What the hell is a skin?

^^^^^^^^^ king of the gays.

PM sent for the clamp.

[safarian doesn't even sell chrome pipes]

I got your messages. I'm going to PM you my cell phone number and you can call me on that whenever you get a chance.

For fuck's sake, dude...

But all the cool kids do it...

Possum vs Temecula Look the fuck out.

Oh fuck. Lookout. Possum wants to start fighting people... Shit just got real over da interwebz.

Post the address to where your funeral will be held when you finally test this abomination. We'd like to send the Westboro Baptist church over.

Please don't post any pictures, or anything else. Ever.

No one is going to help you unless you learn to use commas and periods once in a while.

If the width of the bike is not of concern, go with long travel. If you ride narrow trails often, stick with standard travel, stock width. Axis shocks are the best shocks money can buy, in my somewhat educated opinion. Seal tolerances, quality of material, and customer service is the best in the industry. Personally, I am not a huge fan of Fox Floats, yet. I say it time and time again, and it seems like I get more and more foxes in here with the same problem. Guy puts floats on his trail bike, follows his buddy, and gets the front of his bike pelted by rocks over and over. Dings, chips, and nicks develop in the sealing surface of the air spring, and the air chambers slowly lose air pressure, and you're done riding until you fix the shocks. With coil over shocks, if the shock blows out? Oh well, keep riding. You've got springs holding the bike up. Sure, coilovers don't give you infinite adjustability, but if you have a shock that is properly set up, you should never need to adjust anything. It's mostly a gimmick, but lots of people want to be able to dick with their shocks constantly, so people pay for it.

You know what just happened? Mike B and Aaron are the same person. He accidentally responded to a post using the wrong name and tried to cover it up.

Fixed.

Post a picture of the shocks.

Death is imminent.

If you can get some vice grips on the very bottom of the shaft, you should be able to unthread the rod end. It's gonna fuck up the shaft, but if you do it at the very base with the spring out of the way, it won't matter.

450 shocks use a C-shaped spring retainer. I'm not sure banshee shocks work that way. Once you have the shock in a spring compressor, you should be able to move it around and see what needs to come off.

You need a spring compressor, and I BELIEVE once you have the tension off of the spring, the lower eyelet unthreads off the shaft. I don't know though, I have never messe with those pogo sticks.

do... do you even read what is posted here?

Well, I will never own a bike that runs on anything other than pump gas. I have a 535 cheetah that runs on pump gas. The horsepower loss isn't drastic enough for me to want to pay $8 a gallon for race gas. I'd rather be able to pump it straight from my trailer into a 5 gallon can, and not have to worry about running out because I didn't buy enough. You don't gain power just simply by running high octane fuel. That is a misconception. The reason you run high octane fuel, is because it burns slower, which allows you to run much higher compression, and more advanced timing. The power increase comes from those two things, rather than the fuel itself.

Couldn't agree more. Ditch those T5's. They are one of the worst pipes to run on mx porting. PC's are the way to go. They can be purchased pretty cheap, or you might be able to find someone to swap you straight across for your t5's. Regarding your timing advance question, absolutely. Go to +4.

Ok, here goes. Don't do it. You're going to die. Moving your a-arm pivots outwards even with proper materials is one of the worst things you can do unless this thing is going to be 100% asphalt, and you won't even be hitting a bump larger than a crack in the road. Also, why are you designing a kit that is already available on ebay for next to nothing? 3 inches per side, works like shit, dangerous, and shouldn't be legal to sell. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-Banshee-350-A-arms-Shocks-ATV-Widening-Kit-6-/310217237573?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item483a636445&vxp=mtr
