Lol. I see what you did there.

So I take it ....no pix?

Let me clarify. .The OP had reservations about the product before installing? That's where personal responsibility kicks in. Right then he should have called DD with his concerns and I bet anything they would had told him to ship them back. That being said..i would have never ran them welded/ designed like that.

What about personal responsibility? Are you one of those people that blindly does whatever someone says ..and then always Blame someone else when things go bad? We always have to rely on common sense and realize that ultimately our safety is OUR responsibility in this sport.

I don't disagree that the weld looks shoddy and it would have been better if welded all the way around. I'm just saying that junk like that happens sometimes in this sport (inferior products OR possible abuse/unintended use by customer) an racing in general. That's all I'm saying.

I have 4 that I will send you for FREE.... IF you post a picture of yourself sitting on your banshee holding a sign that is dated with your screen name on it. If you do, you get the dampeners and an apology from me...until then buzz off troll.

Like this ( this example is using the right hand method).

Nope. All you have to do is mount it up , get on your hands and knees behind the bike , use your pointer finger and thumb in the shape of an ell (LEFT HAND ONLY) and gently place it on your forehead.

^^^^^ If that deal works, I'll take the paddles. You have cell. Thanky.

Didn't I read they gave you a new set to replace the broken ones?..sounds like they made it as "right" as any hi performance parts company would. Sad to say, but that's the way it works with aftermarket/hi performance parts...no guarantees. It's racing after all. Sure it'd be nice if they hadn't broke on you, but it happens in racing and racing components.

I sent a PM offering to meet up with him and give his bike a thoural going over since we don't live too far apart and I travel to Durant for work periodically. ..no reply. Oh well.

It's pretty much unavoidable in some cases.

If you already have some good V3s. .then no..it's not worth "upgrading" thinking you will gain much imo. There's better ways to gain a couple HP of less money..depending on what you already have done and what Hp level you're at now. If you need reeds anyway ..I'd definitely go straight to the V4's of course. If your current reeds are in good shape and you aren't putting down a ton of Hp already. ... wouldn't waste my $$$.

Your welcome. Saved you a ton of money.

See folks..This is what you get when you buy Oregon based clues.

Re - troll. .....

Why would anyone want to do that?

I was going to say that if you haven't beefed up your budget from what it was before..it'll never happen. It's going to cost more to do a conversion than for you to find a good running trail banshee...like you wanted before.

Did you call turbochassis on here? Great prices for quality. Something literally holding your butt up isn't the place to focus on cheap.

I hope there's something out there that grips better than razrs..The 2 sets I had SUCKED. My old turf tamers hooked better.

What ever happened to Dave Moore? I had 2 of his engines back in the day when it was MP Racing.

Shakes are needed to a point. They make a convenient way to "fill in the gaps" and get that little extra you need. But they aren't as complete a source of nutrients as real food. Back when i was lifting regularly, i always saw marked gains in strength and energy when i did the "caveman" style of eating , over relying on shakes and other processed foods in general . Veggies from the farmers market and whole meat from the butcher. ..now the last 4 years I really let my eating an training go out the window..plus started on the beers pretty heavy...and it resulted in fat gains. I've since quit the beer and have started on the diet that worked for me in the past. 1gram of whole food protein per lb of lean muscle,2 handfuls of fresh veggies per meal, post and pre workout nutrition, and no more junk food. It's already working. Starting my workout program back again ( modified 5x5)and I'm sure it'll net good results as well. It's simple, yes, but it always worked for in the past.

Mercury content. Not an issue at "normal" amounts of consumption, but when you're eating 3-4+ cans a day, it doesn't hurt to be safe.
