You can get a set from "2twin350s". I believe that one guy got a refund so there is one extra set I think available at the club price if they still havent sold them to someone else. Just PM him and see. If they dont have a set then they will be more expensive for the pipes. The last word we heard was three more weeks and they will be done making them. :ermm:
-
Invoice: Shouldnt the invoice come from 2twin350 to you being as he is the distributer and you the buyer? I dont know but they should get back to you soon. Its a long waiting game with these pipes. Way longer than expected. Once they come in, they will contact everyone and send out invoices for final payment for those who still have an outstanding remaining balance. :cool:

Dang. Discount Tire only charges me 4 bucks per tire. Its way cheaper than 22 per tire at the bike shop.

beware of the Turbinator!

This was definately a repeat but sure interesting loking idea. Id love to see some dyno results on a stock banshee with this on it. The air swirl idea has been in use for years with engines, carbs etc. I asked the dude to send us one for testing and show us all that it does work. I explained that with thousands laughing at his product he could prove the claims by sending one for us to test and return to shut up our sceptacism. I doubt that he will be so confident but who knows. My guess is that if he doesnt have any confidence in the product that he will refuse the testing and continue to be ridiculed. -
gauging interest in custom graphics
R. Rollins replied to official_style's topic in General Banshee Discussion
My buddy works for a sign company and does these decals for his work. I took a tour of the facility a few weeks ago and he was giving me all sorts of info on the machines that make the decals. (one machine costs $125,000 bucks ) it does the 3m process decals at full color high resolution. Thats one hell of a start up cost for a small business to absorb up front. After looking at all the costs of the supplies involved with it I will have his company do some rather than consider my mediocre art skills at going out and buying the $40,000 software package that goes with the machine. Another thing to consider. If you cannot compete with the high resolution imaging of the expensive computer driven machines then business would likely suffer in the long run. I would think... :ermm: -
TV is for the Liberals as the liberals control what is printed and what is on TV. We had Journalists in out tent with us with the command group. Those bastards did not disclose the fact that we had to have bottled water shipped in from Saudi Arabia because the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers were contaminated with SARIN a nerve agent. The water purification units that we would normally use to purify river water into drinking water could not purify out the contaminants. But yet all civilians believe that there were no weapons of mass destruction over there. Nerve agent IS a weapon of mass destruction. We got attacked by Sadam while we were still in Kuwait, so Iraq started it. Note: We were going to attack Iraq any how but He did attack us first this last go round. If the news is not sensationalized enough then it never gets out to the public. Sensationalism sells newspapers. Sadam had used an agent similar in nature to agent orange and had de-foliated all of the wetlands next to the rivers and canals so that we could be attacked easily and would have little or no places to hide in while we attacked him. We had no tents when we first got there because a sand storm had blew down the whole camp, did that get reported to the media. No. We had bad magazines in our pistols that had stretched out springs in them and could not get replacements for them. It did not get reported. We went out on missions that had thousands upon thousands of starving people all along the roads and we would throw out our MRE meals to them and skip chow ourselves but the good never gets reported. I hate reporters, they remind me of those pesky papazzatzi that bug the hell out of Movie stars. Those Iraqi people needed us there so badly that I would go again If they needed me.

I just spoke with " Kellen Kerbs Inside Sales Advantage Performance Distributing He tells me that some small part went on back order and that it will take two or three more weeks to get them finished. Man ohhh man. Also they have no info on noise testing done on them but that they are far the loudest pipes they have. I asked him on sound arresters for the pipes and he said thay they are working on those as well. Patience I guess Is all we have left.

WOW now thats one cool ass lookin T-shirt. I like the shaded appearance of the Banshee. Take that One and then place the New BHQ logo on it and see what it looks like.

