  1. The website has had that page up since the first of this year. They are still open Monday thru Friday, but they are closed on Thursdays and the weekends. 8am-5pm est. You can reach them on their contact page. They have been in business since 2004. Custom orders can take up to 6 weeks depending on how complicated they are.
  2. cosmicquads.com can do the Zebra themes without a ton of seams, and are one of the only companies doing seats that can make you a seamless seatcover. They even can restore seats back to OEM look and logos. Custom work too.
  3. Sweet pics.Thanks for sharing!
  4. I never had any interaction with her, but used to watch her post on here. She used to give some fools a real hard time. Always enjoyed watching her set some people straight. Sad she died so young, and our thoughts go out to friends and family.
  5. These guys do them also. But they take awhile,and often they have a waiting list. http://www.cosmicquads.com/index2.html http://www.cosmicquads.com/8482.html
  6. No problem man. I dont run the coolheads or timing plates. I like to keep these engines reliable,so with every mod you do, you take a chance of adding more problems. The only complaint I have with that set-up is the 2-1 pipes hold more heat in the engine,becuase they are so reliant on back pressure to make the torque.So after 20-30 minutes of low speed putting,and slow long hillclimbing in tight woods,they get little hot and start to spit a little coolant out the overflow.As long as you keep air moving over the rads, they do fine,but when you get climbing slow long hillclimbs on a 85+ degree day, they will get hot.Usually I shut it off, have a beer and smoke and back out I go. Honestly, I wouldnt advance the timing,that would only make it run hotter. I say run a aftermarket larger radiator, with That Cool Aid coolant, and a Hi flow Water pump. Spend your money on those before a coolhead. I would just get the pipe and filter first,and jet it,and do the 12 tooth frt sprocket. Ride it and see how you like it.Even on a stock engine without the shaved head, they still pull really fat down low. Then make sure you like it, then pull the head, mil it, throw in some new pistons,and get a low to mid range port job. Both of My shee's have this done to it,and every trailrider who rode them absoulutely loves the power delivery of them. My wife's has Namura power pistons in it, but I wont run them anymore just because I heard they fall apart.And I like the Wiesco's becuase they rev up a little quicker than the Namura's Funny thing is, My wife's she has 6 years on her top end with no problems with those Namura Pistons.She has a 89 engine that has only been bored 2 times.Yes...2 times since 89. My she had about 7 years on the original bore,then I rebuilt, and it has about 6 years on it now only 20 over it is a 96. My brother's shee had 11 years on the OEM topend and has about 3 years after the rebuild on it, he is 20 over and it is 93. Honestly if you are tuned good with a nice sealed air-filter, and seal up your stator cover and are good on maintennace, you can run these motors for a few years before they need any top end work.I make my own Pro flow adapter out of the factory air filter cage,and use a large rubber O-ring and bolts to secure the adapter to the airbox.With a new K&N, making this set-up yourself is reliable and will only cost your the 27$ for the K&N.Instead of 100$ for that PRO Flow deal. In 6 years, my wifes has only dropped 10 PSI of compression from 142-133.I am going to freshen hers up this spring. I have been meaning to make a post about how to attack all the weak dirt sucking points of a Banshee engine, that causes problems,but I just not have gotten around to it. Oh yeah I run pump gas 93 octane with Maxima 927 at 42-1.In all of them. You dont owe me anything...LOL Just post up how you like it when done. Just make sure you get the motofast, and not the dynoport.The motofast was better.I have seen the system go for as little as $200 Shipped I dont get on these forums too much, so if you have anymore questions you can drop me a Private message so I see it in my email.
  7. I always set my Banshee's up for massive bottom end for tight woods and trail riding.All I ride is rocky mountain hillclimbs and tight knarly trails. If you want a ton of bottom end out of a stockish motor, here is what you want to the T.. MotoFast 2-1 pipe..(Hard to find, you will have to search Ebay) Cut your head .020...(You dont even have to do this, but it will get you even more low end torque) Boyeson Power reeds. Jet your stock carbs with 240 Main's(these mains will be fine for up to .040 over bore), needle in the middle, stock pilots, air screw 1-1/2 turns out(Assuming your altitude is around 600 ft.) Get a 12 tooth frt sprocket. K&N filter with 6-3/8ths holes drilled in your lid. This set-up will allow you to putt anywhere, never fouling plugs, and you can just tap the clutch and slam the throttle wide open at will with no bog. The bike will pull much like a 4 stroke at low RPM's pull hard in the mid, But it will absolutetly die off on the top end with this set-up. It will still rev out well, it just wont make much power after the top of the midrange. You wanted a honest answer for "bottom end power" and there it is. Between My wife's, Brothers, Mine and my friend's shee, we have been running these set-ups for over 20 years combined. It absoultely is about the best down low power you can get. I have tried other dual systems, and yes they uncork more power, but you have to stay on the pipe to use it with most dual systems. And this set-up above, will still allow you to tap out at about 65-68 MPH and cruise at about 55 MPH on long open roads. Recently I switched to DMC 916's and left everything else the same,except I went to 280 Main jets. These are doing very good down low, and man they really woke the bike up in the midrange and the top end screams, but they dont pull as much torque as the Motofast does down low.
  8. I posted a "How to thread" on this over 2 years ago on another forum.. Here is the link. http://forums.everything2stroke.com/cosmetic/23689-tips-remove-anodizing-wheels.html at the time I used oven cleaner. It looks as if the drain cleaner works good too. What brand cleaner did you use?
  9. I have run them extensively Even back to back against duals. My results are different than yours, but I havent had a chance to try alot of dual systems. I always have don testing on ported engines with stock carbs. One thing I will agree with on the 2-1 pipes is they just make noise up top. Dynports dont perform as well as the Moto Fast system, So I will leave it at that. But you really need a shirt that says I HATE 2-1 Pipes... LOL
  10. No I wouldnt ever paint plastic. Those are Maier rears and a Honda tank I put on there. Thanks for the good comments guys
  11. I blacked out my 250R for the most part. Before, After Also my Tri-Z I would say mostly black with some silver accents or another color,looks pretty tough vs. just all black.
  12. The DMC aliens are the same front pipes as the 916 system,and are still available from DMC.
  13. Moto Fast and Dyno-port were the only 2 systems that had the 2-into 1 set-up. The motofast had slightly better low end and midrange hit than the Dyno Port. Dyno port still makes them and can be contacted.. I have no Idea how to get ahold of the Moto-Fast company.
  14. I have one, with grooved fingers 25 shipped.
