pp13bnos Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Do you still have your 7 mil stock cylinder? I'm building one of those next. Once the SS is done. No, i used it for a donor. I didn't feel like buying straight cuts, cases, transmission, reeds, etc again. Quote
PaymentPlan Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) No, i used it for a donor. I didn't feel like buying straight cuts, cases, transmission, reeds, etc again.Right on. That seems like a fun / reliable build. Would love to have one as a Daily rider. Edited August 10, 2016 by controls77 Quote
RagunCajun Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 You lost me in your second mini paragraph. Snake oil?From what I've read here and other places, the Smart carbs are a gimmick. Snake oil is an old term that just means something that's a lie, fraud, doesn't do what it is advertised to do etc. I'm going to keep my bike too PP. I still need to get another dirt bike to replace my old one. I thought about selling my old truck as well many time but u can't afford anything that it would take for me to upgrade. 600rwhp wasnt cheap and I'd have to surpass that by a lot. Quote

Your lightning is BA. Just if it were black, I always loved those trucks. 1 Quote

PaymentPlan Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Posted August 10, 2016 So, Mr. No Budget, why didn't you build a bigger one then?The biggest size available is 64x72. I told Cam what I was looking to do, he told me what I could get. Simple enough. Quote
RagunCajun Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 I'm glad he didn't mention I could go bigger. It took me way too long to finish a 521. But the second I hit the throttle years later, it was worth it! Quote
locogato11283 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 The biggest size available is 64x72. I told Cam what I was looking to do, he told me what I could get. Simple enough. All you had to do is say you didn't have a budget and were willing to wait. Quote

There are LOTS of guys using smart carbs successfully and love them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Quote
RagunCajun Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 I need a to read up then^ But are they adding 10% like the other guy said? Or just easier tuning? Quote
locogato11283 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 I haven't read anywhere that they worked really well on a Banshee. Quote
RagunCajun Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 Bingo^ And since my dirt bike was stolen, I quit following their progress once they were released. Quote
PaymentPlan Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Update. Frame and mtr are up at LED. I decided to go standard mount silencers rather then center mounted. Reviewed it with Cam and considered the rear shock collapsing all the way, then the center mounted silencers colliding with the swingarm. Thinking about keeping the bare finish or going chrome for the pipes. We shall see how it looks mounted up first. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Edited September 21, 2016 by controls77 Quote
Strm Trpr Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 Does anyone know if LED has made inframes for use on a 421 Serval? Or are his hand coned badass pipes only for big bores? Quote
sheerider11 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 Does anyone know if LED has made inframes for use on a 421 Serval? Or are his hand coned badass pipes only for big bores? I don't see why he wouldn't. He made LRD for years for smaller motors. I'm sure he'll do what ever you want if you pay for it 1 Quote
