SandShots Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 the bike 02 banshee on T5's Our local riding area requires for those pipes to have a spark arrestor on it. Are the T5 arresorts worth the money at about 80bux a pop or will other aftermarket ones work as well? I know the clamp-ons may come loose but for the amount of times I need them it might be worth it. All Ive seen is the "SPARKY" brand. What are you guys using out there and how are they working out? thanks for the help. Quote
Animalman294 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 My pipes came as a set so I really don't know about any of the aftermarket things.............sorry :shrug: Quote
dajogejr Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 You got the wrong sparky's if they come loose or fall off. The ones I got from Magic Racing clamp down and don't move. I've had to take them off (for the A/F meter on a dyno) and I worked my ass off just to slip them off. Toomey silencers have a lip that the sparky fits over...trust me, with the right measurement, they ain't coming off. Quote

dajogejr Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Sorry.... I don't have pics or a part number. I went to Magic with the measurement (don't remember that...either...) and they set me up. I'm pretty sure that they cost me 69 bucks a piece... Quote
msprouse Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 That's lame thry make you have aresstors damn tree huggers Quote
dajogejr Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Aside from the fact a single forest fire has never been attributed to an ATV/motorcycle....they require them for SAND DUNES...Silver Lake requires them. Now...there are some slight, small wooded areas...but, c'mon. It drives me nuts. People get around it by loading their quad in the back of the truck and bringing both into the dunes...but, the DNR will probably crack down on that soon, too... It's money for them, afterall. Quote

dajogejr Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 What a world we live in. The tree hugger capital of the US doesn't require or enforce them...and over here, they're a must. Go figure. Oh well...it is what it is...I just wanna ride. So be it... :beer: Quote
