because we all dont have the oppertunity to try before we buy i though id share my expirence with the trinity modded shift drum, shift pro kit and cascade shift star.
the first question you ask is, do i need this? then you go looking for reviews and prices before you determine if its a go or a no.
ill first start out with the cascade shift start witch can be bought from thier website for around $40

i cant really speak on what these will do alone, but these really do make shiftting a shit ton easier and neutral a bit more easier to locate.
in addition to the star you can also purchase the shift pro kit from cascade witch in combination with the shift star allows the shift segment the roll smooth without miss shifts.

i dont have a picture of this installed on my bike, but all it is a ball bearing roller on a lighter spring that is optimized so you dont have to jam on the shifter. these go for around $70 but like i said in combination with the star you have the smoothist shift you can ask for in a bike.
last but not least, when i was doing my build my shift drums bearing were shot. my only option was to replace it, but stock isnt enough to drive my passion for banshees. i locate one of these on ebay for $114 shipped to me
this one is made by trinity, what it does is the oem shift drum dosnt have a bearing on the neutral cover side, making shifting a bit ruff due to friction. so trinity machines the non-bearing side down to press fit a bearing to further promote smooth shifting. take a look at this picture.
oem vs modded
you can purchase them from here, its the third item down http://www.trinityracing.com/prod_yam_banshee_parts.html
i know this a bit extream and comes at a tottal of around $220 but i spare no expense when building my bike. if your sick of how you bikes shifts, cant find neutral, or keep miss shifting here a 3 products you can add to your wish list. when i was done assembling my engine i honestly though i forgot something because shifting seemed to easy.
all 3 of these are great products!!!!! dont hesitate to buy
