Can't you fab up some motor mounts to isolate the vibration?

No mods to the cover at all afaik

You can get a faster turn around at some of the big builders. Money talks and bull$#!# walks That being said, quality takes time and that makes what tyler said extremely important. Not only do the bigger builders take time because they are backed up, but because they will probably spend the better part of a day or more doing YOUR cylinders. A full blown port job is light years ahead of a "cleanup" that some people like to call "porting". Big distinction there. "Porting" refers to changing the shapes, angles, timing, velocity, volume, surface finish, fluid dynamics, everything inside the cylinder. A good builder has designed their own ideal cylinder and port shape, and simply use the stock piece as a starting point to create THEIR cylinder. A cleanup does none of that, but simply improves upon what YAMAHA deemed to be best, and increase the af mixture coming in, and get the exhaust out a little quicker. Yes you will notice a difference from a cleanup, but the PORTING (good porting) is what makes the bike a pleasure to ride and allows you to be competitive in your chosen riding style. You should be able to give your builder your weight, riding style, planned mods, and budget and they should be able to spew back at you a recommended build without hesitation. What it boils down to is CALL the company / person you are thinking of using and TALK to them. I don't know about you but I can smell bs a mile away. Either they know what they are talking about or they don't. They will either have a plan and vision for what will be done with your cylinders before they ever arrive at they're shop, or they are going to dick around and "try a few things" at your expense of being a guinea pig. That being said, I can also vouch for brandon at wildcard racing. After meeting and talking to him at the mountain, not to mention seeing his stock cylinder / stock carb bike hand a few 4 mils their asses. I am extremely confident he knows what he is doing and talking about in terms of porting. He has tried many many combinations and found what works for him and what doesn't. I dont have to agree with him to know he knows quite a bit about porting and seeing his work run is even more proof. I guess the moral of the story is there is nothing wrong with giving the little guy a chance, just make sure you feel comfortable with them by getting to know them a little, and make sure they are willing to stick with you through the build to achieved your desired results. -Greg

Thanks Brandon. It's becoming even more of a sleeper as I slowly make it more and more duneable.

A larger carb won't pull as hard on the jet because of the decreased velocity and you will need a larger jet. I ran those carbs on my stock stroke and ran 270's I believe, but I'm at high elevation.

LMFAO, dont we all buddy, dont we all.

It's either the parking brake or TORS guys... Shouldn't be too hard to figure it out.

Just save up and do it right bro... You'll be happy you did. Build a 7mil, would be nasty.

Pm box emptied and all pm's replied, I think. If I missed you please pm me again.

I'd be interested in that. Posting from my phone so I will respond to all PMs when I get home. Thanks, Greg

No just normal cut

I sell a spray that would work better than bedliner. It's still a heavy duty black rubberized coating (actually have it in white and clear as well), but it isn't rough textured like the truck bedliner. Comes out of the can thin. I think I'm gonna use the black on my duner frame this winter. That or paint the frame and go over it with the clear.

Not really looking to part with it unless I can trade the other guy on a shock deal.

I think at this point its safe to say: you fail at banshee.

I have non plug spitting / non hoopdie pile I will trade for your plug spitting / hoopdie pile. Must include rear happy sauce tank and monster beast snow mo carbs. Would prefer hoopdie pile / walmart painted plastics and even more hoopdish rhino line framed be / repainted. Oh, and I really like using / typing this little guy tonight: "/". /Greg/

No, sorry.

You mean for the rear shock? I will have to look. Everything should be there though.

Yes, meaning the parking brake could be engaged. Couldn't tell you where the sensor is but make sure it's not engaged, and if it is release it lol. could still roll around if the brake isn't adjusted, and most of them aren't.

Marvin is in perfect shape and only about a year old. Not a whole lot of ride time on it. Not sure what spacers you're talking about???

Hanging on to the lockup so I have to keep the cover. We might be able to do something with the marvin and stator cover for your ohlins. Or stator cover and something else. I have another cascade clutch cover, just not set up for a lockup.

thinking around 50

Pic of Marvin

Heres a pic of the side cover.

Direct Drive lockup cover and Billet Stator cover with removable flywheel piece. Stamped with the Superman S logo. Might be willing to part with the billet stator cover but I'm hanging on the lockup

Ill have to measure the marvin for you. See my thread here http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=104075
