You fucking guys are so critical! There are so many things that I have purchased that are not in my sig! Countless runs to the dealer and so on! Most of you fuckers don't even get the point of the story! As for the DYI port job. At least I have the balls to try it myself. I did everything myself with the exception of the cylinder boring. How many guys can say that and lead the pack of 26 to 35 year old guys that can ride???? Maybe next time think before you criticize!

Wrong. $120 for boring the cylinder twice. $600 for dyno day. Rest done by me.

I keep hearing about Hurley. Sounds like a hoot. I have been hassled by DNR a few times so I want the legal muffs on my quad. I haven't even heard of the cascades. I had the DNR give me a ticket just for aftermarket exhaust in Lincoln county. It didn't matter to him that they were DB ratted with spark arrestor. I'm staying away from that county now.

I have to run crap FMF's. Its the only muff that is legal in my state.

Rode most of NE Wisconsin. Haven't made it over to that part of the state. Our next new destination will probably be Big Bay upper Michigan. I've been hearing about it for a couple different ppl that its great riding. Plan on memorial day weekend next year.

I'm happy with its performance. I'm already throwing up a wall of dirt onto who ever is behind me. As for the swing arm. Yeah, I like have all 4 tires on the ground. Not a wheelie fan.

I don't plan on selling.

Yes all that and more.

I tossed the list last year.

I added up the list of parts last year and I came up to 8K with the cost of the bike. I've spent more on it this year with another top end build, rear shock rebuild and some other parts that failed on me. The shit adds up fast!

Well, put it this way. There are very few items that are still 87

Inexperienced rider and too much power! '

When I got back into atv'ing five years ago we started small. I met a couple of cool guys that immediately were hooked on riding. I had a 84 200X, 78 and 83 Honda 110 ATC's that I hopped up. I took my friend to NE Wisconsin to go fishing and camping and we threw the 3 ATC's on top of the boat. When I took them out they said to me "Fuck fishing! We want to do this". I sell all the ATC's and pick up a blaster. Another friend blows it up. I dropped around 7K on it and it screamed pretty good and I could still lead the pack with another modded blaster, timberwolf and my Kodiak 400 that one friend borrowed. So the kodiak and the timberwolf rider upgraded to some yfz450's and the blaster turned into DS650. My little blaster still could out run them on the tight trails. But as soon the road opened up, forget about it. It topped out at 60. Then I soon realized that I need something bigger and faster. I started searching for a banshee. I had always wanted one but never perused it. I found an 87 a hour away for $1000. I thought "Great" I'll pick this up and fix some problems and get out on the next trip. Wrong! After it came home and I started picking at it. The list grew and grew and grew. So after 1 1/2 years and over 9K on it now it finally leads the pack again! We had 10 riders this last trip. 3 Raptor 660's and 1 350(girl rider). 2 yfz450's, arctic cat 650 tank. and a crappy polaris 400. The raptors topped out and I shifted to 6th. It was awesome. My bike topped out at 75 on pavement and I got up to 73 on hard dirt. 66 in soft sand. I know some of you think thats still slow. But its fast enough for me. I don't want more power. I go through 3 times as much fuel then the other quads. So thanks to this site for the great input and parts that I recieve I now have a machine that no one can catch, for now that is.

I checked the o rings on my last rebuild just a week ago and they were fine. Where can I get thicker O rings?

Springs are new OEM's at the time of the build earlier this spring. I did not apply the copper silicone. I will now.

After some riding this weekend I notice that oil is coming out of the LH pipe at the head. I replaced the o rings in the pipes when I did the motor earlier this spring. Is there a better way to seal it up?

I wish America would follow. I'd have street tires and turn signals on it tomorrow.

Is that a turn signal? Quads street legal in england?

I like the look that it has. To each his own.

I made two fender stays. One for each side. I took 1/8" thick by 1" wide steel flat stock and bent it up to go from the frame to the corner of the fender.

Before:

My 25 year old fenders are sagging. The rear shock isn't set up right either and I'm not getting the stance I want. I tried shortening the rear shock link. That gave me a little better stance. I still wasn't happy with the way it looks. So I came up with this.....

Are there any holes in the fenders for the heel gaurds?