Who says we are purposefully killing civilians?? The modern military does not just go around caping rounds off into the civilian population. They follow strict rules of engagement and strict guidelines of humane treatment of prisioners of war as well as attempt to win over the hearts of thier occupied territories of operation. Generals, commanders, and military tacticians take into account all civilian casualty risk factors when deciding to use force with explosive weapons and smart munitions. Thats why those pin point targeting videos you see all over the internet are so popular. Its not cheap but it gets mostly all the bad guys instead of killing hundreds or even thousands of innocent civilians like in previous conflicts 50 or more years ago. (911) was terrorists comming over here and killing hundreds of people with planes. They attack the internet daily. They send drugs over here daily. They come over here illegally daily. Let the oil interests and natural resources interests for the USA fail with the weakening of our force prescense worldwide and see if we ever get it back. We influence world trade through the military peace favors we do worldwide. Thats how I have viewed it when I traveled all over this planet. Just my opinion now but, Ive thought about the same things you are saying over the years but now feel that its a necessary evil. Its like we have to maintain the strength in readiness or we lose it all. (Sure we could bring all world deployed troops home and set up new US bases to house them all, but then we lose our ability to be a force in readiness for instant reaction to world conflicts that affect our way of life....things like cheap gasoline, China's most favored trade status, resource s trade with other countries etc...) I guess what Im rambling on about is I like the safety of the USA. I have traveled all over and many countries you have to go places in large groups to keep from getting robbed, killed or kidnapped. I do not want the kids or you all to have to fear for your families so I did something about it for a large portion of my life. I served because I wanted to make that difference, and of course all the women at all those far away ports.....lol I loved blowing up stuff with explosives and shooting machine guns, rockets missiles, morters and artillery rounds while I was in. Practice makes perfect.. The poor people and homeless of this country will never be fixed with the withdrawl of the military. Jobs would only go away with military withdrawl. The war machine creates thousands on thousands of jobs here . Gun manufacturers, bullet makers, vehicle producers, plane builders would all go away with another military reduction in forces as happened in the 1994 time frame under Clintons administration. Many bases closed and jobs went away. Now look at them, trying to get more than a whole division of Army re-activated.... again we found it seems that the military is too small to do what we expect it to do. :cool:

Welcome to the Banshee HQ: You now have to show us all what your Banshee looks like soon. There are many here to help you on your choices but you must first do alot of reading of the threads on here. After you do some or at least a little research then you can ask alot better more informed questions instead of just simply having every one and thier dog just throw stuff at you on what you should do. This is just a thought but get your K&N air filter or something similar and then research a plug chop proceedure after you install the pipe system and Filter. You can then get back on here and pull up videos on Carb Sync, jetting and the plug chop and fine tune for the pipes and elevation. Go and start reading through the search buttons here all the categories that you are interested in and believe me it has most likely been discussed and there is info on it here. Id definately know what jets are on your carbs before I began to call for help with the guys here on the HQ. Once you have your parts installed its easier to have them help you and get you the valuable feedback you are going to need. Get a Clymer manual and start reading. If you dont have one there is even a download manual available here as well. Nitro Tate even has a Banshee video that he sells that shows much of everything you need to know. Many of these guys are masters at these engines and have given advise that amazes me on the details they offer to the members. Good luck man; Ray......
-
I dont know: I feel your pain man. Im dreading trying to dial in the jetting all over again for them but I needed to do it any how as the K& N air filter will be going on at the same time. If we dont hear anything by the end of the month I would be suprised as last week they were supposedly finishing the end caps for the mufflers. Maybe it will meet the 2010 noise restrictions.......(NOT)....lol Tammy will let us know soon we all hope. Ray sends...... :ermm:

Sorry Man. :cool:

Hey with that Bachelors degree under your belt you can now submit a package for OCS "Officers Canidate School" if you can get a recomendation from some high ranking officers and up to and including your CO. If you have an (MOS) Military Occupational Specialty that rates a Warrant Officer its an option for you as well. Congrats on that Degree: OOOOHHHHHRRRAAAAHHH Marine> :thumbsup: Let your education continue on: Its brainpower that will get you ahead when you get out. Go on and start working on your Masters if you can before you get out, Use that 911 GI bill when It begins this August 2009. Stay Motivated. And If you get the chance: Get a terrorist for all of us.

