[Some Oregon Dune Closures, mostly trails]

I'd just take the extra time and go to Glamis...  Been to the OR dunes and they don't compare.

[Who's heading out to Glamis over Prez?]

I'll be there but we are going this weekend (12-15).

[Glamis this weekend -- 1/15 - 17.]

Won't be there until President's weekend this year.  Banshee is almost back to running and it'll be nice to ride it again after 10 years of it sitting.

[Wanted to share a video of my Stock Banshee.]

Wgaf

Probably no one, I was just curious.

[Wanted to share a video of my Stock Banshee.]

Is it just me or does it sound like another bikes exhaust sound track was put on top of this to make the bike sound better? 

[Crank welding]

I always recommend it and make sure customers know the risk , with that said I've put a lot of killer top halves together the key is not getting greedy with compression or timing a nice lil blend and shee will last , there's just too many variables to guarantee you won't break at glamis, you could weld it and still break it , you could leave it and it could last for years.

I completely agree.  I'm in the same boat here, getting a full rebuild up and going for presidents day in Glamis.  Had everything checked and rebuilt including the crank, money well spent in my opinion.

[New shocks and A-arms are on]

Awesome!!! Planning on the same A-arm set up (+2+1), only difference is I'm planning on making my own and then upgrading the shocks.

[Glamis over Thanksgiving.... Roll Call!]

This will be the first year in a long time I have not been out there for Thanksgiving 

Presidents day will be the next trip.

[need help, run in with highway patrol and my bike is gone]

It has been.

Thoroughly.

Multiple times.

I lol'ed for real at this. 

[need help, run in with highway patrol and my bike is gone]

So, OP never did say if he got speeding ticket................................hhmmmmm

 

lol that's true....

[need help, run in with highway patrol and my bike is gone]

How can you really be mad at the cop. He is just doing his job. It isn't the cop's fault the vin wasn't visible. Just think, if the quad was stolen, and it was your quad and the cop just let the OP go because he had a title for another quad, how would you feel?

I understand your point, but last I checked we are innocent until proven guilty in this country.  I think the cop was being a prick because he could.  That's why I have my stuff in an enclosed trailer, they would have to have a warrant or a really damn good reason to get me to open it up.

[Do I need larger carbs?]

Just remembered it has 17cc domes too. Like I said it's been sitting in storage a long time.

[Do I need larger carbs?]

Jetting on the carbs I think is 270 or 280, I'm not home at the moment, I'll edit post when I can check

[Do I need larger carbs?]

Sorry should have included the mods.

 

Fmf gnarled pipes, and ported is all that's done to the engine. Don't ask what kind of port, not sure it was done 11 years ago. I'm rebuilding the bike since its been sitting for about 10 years and want to solve a few things while I'm working on it.

[Do I need larger carbs?]

The banshee pulls into 5th gear fine but goes flat on 6th.  Is this a sign of running the bowls down and needing more flow from the carbs or am I looking at a different issue?

 

Thanks for any input.

[Looking for a good shop]

Been about 10 years since I pulled the banshee out and it has definitely seen better days. So I decided to rebuild the whole engine and replace all gaskets and seals. That turned into deciding to replace the Pistons too. Thing is I don't know any of the shops in the Orange County California any more, where would you suggest I go for a bore/hone on the cylinders and some port work??? The only place this bike goes is Glamis, mostly just a dune bike with a little racing mixed in.
