  1. Diesel Pickup Thread

    in Cars and Trucks

    I dont want to jump ship but ford is the only 1 of the 3 that you can get a bed from the factory on a 450/4500 class truck.  Id like the heavier truck for when im towing but do not want to deal with the flat bed bullshit.  Still really on the fence on if its worth it but who knows.  My opinion changes daily.

    I highly doubt that you would regret a 450 Ford for your towing needs.

    There's a very noticeable gain in towing stability and handlong manners going from my DRW F350 to my 550 pulling my heavy gooseneck.

    The brakes are definitely stronger too.

  6. Troubleshooting my new 4mil build

    i have a stock cylinder 4 mil with 66 bore.  no issues.  its not that the walls are too thin,  its the fact they dont make a piston for any bigger of a bore.  if i melt mine down, i am gonna look into nic plating the cylinders to give them life again, unless there is a smoking deal on aftermarket.  
     

    how big can you go before you have wall thickness issues? 
     

    Varies. Some 66mm is too much, others can go 66.50mm.

    The intake bridge porting will have some effect on cylinder life once you reach the 66.0 mm mark.

    From my experience with a 66.0 mm stock cylinder and aggressive intake porting, I would be very hesitant to go that route route again.

    I had both intake bridges cracking and ultimately break causing a catastrophic failure for me.

    I think Elka did the best they could with the linkage and anything better would require modifying the upper shock mount. I also think adding more travel than this will make the silencers start kissing the caliper.

    I would agree with this possibility.

    On my Laeger my right side silencer will contact the caliper.

    I had to install a 1/2" spacer on both silencers to angle them outward to create the clearance and a uniform look.

  15. Motocross banshee frame mods gusset kit ?

    Lastnline75 is correct, there is no Pro-Trax front available for an oem chassis.

     

    Laeger's only built the Pro-Trax front end to bolt to their 250R geometry banshee chassis.

     

    Laeger's did offer the Pro-Trax front end for most of the popular 450 four stroke bikes, a select few 400's, the original oem 250R and of course their own 250R Pro-Trax chassis bikes.

  23. Lone Star Banshee frame opinions?

    in General Banshee Discussion

    After speaking to some people who have done builds with aftermarket frames, the challenge is getting everything to bolt on perfectly.

    This is a valid concern.

     

    I experienced this when building my Laeger Pro-Trax chassis.

     

    Most everything fit, but many things did not fit the same as oem. A number of items had to be "massaged" into place.

     

    I have no idea if this holds true for one of these LSR oem replacement frames or not.

     

    I do know this, the chromoly frame and components of my Laeger have been far more durable then an oem frame in my experience.
