has tried it on their Banshee's pipes. Yes, i know the bluing will eventually come back over time. As much as i love my meguiars, these guys take the cake every time. Some of the best, yet still affordable detailing products i know of. Ill steal a quote from the back of their metal polish "high luster with the least amount of effort." To those of you who don't know about wizards, you really need to check out everything they have to offer. http://www.wizardsproducts.com/

Another video different point of view from the same weekend

The "450r Fail" video? Yeah, that was awesome!

Awesome guys, thanks! We had a great time ripping up and down this hill. Had quite the audience at one point.. but no one wanted to play with us, they just wanted to watch.. i wonder why? I found some history on this hill yesterday, not sure if its true or not but this guy seems to know his shit.

Thanks! and Thanks?

Fair warning, its about 7 minutes long

Ray, STRIKES AGAIN! I don't if hes mentally handicap, shit for brains or just a terrible memory.. either way.. here it is. Ray's e-mail to me yesterday: " still got that front bumper? Willing to ship it? http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/mcy/3659590916.html " My reply. Keeping in mind i have it listed for $10: "Yes i still have it, and i will personally ship it to your house off Hayes. But as far as price goes.. I'm not going to sell you my bumper for $10. Since in your eyes my bumper is worth $59.99. And mine looks 100x better than yours, that means mine should be worth about, what, $75? I'll tell you what though, ill give you a chance to make up for trying to pull one over on me not once, but now three times!!!! And I'll sell it to you for $25.. Again, just like I've offered you before, I'm still leaving PLENTY of profit for you to turn around and make at LEAST 50% profit if not more. In any business Ray, i don't care what you do, but if you're turning around anything near 50% profit, you're doing something right. The choice is yours.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-Banshee-1987-2006-front-ATV-bumper-guard-SILVER-/290836945116?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item43b73b98dc Have a great day!" I've had this same talk with him about 3 times, not the same part/s definitely the same posting. Still patiently awaiting his response.. ----------------------------------------- In reply to "if you live in MI you get decent stuff".. Somewhat of a true statement, only because you have the opportunity to pick through his garbage pile, & hopefully you'll find that diamond in the rough. NEVER would i EVER buy a thing from him off e-bay, I've read/heard of countless times where people receive parts that do NOT resemble the quality of part shown in the picture. Hence the name "Rattle can Ray" I understand he's in business to sell used parts, but like I've said before: If its yours, its worth $10. If its Ray's, its worth $50

Mr.Bling, FTW! Like Joe said, ^ you get what you pay for

So he just did a repost on his famous listing.. http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/for/3661207460.html So, I decided to email him "I'll give you $100 for everything, where are you located? i can come right now." I know this has to be him too.. http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/for/3661233061.html i need to find a picture of Ray and meme the shit out of it. "says will pay 2000 for banshee, running or not.... Shows up, offers $250"

So i decided to put some nice "stocker" parts up on Detroit metro Craigslist.. I've done this before but it was about a year or two ago, and i got a similar response from good old Ray VanSteenkiste aka rattle can ray. The first time this went down Here is my link.... http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/mcy/3659590916.html All parts totaled up equal $190.. Here's how it went down.. This was Ray's first response.. "I'll give you $75 cash for everything if you drop it off at 28 and hayes. the exhaust has the rubber connectors right?" My Reply, subject: "Oh rattle can Ray.. SMH" "You would give me $75 for everything, Ray. Do the math, you are $115 short. Do you think i don't know who you are and what you're going to do with these parts? You know just as well as i do, that the prices listed are fair and you can still turn around and make a profit. You are a disgrace to the banshee community, So please, don't even waste your time replying back with your bull shit "with ebay fees and cost of listing, pay pall bla bla bla the best i can do is $80, sorry" $150 for everything or gtfo. Thanks! :)" Rays reply to above ^ "Nevermind, I thought you would want to get rid of all of it at once, instead of selling it to 10 different people. Rattle can ray, give me a break!" And then, like Jerry Springer, i had some final thoughts.. "Its just amazing how if you own it its worth $50 and if i own it its worth $5 To answer your questing, yes the exhaust comes with the rubber." Rays final words "Nevermind, good luck selling your stuff. I wish you the best." What a nice guy, that Ray

I'll be there

That bike is like a set of perfect tits! Nice!

Bike looks great! I would start with some nice rims and tires first. Then Pro-peg nerf bars, shocks & V-Bars. I don't see how changing the seat cover would make a huge difference in the look. Personally, I like the all black seat. I do plan on ditching my seat cover in the near future but only because of that silver strip i have on my stock seat cover.

They are called V-bars & can be found here @ Cascade Innovations