1987 Suzuki Lt500 (Quadzilla) for sale/trade
R. Rollins replied to liveordie72089's topic in For Sale - Parts & Accessories
The quad looks nice, but the economy is crap. There is a Quadzilla here in the Denver craigslist I saw thee days ago for $1,800 and it looked almost as good as yours. I can tell lately that the downturn in the economy is affecting all used bike prices badly. I hope you sell it for that amount. It looks great. Good luck -
We servicemen have many of those same thoughts as well. We all wanted to use that new bomb that was mad just for Sadam. The "MOAB" bomb...stands for mother of all bombs. Its a conventional bomb that packs one hell of an explosion. We all wanted to just drop 4 or 5 of them on Bagdad and forget about them all. The bigger picture was that Kuwait was being invaded during teh Gulf War, Asked for help as Sadam threatened to also invade Saudia Arabia after Kuwait. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iraq together hold Most of the worlds 2/3 oil supply. It was Ill bet a political move that in order to have the USA continue to hold onto our oil reserves that are only approx 20% of the world supply and save it for later use. They most likely decided that If Americans wanted to continue to have the same oil prices and way of life without the $8.00 per gallon as the rest of the world, That we had to do something. Just my guess. I was over there to kill rag heads and send them back to ALLAH. No seriously: we had a mission of bounding through the townships and citys and going straight to Bagdad. This is WITHOUT clearing the towns we went through along the way. So the small pockets of resistance and weapons were still there and are now I assume. If they attacked us they would have gotten the smoking 25mm (GAU-12) Gattlin gun across thier asses at the firing rate of 1800 rounds per minuite.....hehe They saw it and never came at us. On another note: Troops now days are total professionals; They are seasoned experts at warfighting and ask only for the political leaders to make good well informed decisions when they ask us to do something. (I allways hoped so). If we were to go back there and clear all those townships like they did in WWII they would have to have over 500,000 troops over there. We dont have that many troops to do it as it is due to the democratic reduction of forces that took place in the Clinton administration years ago. I am almost to believe that Afganistan is of no value at all to anyother country for its resources so I dont get that one at all. I aggree that we could just pull out of that country all together and it would not affect anything , but I havent been there so I cant comment on it but from an uninformed opinion standpoint. We could save many Billions of dollars by getting out of the world police force all together but there are only one renewable resource out there........(forrests) All others are resources that once depleted cannot be gotten back or renewed. I think all this positioning is about resources interests as well as the other crap they argue about. What do you all think is a second reason. What are your opinions on what would happen if we would just leave them (IRAQ & Afganistan) and just bring all the troops home? Damn: Am I long winded or what...

Right on : Tell your brother he will have the most memoriable experience of his life there; Sometimes its not only srving our forces but those peoples in other countries that have not the means to help themselves. It is humbling to think that we ARE appreciated for all we do around the world. Troops help rescue churches in need of assistance through the Chaplins offices overseas, they do road building, infrastructure repairs and delivery of food assistance reliefs in emergencies worldwide. Be proud of your brother and write him letters often. Beef jerkey, sunflower seeds, copenhagen, cigarettes, gum, bike magazines and DVD`s of movies are all troop favorites. Send the troop you know some gum a magazine and a note of appreciation. It really brings up the spirits.

Hey I believe there is a video of the Carb sync in the top of the videos section. Check it out.

Just what I thought: there you go again; Running your mouth all big and tough in front of your buds. You remind me of a dry shit stain that irritates the hell out of my ass. Stop being a total waste sitting in your daddys basement and do some real business by showing them what they want to see.
-
Thats way better: Wow I just looked at your engine "I think" of that bike shown on the right. How long did it take to get it shoehorned in there? How much expense was involved in the project? It looks like a blast to ride.

