blowit Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Now this would really piss off the shop because we have enough to do BUT, for those guys who insisted on "rolling their own", I had considered doing a video or tech article on how to port the Banshee for woods, dune, and drag racing. I may also include stroker setups in another segment. To be honest, we would have to charge for the vid mostly because of the time involved and the tricks that will be given. I am just curious if anyone would be interested? This will probably not be the cheapest thing on the market like the two stroke tuning books out there but by running through a video tutorial on the exact bike you are working on, you can truly go from classroom to porting bench in one night.

Darthwall Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 ya I think it wouldnt be a bad idea at all although like you said it would probably start to piss the big name shops off a little bit especially it you ended up doing some great work but I would be interested.

NickisGod Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 great idea!!! this way i can exploit my artist friends by educating them about porting. i have quite a few friends who i can say are extremly talented with dremel tools.

Snopczynski Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I know how to do it, and I still would like to gather as much info as possible. The only way to get good is to do it, and learn as much about it as possible. Wouldn't hurt anyone, wether they port or not to watch it.

rubberneck Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I think its a great idea and i dont think it would piss off the shops. I would love to watch it just for learning purposes, but will still have my cylinders ported by a pro. Think about it this way. My bet is that by the time you invest in the proper tools and spend your time doing it, it is cheaper to have it done. Not to mention, im sure there are lots of little tricks and tips you will only learn through trial and error, and not to many do it yourselfers are going to be doing more than 1 or 2 sets. They just arent going to spend that time perfecting their techinique. If a shop is pissed by it, that just doesn't make sense, they are all so damn busy anyway, its not like a video is going to hurt them IMHO. I say do it.

blowit Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Guys, this is merely an idea or concept at this point. Obviously, no one wants to watch 12 hrs of porting. It will also prove very difficult to bring a camera right into where I am porting. We have a laporoscope here but no way to stream digital video with it. That is more or less what I would need. I just see a bunch of questions about porting and see a lot of clean up stuff that can be taken to a whole new level with the right info. The main target of discussion is how technical do we get or do we dumb it down a lot so it makes more sense for people that don't dream about engines. Price point will also need to be discussed. Obviously the more time and detail we put into it, the more it would cost us. I could certainly publish a PDF document a whole lot cheaper than a fancy video. I also have no idea where I will find the time to do this. Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
