So Cal Suspension

No problem! Post up some pics after you get your battery and everything mounted. Lots of people like to see that stuff.

I'm sure you'll be just fine, but if you want to have Gary re-wind your stator for added peace of mind, that wouldn't be a bad idea. It's up to you, but I think you'll be fine.

Yeah, most people never notice that it draws on the battery, since they ride all day with the lights off, so it charges. You could probably run for 12-15 hours straight on a 10ah battery with normal riding.

Yes, a stock stator puts out roughly 72-74 watts, best case scenario on AC current. Once switched to DC current, we typically see 60-65 watts.

We've seen a loss of 5-10 watts depending upon the condition of your stator.

You're beating a dead horse with this guy. There have been dozens of people with his exact setup that go to even a BASIC aftermarket Banshee setup and notice a WORLD of difference. You just gotta do what everyone else does, chuckle and move on.

I've never filed a claim for a recreational vehicle, but I know my insurance company has an "agreed amount" as do most insurance companies. (Generally a stock replacement bike, plus any aftermarket parts) My single seat sand car doesn't have a vin, but it is insured against theft, liability insurance isn't available, as it is a race-vehicle only. Most golf carts don't have vins either, and they are insurable. You can insure practically anything. Wedding rings, for example. When I had my banshee, the only reason it was insured against theft, was because it was included with the policy. I couldn't "opt out" with my particular insurance company. It was covered both under my liability policy, as well as my umbrella policy, if I were in injure myself, or someone else while riding. My point in the other thread, was that filing a claim on a damage that costs less than your deductible... If it was stolen, definitely it'd be worth filing the claim since you have NOTHING. I wouldn't file a claim for a chain wack, was my point.

Obviously it depends on prior claims, number of policies, etc. I may be wrong here, but wasn't this thread about "theft", and not damage? I would hope that someone wouldn't file an insurance claim for $300 in damage. If it was a total loss, and the bike was stolen, it'd probably be worth filing the claim. I thought that was pretty elementary...?

Haha you both are going to be stoked with those swingarms. John and I have been talking about doing a full suspension package. It's something in the works, and I think it'll be awesome. Tons of bikes out there already run a JL Engineering swingarm with my shocks, so it was only a matter of time before we are able to put together a complete bolt-on package.

You can fix your stock kicker easily. Take it apart, and put a 1/8" o-ring on top of the little ball. Slap some grease on it, and never thing about it again.

You're going to be stoked with that swinger. John builds awesome stuff.

Obviously taking quotes out of context MIGHT work, but in this event it won't. The quotes in question were regarding a $300 damage done to a bike via a chain wack. Not a total loss, nor a theft of said vehicle. Nice try though...

Haha this is now the 3rd time this bike has been posted.

I'd just do the -1.5" from JL. DDQ loves his...

Oh okay. I wasn't sure exactly what his setup was. Whatever you need to cut, grind, or remove will be well worth it with that arm.

Pretty sweet little setup here. Just a quick question for anyone who might want to know... I noticed it says stock width, but are these + forward at all?

Rusty, did you miss the date of the thread? lol. I think WAFFENSS posted here accidentally.

What's up buddy. There's quite a few members in Wichita, so you're in luck if you need a part real quick, or just someone to help out!

Check with DDQ. He runs JL's -1.5, and he also runs nerfs. Also, that -1.5 is an awesome size. -1 isn't quite enough, but in some cases -2 is too much. He did great with the -1.5...

These are some FMF pipes I got off craigslist for 100 bucks, with silencers. I was in a bind and desperately needed pipes before my shearers were done. I used them for one trip, and they sat in my garage for a few months. I got bored one day and decided to see what was underneath that black BBQ paint... This is what they looked like with NOTHING but being stripped with paint stripper. No polishing or anything. Not bad for 15 minutes!

I send everyone who calls me looking to buy Elkas to BVC.

I found a picture of him and his blaster buddies out for a sunday ride.

LOL @ KOC racing...

FYI, this guy has no credibility. He spray paints blaster engines. Here is his picture so you can stay away from him. He touches little boys. As far as getting free parts, there are plenty of people that would be willing to donate SOME stuff, but you're not going to find any high dollar hard parts for free. What all are you looking for?

...southeast Georgia. Close enough to Florida...
