This ones mine. Bought it when i was 19. Paid $5200 cash. Preety much the way it looks now. I replaced the whole drive train over the years but over all a solid car.
sorry for the crappy photo. only one I have in photo bucket.
Thanks for the advice guys. I was just being lazy and did'nt want to split the cases. Anyway I decided to
do both. I have to much invested to be lazy. A friend of mine has a 400 cheetah a blew 2 right side crank bearings in 2 years. So that got me a little worried. I'll just do it right before somthing blows.
Motors coming apart so I was wondering what is the better upgrade. TZ bearing or the straight gears. I've been told the gears take alot of pressure of the crank bearing. Let me know what you think.
Yep. The one I got is power coated or painted, It has a metallic finish. I actually had to remove some of the paint to get it to move in the engine case.
Not for me. I think i would be going backward with that. I building a motor for a friend who is a cheap fuck. Trying to get the most bang for the buck.
Found this auction on ebay. Wondering if these cylinders are any good. I never herd any thing on them.

I got one of there stators, adjustible plate, and a coil. All have been on my bike since the summer with no problems. I know thats not a long time but, so far so good.
On any High rmp motor you do not want cast pistons. The only piston you should put in a banshee is a wiseco. I learned this the hard way. Cast pistons blow up. Only lasted me 7 months. Cast suck I had a motor in my shop last week, Cast pistons. They crumbled upart. Jammed up the crank. Had to split the cases. Cylinders were only 64.5mm had to take them up to 66mm.
Just got the new Rockey Mountian FALL/WINTER catalog.
Major price increases. I was shocked at the price of oils. Klotz went up $10 per gallon. Red Line 2-cycle went up $20 per gal. Maxima trans oil went up $2.50 a quart. This sucks. I can now buy oil at the local bike shop cheaper. From what I've scene, everything in the book went up.
I'm not sticking up for him. But I know he had alot of issues. His girlfriend cut his finger of and so on. I think he parted his banshee to pay medical bills. He seemed like a good guy the couple of times I met him. I hope he makes good on the money he owes. If I see him I'll be sure to say somthing.
