Well, these fuckers are longer than 6". I'm pretty positive that when I measured the other ones they were 6" and my Elkas were 5".

I'm gonna let the air out of mine and check it out.

How would that mess up the camber? Camber is already set. I just need a thinner nut. I had about 1/2"-3/4" of clearance with the Elkas. The rezzie on them is 1" shorter.

Yea, I knew it was a fucked up size when Fastenal didn't even show it in their catalog. I'll just have the locknut milled down. No big deal.

Yea, I could.. But nowhere local has them. I even called Fastenal and they can't get the size I need. It's an M16x1.0 pitch.

Haha, this is a great example of why this comparison is completely ridiculous. 787 Raptor gets beat by a motor 322cc smaller. Look, I am not saying that the 4-strokes can't be fast. They are and I have seen them first hand run hard, but to try to compare them to a properly set up Banshee is absurd.

Chris, how long are your rezzies from center of upper mounting bolt to bottom of rezzies? Mine are 6" long. Also, got any pics of your arms looking down? Mine have this fucking lock-nut that's right in the way.

You guys are a bunch of clowns. You seriously think that a 100HP 4-stroke is faster than a 100HP Banshee? Set up CAN NOT be the same. They're two different types of motors that require two totally different types of set ups. Let's also think about something.. 100HP 4-stroke = 700+ CCs 100HP 2-stroke = 421 Cub I personally witnessed 421 Cubs and smaller motors BEATING on a Raptor on nitrous at the BHQ ride. Now fucking sit here and tell me the 4-stroke is faster.

All little bullshit aside, it's not the worst case scenario I've seen. The motor went together nice and fired right up. Seemed to rev out clean and run pretty decent. I'd say he got the better end of the deal. That 250x thing was a pile. Once all the little shit is fixed it should be a pretty nice play bike.

Chris, you have the same arms I do?

Yep, they send me longer shocks. They are 17.25" from eye to eye. Using a +3 arm would definitely solve the problem because that nut would be out another inch. Problem is that I wouldn't want to go that wide. Yea, I am going to e-mail them and send pictures again. I knew they were wrong. 18" would probably have been enough.

I'm with Dave. I do not strap mine down to where the suspension compresses. I usually go from the foot pegs to the hooks in the front of the truck bed. Rarely have I ever used three straps.

Yea, Troy is his boy.

Update. Shocks still hit. I knew they would.

Hahahaha. No shit.

Yes.

This has actually been going on for a long time. I refuse to DL that new software though.

iCloud is on. I want to sync so that the iTunes on my phone matches the iTunes on my computer.

Fuck iCloud. I want to SYNC my shit. I've changed up my lists and I can't sync anything.

Phone works fine other than the fact it won't fucking sync. I'm gonna walk in the Apple store and lay someone out with my fuckin phone.

Fuck that update. I haven't done that shit and don't plan to. This has been going on since I got the piece of shit in April. Never had a problem syncing my iPhone4 and my old ass iPod-3 still syncs just fine.

Seriously, WTF. I never had an issue with my iPhone4. I get this fucking iPhone4s and it WILL NOT FUCKING SYNC to my iTunes. I e-mail Apple customer support and they give me some bullshit about iCloud. Fuck iCloud. I don't wanna fuck with that shit every time I download a new Katy Perry or Lady Gaga album. Plus, I have made changes to my iTunes list. What the fuck? Any fixes? Ideas? I thought about smashing it with a JJ&A axle, but figured I'd check here first. Fuck.
