  1. That is the shits Rick. If it does come down to it, can you kick the little bastards ass that sold you the bikes? I don't mean like yell at him, I mean corner him and beat some sense into him. Also, if you have a bill of sale, and can show a cancelled check etc...you should just have to hand over the stolen goods. I would also talk to a different lawyer. Attorneys can get you in or out of anything. There is someone I know that has had 3 felonies EXPUNGED from his record, all because of who he knows. One of the felonies came with a $10,000 bill. That got reduced to somewhere around $0.00
  2. There might be a half link kit out there that will work, but all I have seen are half link kits made with really thin side plates and spring pins (split roll pin) instead of a hardened dowel pin. I wouldn't run one on a Huffy.
  3. Shitty deal man...what kind of car?
  4. HAHAHA Hell yeah....Its not the Police that drive me nuts..hell I like it when they drive by my shop. Its the fucken lawyers that I hate.
  5. I'd stay away from 1/2 links. Have you tried to get another master link instead?
  6. "local dealer" touch my shit?????? You must be high LOL That would get rid of that snappy powerband, and she would like riding it alot more.
  7. You could always get a Banshee and then let the local dealer "tune" it. Z400 would be a good bike, but you might be able to find a 450 around that is used, and sold almost new. It happens here all the time. In the paper there are new banshees with 1 hour on them, 450's raptors every now and again.
  8. Amen to that. I bet Metallica are gonna show up on the Christopher Lowell Show on the Discovery Channel.
  9. That ain't no shit. last time i was out on the main road of the south entrance, talk about inhaling sand. wind picked up and my tent was coated, inside, sleeping bag and all. later. Honestly thats my favorite part of going to the dunes. I love it when the wind kicks up and it turns to shit for a few hours. I don't know why. I love it when its too hot and too windy.
  10. Depends on if your exhaust port gets raised. PSI is determined by how much volume is trapped after the piston closes over the exhaust port.
  11. If I was going to see anyone, I'd go see GWAR at then end of this month. Or I could wait and go see the Crusty World Tour at the end of June.
  12. You might want to invest in some simple green. That shit works well at taking the sandy/oily grit off from behind the sprocket and under the engine that accumilates for some reason. Cheap tire dressing works well too.
  13. You have to go 2:1 then into the turbo to get the desired effect. On Turboed V-8's they take 4 into 1 then into the turbo on each side. If not then you would have to have 2 turbo chargers and 15 times the headaches on a Banshee Personally if I were to go the forced induction route I'd choose nitrous. Mainly because of the hassles of routing oil lines, inter coolers, parts and labor etc etc. Plus you don't have turbo lag or in the case of a super charger, the charger consuming most of what its making at idle just to turn the thing over. With N02 you can have multiple stages for different rpms etc. It can get complicated, but imho its a cleaner cheaper instal. Not that its any easier to get set up though. All that money you saved might just go to pistons and cranks.
  14. ..........and cut my chain wrong twice.............
  15. SIX GEARS!!!1!!!!!11!1!!!!!!1!!!!!!
  16. Just for curiositys sake.....How many amps are we talking at 4160 volts? Thats a lot of voltage...even at one amp thats over 5.5 HP. It depends on the size of the equipment being fed how many amps it will draw. The 4160 volts I was working with was feeding several Large pumps roughly the size of a cube van that were rated at 1000 HP and were designed to feed the cooling water for a natural gas turbine. If you were standing near them when they started, they hair on your arms and head would stand on end. 4160 Volts running a 1000hp motor is drawing nearly 180 amps!!!! Holy shit......that would ruin your whole day if you happened to touch something you weren't supposed to. What size wire feeds those motors? Here there is an aluminum extrusion plant that I do work for that has 2 500 HP electric motors to run the hydraulics to press 7" billet through a die. 2 feet of 7" billet usually becomes about 200 feet of what ever it is they are extruding.

  18. LMFAO AMEN!!! A Retrosexual man don't need no stinking loading ramps either. You grab that shit, hike it up on the tail gate, grab the rear tire, lift that bitch in. He also likes the smell of axle grease, old used up axle grease, gasoline, premix, exhaust fumes especially those made by race gas, and decorates his christmas tree with Craftsman sockets and NGK spark plugs. He knows how to fix a barbeque when it won't light, and he can clean it with a hammer and a common screw driver because he don't need no god damn Soft Scrub and a sponge.
  19. Yep thats mine! I had some better pics, but I got rid of them recently. Typical Banshee...never done. I look at it everyday, so I'm constantly reminded how I'm not done with it. I bet I have a list of over 10 items at the shop that I want to do to "finish" it. lmao...right....
  20. A little higher view.
  21. I can get them, but I don't know if my price "beats" any others. I don't buy the absolute cheapest priced bearing I can find however. I figure I don't like to run cheap bearings so I don't buy them to resell them. I don't buy the most expensive either (they can get VERY expensive if you look hard enough). Usually just something down the middle.
  22. I just got about 6 sets done, but I ran out of springs. I use 2 7/16 springs so they aren't rigid mounted, but have some flex like the rubber elastomer stock hangers. But as you know with the rubber that is GLUED on, it rots after a while and you end up replacing them. Mine are held together by 2 5/16 nylock bolts. Shouldn't have any problems backing out, and you should never have to replace them.
