moving forward. slower than planned

[inthemail]

so, im probley gonna end up trading my banshee. but for the most parts it more like "put teh fucking thing togeather in decent servicable condition. heres a list of shit.

-crank is fucked. previous owner only rebuilt one side on a thrown rod..... idiot. (looking for a 4mil guys)

-head has all kinds of nasty marks. looking for a coolhead. (fast)

-i need a new clutch and billet basket with both hubs. gonna throw in a pancake too while im there. (fast)

-chain and sprokets. 13tooth front with ? rear???? im running 20" (shoot me an idea)

-brakes are fucked all around including the lines. ill replace them with SS.

-i need some billet foot controls to replace the shit i fucked. including the kicker.

-gaskets.

-bars.

-a twist throttle.

-a billet front brake lever. stocker is bent fucked.

-swinger rebuild kit. having it cut to -2

-axle bearings.

-front a-arms upper and lower. aftermarket used. OR home built. anyone got plans for some?

-tie rods.

-the frame needs finishing. like more cutting and welding.

-sandblast and shave all plastics.

-totally rewire.

-bore carbs..... everyone hates a sleeper.

-pistons.

-pods

-used stator cover. the stocker will do. UNCUT.

 

i need some advice on motor. im going to rebuild as a stock ported .80 over 4 mill with a coolhead.

-what domes should i be running for sea level - 500 feet?

-how big can you bore stock mikunis? can they go to 30mm?

 

-fuck i need a stator and adjustable timing plate too..... anyone? is a degree key any use with this?

 

anyway. i may sell the machine when im done..... id hate to but. ya know. at least with what i buy to get it in respectable condition again is good reason to go farther.

 

jeff buddy if you read this pm me a quote on whatever parts you have that i need. ill be buyin the whole shebangs if i can.

Why on earth would you spend all that money on billet this, new that...etc. when you said you're gonna get rid of it TWICE in that post.

 

Buy a used stock head, dime a dozen. Buy a used, welded stock crank. Get your cylinders bored. Get a stock kicker....that's just for starters.

 

Why spend thousands to put a bike back right when you're only going to sell it...?

i cant sell it half assed. i COULD stick it togeather one piece with what i have and call it tickity boo sold to you.

 

but would you want something like that? sure the billet is nice.

i have owned this bike for about 5 years now and basically rode it right 3 times when i was younger before i did dumb things and lost it neglected it had other things to do. then right when im at a point in life (having a real job and paying my own bills. it blows up. i unlock a whole bunch of bad inside shit for what should have only been a piston rings top end to a sloopy existence..... i was TOLD it was 4 mil.

so it will be one.

now that i read it the billet is a bit overboard i see what your sayin. the brake lever will go with a brand new msr shorty i have. my bars are fucked. its a replacement, but it goes with the bars i gotta get anyway. aside from that it needs a head anyway.

nice frame dude.

since you are going to sell the bike y dont you just part it out instead of buying all kinds of stuff and fixing it to sell you will never get out of it what you put into it.

[dajogejr]

That's another fine point. Unless it's a spotless blinged out drag bike, you're not gonna get much for it.

Even then, people want it all for free...

 

It's worth more parted out on fleabay....

 

I'm not saying to put it together half ass. I'm just saying why buy a cool head? that's 230 or so when you can buy a perfectly good stocker for 30 to 50....and it will work just fine to sell the bike. A new stroker crank is 500 or under.

 

A perfectly fine stock crank with good bearings, etc goes for 150 or less....

 

That's all I'm saying... Not to half ass it, but not to go overboard...

i got a stock crank here that is in good condition. needs the stator side bearing but thats all. i'll sell it for $75 delivered to truro.

Damn Dude what happen to that Big Matton Motor you were talking about a couple months ago...

[Fireroad Express]

oh yeah, if you do decide to part the bike out, let me know, there's some parts i need.