I was there twice in Iraq: Both times all I saw was the appreciation from the people that we were there. The thousands of people lining the roads as we entered Iraq. The only people that I know of that were killed by any units from the different forward bases I was at were from Iran. Pakistan, Syria and Lebanon and were terrorists. Our rules of engagement served us well. The laws of war serve us as well also. Dont assume that the media is shoving you all truths. Unless it is sensationalized news it doesnt sell. Unless you went to Iraq you wouldnt know that all of us there drank bottled water from Saudi Arabia because the Tigres and Euphrates Rivers were both contaminated with Sarin(Nerve Agent" and all teh dust over there registered out electronic NBC detectors null because the dirt was so contaminated with it. We troops breathed all that shit for the means of finishing this war and getting home. Dont tell me that we didnt find shit of weapons of mass destruction over there. I know better. I went with the NBC team and watched them test the water and dust all around the camp at JFOB and LSR Anderson etc... I drove past the canals that Sadam used chemical defoliants on that were similar in nature to DDT which desimated all plant growth from the northern end to the southern center end of Iraq along the highway. People were allowing children to bathe in that contaminated water until the military explained what those chemicals would do to thier health. Kids living in mud huts begging for food and water. gleaming the fields for twigs to burn for food cooking and heating. Everyone that has never been to Iraq hasnt a clue about those weapons of mass destruction: Weapons of mass destruction include(Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical weapons). Point: Sadam used chemical weapons(mustard gas i believe it was, To kill thousands of Kurds right????? Point: Sadam had his chemical weapons facilities dismantled but yet residue Chemical weapons agents "residue"were detected found in the desserted plant Point they found 6 nerve gas mortar rounds during the war and publisized it in the news. He publically claimed that he had the weapons and planned to use it before we went to war. Also before Bush being one of the first standing presidents to ask congress(democratic congress) to declare war. Bush asked first: Do your research. I am a Marine, I lived it. Before you all get your ideas that we are at war with Iraq we are not: The Iraq war is over. We are still at war with terrorism. No ethical country would conquer and leave no infrastructure in place after winning the war. No good people would simply walk away and say fend for yourselves. If more of you high spirited people would join and see for yourselves personally then we would not have the ranting and bitching about the war. Saying that you tried to join doesnt cut it for me to continue to listen or read your points if you didnt complete your training and actually get in the military. All it tells me is that you are not military material, and are not able to cope with real time stresses. It shows that even the easiest branch of service wouldnt have you. Furthermore: Crying about little Johnny and his lost legs doesnt do a thing for him; Show him the respect that he or she deserves and give them your friendship. They dont want your pity: They fought, they got injured for you and they are proud of that. I lost many friends there; I am forever grateful to have served with them: Please do not belittle any commander in chief (Bush or Obama). By doing so understates our strength as a nation to other nations. Obama finally went to Afganistan and pledged his support to the Afganistan president. This is something he had not previously planned when he was running. He finally saw for himself the conditions over there and decided that ethically we cannot just abandon the situation like cowards. If you cannot serve the nation either in missionary work, volunteer work or military or political service at least once in your life. You are surely missing out on a rewarding part of your life. After doing alot of rebuild projects with the civilian people and seeing them get clean water and electricity after years of having none it was all worth it. I did my friggin time; I served this great nation and didnt question my leaders and do not now even with Obama whom I did not vote for. None the less. He is my president now; He will do what is right I hope. "Semper Fi" Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines, Oh yes ....and Coastguard too both active duty and reserve. R.

Wow what a smart kid you are son. I ask simple questions and get imature unethical responses. Why would anyone buy without seeing what they are buying? Evidently you do it all the time. It just shows what a worried little boy you are. I wouldn't buy squat from someone like yourself. Premimum membership hasn't a thing to do with posting what the hell you are peddeling there boy. People who cry out as you do are surely seemingly worried about looking tough in front of others. I have nothing to worry about trying to impress others. Your immaturity shows well boy.

I really dont know what you just wrote?? I honestly dont know, Not trying to sound rough, but please try to write using at least some punctuation. I dont think Ive ever corrected any spelling here but, you run your sentences together and lose the reader somewhere.

Wow it looks like my uncles Ranger Bass boat colors. Ive never seen Powdercoat like that before. Really cool man. :cool:
