I've got a set of stock carb bodies, can't remember if they are drilled and tapped yet. Will check when I get home, email me @ [email protected] and I will respond with what I've got.

I agree on the 28PWK's, don't know anyone yet, other than all out drag racers that don't like them. In my opinion the Mikunis are harder to tune. Here is the hot tip on the PWK's, the 2001 Kawasaki KX100 came with a 28PWK on it, the list price for the complete carb is around $90 each. The only downside is the right carb needs to have the idle screw moved, or you just deal with it on the inside.

I do my own shock repair as well. Most of the repair parts can be purchased from a White Brothers dealer. The special tools are nice but if you are a good mechanic, and resourceful you won't need anything special. While you have it apart you should check out the Race Tech gold valve kit to revalve the shock, they are about $125 but worth it. I'm not sure how much oil the shock holds although I think a quart should be enough. You will also need someone to refill the shock with Nitrogen, most bike shops will do this for you.

I thought I would share this with you guys. We took a trip to Little Sahara last weekend. Our first ride out we were running the trails along the fence line. I stopped and let the pack go ahead of me and hung back with my wife, she rides an '87 Banshee. I followed her through an S turn, part way through I thought her left tire looked kind of funny, she slowed a little for the switch back and suddenly came to a stop and went up onto the handle bars. The lower left ball joint had seperated. I felt really fortunate that this didn't happen when I was ripping down the drag strip WOT about 10 minutes earlier. As I was searching this board on a-arms and ball joints I noticed this same thing has happened to many other Banshee owners. I've personally witnessed a lower ball joint failure on an LT250 that was going about 35mph, it was nasty. As this seems to be a consistent weak point on the Banshee I hope everyone takes the time to double check the condition of the lower ball joints. My plan is to modify the stock A-Arms to accept a replaceable aftermarket ball joint.

I ran the Trinity 2-1 with a 34PJ on my wife's Banshee for awhile. Never really got a chance to get it dialed in before she gave it a thumbs down. Ran the stock Mikunis rejetted with Dynojet needles for several years, then went to 28PWK's. She gives the 28's a double thumbs up, we ride woods, trails and dunes.
