I have Front Works dual rate with rezzies that need full rebuild for $80 plus ship

How do you like the cylinders and tell me about the power increase? 421 or stock stroke?

What size of motor are you building and who's building it?

I could never afford going to a specialist in the states, I would be at the Mayo clinic in a heartbeat if I could. The fact that the biopsy came back stage 2 chondrosarcoma and is still growing leaves no options but amputation. There has been negligence IMO and I will look at options. I have been thinking of how in the hell could I ride anything let alone a banshee if I have no leg from the ass down.

They fucked up alright. At first they only checked my knee which was the obvious pls e because it had grown twice the size. Now they're going up and down the leg looking for more. The main problem is the Xmas season and my doctors are off until the 4th. That's why I put myself into emergency yesterday, so Romeo e would be forced to look at it.

Update. Back from hospital. They are seeing something on my upper femur near hip socket. CT scan booked for later this week, open biopsy next week. Major operation on Jan 8th. If the entire femur comes out I will be parting out. I don't believe the is an prosthetic made for that.

I really truly appreciate that Sleeper. Thank you and Merry Xmas to your family.

I didnt know you would have to cut the tabs. Would a shorter filter work?

Thanks for the encouragement and well wishes everyone, it's really appreciated. this site can be pretty harsh with people but this thread is a good example of how much heart the members have. I got to tell ya I'm pretty pumped up by it and plan on keeping my banshee dream alive. The damn thing is a motivator! Thanks everyone.

Thanks Tricked, thats the way i have been looking at it also. I remember (i think it was you) saying that someone on this forum had developed an air device to change gears. It can be done! My insurance, provincial government, and war amps will be taking care of a lot of the cost. I just dont know what im paying for yet.

Thanks for the advice and encouragement. More meetings this week and I will find out just what kind of money will be coming out of my pocket for the prosthetic. I have been paying for extended benefits through work and I work for the government up here in Canada, I'm sure I am better off than most people going through this. I am hearing possibly 50% of the leg is covered and maybe even all of it depending on who I talk to. Wouldn't that be nice.

Your 100% right

Well it's been a rough two weeks. I have just been diagnosed with bone cancer and on Jan 8th they will be cutting off my L leg about 8 in above the knee. So my wife and I will be saving for an Ottobock prosthetic leg. About 100k. I'm 42 with my 5th kid on the way, I need to stay alive. My banshee is in parts on the garage floor, I was hoping to have it ready for Feb ice races. I guess my question is would you guys keep it and hope that one day with a new leg you'll be back to riding or part it out and get some cash? It has a new Redline 4 mil stocker motor, brand new in box Fireball LT suspension and stem, new elka in box, snipers and CPI pipes, and tons of other new stuff sitting around. Don't need no sympathy just a simple sell it or keep it. The kid in me wants to keep it and hopefully ice race next season, the reality might be totally different thing though.

So how are you running them? With battery and DC conversion, or something else? How bright are they? Shoot out far?

I have had 6 different tires on two quads in the last 2 years and my fav was easily the irazr's. They have huge bite, huge sidewall bite, and grab well.

Any sponsor on this site can build you a great engine. Checkout the DriveLine cylinders thread in the Sponsor Spotlight section. Great cylinders, big hp, lower price.

I totally get it. Please post your results/parts when you figure it out.

Get with Carl on the other forum. He races the same bike and does well. Fuck do I ever like that bike!

Damn rights. We are at 73 c to your dollar.

Show me the light lord

My next head will be Chariot

I loved my Pro Circuits, wicked mid range pipe and you don't need to sell them when you want to do more upgrading, they make hp with bigger engines SLP all the way if you want hp/tq with low rpm. They are awesome on stock or large motors. Those would be two awesome pipes. SLP on sale right now through JD and PC always available second hand

Pmd

DriveLine all the way.

I love my D&D head.....but will be in the minority here because it's getting pretty rare. I think they are all good, but what you can afford. Don't run race gas, it's a pain in the ass and hard to get in a pinch. I got 21cc domes
