gipperz Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 Hello everybody, New to the BHQ and would like ideas and opinions. I own a 2000 Banshee with v-force3 reeds, lighten flywheel, sport port porting, milled head .030, bored .030 over using pro light pistons and fmf fatties. I would like to step it up more. I have a pair of rz power valve cylinders and was wondering if they are really worth swapping over to or just save up for cubs? I ride fast trails and open dirt roads. Any thought would be great.

Does it spin a lot? Quote

Should I just step up to 28mm carbs and better pipes and the noss head? Any good combinations you might have in mind? Thanks for the info. Quote

CadillacBanshee Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Sounds like a nice setup. What you should to next is buy a powerband. I heard the pink one is the best and has the most power. Quote
