Has anyone picked one of these up before...?

What's the terrain, dirt, gravel? Yeah I doubt asphalt tires have ANY traction... Miami? I live in Naples so I bet our terrains are similar... mixed dirt to beach sandish? (Majority being sand...but not likes dunes.)

What swingarm are you buying? (Link please.)

LOL! I run Razr2s...only other thing I have ran are the stockers, so. My only complaints would be weight, road wear, and digging in beach sand @ low RPMs. (Once you hit powerband on T5s, they pick up and you can float across it though.) Other than that, they rip and roost hard!!

I've seen it already in the car world...it's BS... I actually bought a kit because of the guarantee I knew I could get a full refund. (And I did.) It was similar to a trolling motor on a boat, inside of a shell, that produced maybe 3 mph winds.

This thread sucks lol.

You PA boys catch on fast...don't you... :happy:

I was going to help a brotha out and give him my full black fenders for his white race cut and try and paint 'em...he wanted full and I wanted cut, so I thought I'd help. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work... But either way...I will be repainting my BLACK fenders BLACK (just fresh paint!). I'm putting new graphics on, and wanted fresh paint for it. What sand paper will take 'em down to where I need to be? I said no spray paint because IMO it generally looks shitty...my bike isn't old enough to half ass it yet... I figured airbushing them would give me a better quality. I KNOW AIRBRUSHING IS STILL PAINT, I SAID NO SPRAY PAINT, NOT NO PAINT!!! Spray paint = shitty. I want something a notch better...doesn't have to be full on custom air brush graphics by Mr. whoever...

If all the infor checks out alright, and it is truly low compression...rebuild that beast... I agree completely with "blowit." Rebuild it before engine failure...or it's going to be way more expensive and a PITA down the road... $300 and 2 weeks @ Herr Jugz...

How much did it drop it? How did the ride change?

PM'd

My 2005 Special Edition agrees to that theory lol. I guess it's not special anymore...I ripped that shit off...

Anything cheaper than $100? I just need the lever.

Lost my kick lever a while ago...anyone have one laying around, or a good place to buy one? I'd rather have it black and not an aftermarket billet or chrome one. Stock is fine, don't need anything special.

I would throw them away...or use them as paper weights, door stoppers, anything like that...

I dont know, it was just cool to be watching TV and randomly see a Shee. :biggrin:

Anyone else see that Banshee trying to hydro plane across the lake?

I figured he is running mostly stock gear, since he is trying to nig rig a simple cross over tube... I think most of us would spend the money and buy quality parts.... so I figured if he has a budget when looking for a cross over tube, he must have no mods because he has no budget for that either, lol... I'm still on stock shit too as far as carbs go, so I have the stock intake... I'll probably be asking ya about this when I get new carbs and intake SP...

I didn't know FMFs (and his bike) could turn 20,000 RPMs...

A used crossover tube isn't expensive at all...I'm sure someone even has one laying around... Spend the money to find one, or sell your 'Shee...cause I'd hate to see what you're going to use on your next top end rebuild...

It says if there is any discrepancies between the listing and the actual bike, they will work out a compromise, or fix it... Bid $10,000.00 on it, then after you win, bitch there's no 68mm carbs, and no alky lock up... Then if those rare items would cost around $7,000.00 themselves, you just got a piece of shit drag bike for an easy $3,000.00

Lol, Loco... I'd agree along the lines of what Loco said about overheating and power gains...from what I have heard they aren't worth the trouble...you'll lose a good amount of reliability...

It has multiple Coolheads...gotta keep that $9,000.00 beast cool....lol... IMO, it looks like hell. Hate the colors, hate the tires, hate how the frame is setup...

Set your timing to +4 when you get that head and domes on, that's the most common "best running setting."

Retorque it afer a few hours of ride time... Just make sure they are tight still...
