steved83 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 ok i just ordered my parts from Jeff at F.A.S.T, i got .060 over pistons 33mm keinen pwk carbs, billet intakes, i already have pyramid reeds, reed spacers, and cool head. i was talking to a friend of a friend that says he knows everything about banshees and he said what im trying to do is a cheap way of building my motor bc i want to port and put the .060 over pistons in my cylinders. he said i should just go with the cheetah cub kit, which i cant really afford right now. so what i am asking of you guys is you think i should save up for the cubs or just go with the porting and bore/hone on the stock cylinders. sorry if im all over the place with my info, oh and it will be pretty much dunes riding and have toomey t-5's on the way. thanks for your input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellicoseBanshee Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 A cub is more than just buying cylinders, it is a commitment to installing all the accompanying parts that are required to make good use of that kind of power. There is absolutely nothing wrong with dune ported stock cylinders if they are done correctly. You purchased good carbs and exhaust pipes that will work well with ported cylinders. I know of many bikes with ported stock cylinders that all out rip... EDIT: Yeah, what ^ said! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be happy my friend.. Jeff does a healthy dune port that I was very happy with.. Your in good hands.. Although some swear to it, cubs or other aftermarket cylinders are simply not for everyone... Like mentioned above I to have seen some "dune" or "play" ported cylinder bikes that run very well...

Just take your time and pay attention as you take it apart. You have already done yourself a service by reading the manual... Some guys on here can do it blind-folded...
