This. Great post David.

I don't think you know who you're talking to.

I buy fuel line from "fuellineguy" on eBay. It's cheap and I replace my lines a few times a year.

Even if there is an invoice, there's not $30,000 in that thing.

$97,000 Here's a picture to prove it.

Haha, quit trolling.

$97,000

I'm not pissed at all. I'm just not dumb. I own some of the most expensive parts you can buy. And I know for a FACT that there's not $30,000 in that 350cc bike. Anyone on BansheeHQ with a decent built bike knows that price is completely over inflated. Just because there are prices written on a piece of paper doesn't mean there's that much in it.

Probably a lot of over inflated labor charges. The parts don't even come close to that price.

I don't believe, because I own three $10,000+ motors, four sets of hand coned pipes and three custom drag chassis. There's no fucking way to have $30,000 in a Banshee with a 350cc motor unless you inflate the pricing, charge for every minute you work on it or sold it to a moron.

They more than inflated the price of that thing. You know and everyone else knows (with a brain) that there's no way possible to have $30,000 in a bike with a 350cc motor.

No, no I won't. There's absolutely ZERO chance a bike with a fucking 350cc Banshee motor is $30,000.

What facts? Haha. Just because the magazine says it doesn't mean it's true. If so, my drag bike a $120,000 build.

Them dudes are FOS. There's not $30,000 in that thing.

If that bike is a $30,000 bike, I have a $60,000 drag bike for sale.

$30,000? Come on..What motor is in it? Surely they don't have more than $10,000 in motor, pipes and carbs.. So the rolling chassis is $20,000? Not a chance.

Yea, I'm not disputing that a full chassis like that won't be way better than an OEM chassis. I'm still talking about this magical Elka rear link. What motor is that pile running? Must be at least double the HP of all the bikes it's racing against? Who rode it?

What chassis? You got pics?

Problem is, you can't.. Not with an OEM chassis anyway. The thought that by running a 1.5" longer shock with a different rear link is going to make a night and day difference is not only laughable, but naive. I don't even know what this race is you're talking about, but if a Banshee is winning it, it's likely that it's because of a good rider and motor, not a negligible rear link.

It has less to do with the rear link and way more to do with the rider and motor. Everyone is kidding themselves if they think the minor angle change of the rear shock with that linkage is a night and day difference.

The one that says Miller on it.

I guarantee them winning has zero to do with the rear link.

All because of the rear link set up?

It's not nearly as drastic as it sounds.

I'm going to the shop right now to make sure my billet cases are matching.
