V Force 3s vs 4s... 10mil on the dyno
WINDYCITYJOHN400 replied to sand-a-holic's topic in Product Reviews
FFS! Next somebody is going say the stuffers hurt performance......99.8% just talking out their ass. 75% haven't even held a set in their hand let alone TEST a set. But everybody has to say something to look like they know something......... -
Whats the best way to clean a seat cover?
WINDYCITYJOHN400 replied to Skidmark's topic in Banshee Appearance
Well, if the dirt is from 06'….that stain is pretty set in by now. Better sell the bike and start from scratch. -
V Force 3s vs 4s... 10mil on the dyno
WINDYCITYJOHN400 replied to sand-a-holic's topic in Product Reviews
That's fine. I'm just saying I did the R&D on the 4's for MT and in OUR testing the A/F ratios were dialed in to be equal so we could get a true comparison. NOTE: That is why I'm always saying go up one pilot size, because the 4's need the extra fuel to get the A/F back in check. Making more power from leaning down a motor is NOT a way to prove power. Making more power after going fatter is proof that more power is being made without dancing with the devil. 4's make more power than 3's both on the top end AND bottom end. They even make more power than 3's that have the stuffer mod done. (Yeah I tested that too.) So say what you want about THIS test......But the 4's are all they claim them to be. And really guys....just we're talking about $200 for some reeds. Nobody is getting screwed either way. -

^^^^^ This kind of disbelief was covered on page one as seen below. vvvvv -
LMFAO........I just daylight savings timed my own ass. (I got burnt by daylight savings this past spring and lost an hour of ride time) So I just had that on the brain. I should have just remembered (Fall) back to sleep for another hour vs. (Spring) out of bed, your an hour late. So...........do me a favor and when you get there and find me sleeping off the extra hour at the entrance gate (because I showed up an hour early) knock on the window of my truck and wake me up so I don't end up missing ride time. LOL

Seriously?............ Seriously?.......... ..........Ummm you're kidding right? No....Seriously? -
There was a test in Hot Rod or Car Craft years ago where they tested all the octane boosters out there. Basically the gist was that the product in the bottle would have to have the same combustable principles as Nitroglycerine for them to boost octane to the claimed levels. As for this product........Race gas is not simply chemicals added to pump gas. This product is listed on their website....but they also choose NOT to list it's MOTOR OCTANE or other important qualities like it's specific gravity. I would steer clear of anything like that. Why do you need the higher octane? What is done to your bike?

You know I'm going.........I invited YOU! You're going to be Wes #2 for this trip. (I'm bringing Wes #1) Plus Bill and Chris will be riding with me as well. Rollin Rino is coming and bringing a friend. Frank the Tank said he was going to try to come and bring a buddy. So it's already shaping up to be a good ride.

Question about Nerf Bars
WINDYCITYJOHN400 replied to Strm Trpr's topic in General Banshee Discussion
Nickisgod ran the IMS 660 pegs and had a whole bastardized set up for foot peg/nerf/healguard/shifter. But it all worked mint and you would never know they were all parts for different bikes. He's not on all that much, but try PMing him and see if he sees it soon. If not PM me and let me know.....I have his number in an old PM or Email somewhere. But my phone is down today, so I can't get you his number right now. His set-up was sweet though. -
Then why fly out to dyno at Redline? Why don't you test these pipes where it matters? Find a hill....stack a pile of pipes to test at the bottom...let us know what your butt thinks. When it's all over we'll just all do what you do.....
-
The Athena's come as cast with some port timings that are pretty steep. It's peaky drag timings as is. But I'll give the win to your combo with your pipes and carbs. Correct tire/gear/set-up will be a deciding factor. Knowing how to ride will be a big help too.

Get the full bike kit from Alloy Bolts (on Ebay)for your new build. Remember....Anti-seize EVERY BOLT. Even the little ones for your plastics. Any bolt that doesn't get Anti-seize....should get blue lock-tite. Also...there will be a few items in the kit that won't work. Don't sweat it. Just stick with the stock stuff for those few items. If you cut the nice labeled bags....you can put the stock stuff in them and tape them closed and have a complete correctly labeled stock bolt kit ready for emergencies.

You're logged onto a website where the object is to read what people post. If you want less words.........block me, or stick to the images section. LOL

Yes YOU are the Juan around here. The one, the only. My family has been here since the Mayflower......no Juan in my DNA. But I DO love me some quality enchiladas!

.........And some haven't figured out that "corrected" settings on the dyno correct the numbers to sea level. So corrected numbers for a motor dyno'd in Denver would match corrected numbers if that same motor was dyno'd in Vegas or Jersey.
