jimbob Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) as some of you may know ive just recently bought a "new" banshee, apperently the guy who built this thing knew what he was doing and it has some pretty cool and expensive kit on it already, one one of which is paul turner barrels. ive trawled the tinterwebby and cant seem to find any info on these at all. does any one know anything about them, i pressume they would be ported as they are aftermarket barrels but to what extent, is there a standard to them or a they "tuned" to the bike for a specific purpose. thanks in advanced oh ye banshee gods Edited December 14, 2008 by jimbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamebo Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 If they have the Paul Turner signature inscribed on the side of them, they have been ported by them. Probably tuned to the previous owners mods, weight, and riding style in mind. I know they offer performance kits, but the buyers cylinders must be sent in for the portwork. I wasn't aware that PT manufactured cylinders, are you sure they aren't stock jugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
