BigRed350x Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 This is ridiculous. Does Cascade even build their own motors? Redline, Herr Jugs, FAST, M&M or Wildcard would all be better choices than Cascade. I suggest calling one of our other sponsors before going to a company that specializes in shiny parts. They do more than you think. The store-front is a lot of bling parts and chrome stuff, but they do a lot behind the store front that you don't see unless you go there. They do build engines themselves, and their shop is just down the road from Twister, who does their port work. I use kevin @ herr jugs for my case work and port work, but get pretty much every part I need from cascade. They are great guys to deal with and have never let me down. (which is more than I can say for some of the other builders...) - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Cascade is a great place to get seat covers, billet and even other parts. BUT, I would NOT let them build a motor for me. They definetely send out there cranks, I have been told that they send out their porting and machine work. So at best they are just assembling your motor, and if there are problems, then you will probably end up with someone else involved in it also. Which means it will take forever to get it straightened out. And I don't think Chris knows as much as he wants you to think he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUILDER Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I have no idea why you would go woth Cascade when there are so many more options of people who you could buy from who actually do their work in house. Nothing against Cascade but they do not do their own port work they are a billet shop that does bolt ons. Call Cameron at Redline or call back to Jeff at FAST but give a complete in house shop a shot before you spend your money. I can promise you that is you give Cameron a call you will not have a single bad thing to say about his customer service! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfSand Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Jeff at FAST is a great guy, I met him last summer when he came to ride St. Anthony's, and he always gets my parts out FAST! I would go with FAST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camatv Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 any shop will be much more likely to deal with you when you start handing them $$$ im not sure what shops can actually fully disasemble a crank and reasemble it from ground up including full welding and balance. most shops can handle simple crank repairs no problem. a lot of places send out things for specialty work..

DallasGDub Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 any shop will be much more likely to deal with you when you start handing them $$$ This is one of the main things I like about M&M, FAST, OCD, Shearer, Stellar, Camatv, SoCal, Herr, ext.... the list is long. All these people are just some that have spent time answering questions for me without me spending a dime first. Not just the first time around either....LOL... no bait and switch. /nut swing.

dcalsv02 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Chris from cascade told me in person that he does their porting. Having said that, they haven't been doing their porting for very long. I would reccomend site sponsors like everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandSlingerOR Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thats weird about a year back this guy Mike told me he ports for Cascade! I was having problems with my banshee, I took it there. They fixed it sorta, then I went to Cam at Redline. He did a great job, problem solved.

A Serval and Cub are both made by CP, so they look the same. But they have different porting. A Cub is set up for more topend power and to drag with. A Serval is more for a pump gas friendly duner with usable power for low, mid, and top. Think of a Serval like an alternative to buding up a your stock cyl. It will have a lot of power, on pump gas. So it is cheap to ride. Build the bike according to what type of riding you want to do. Drag, dune, trail, mx, ext.....The better the bike is set up for you, the more fun it will be. Side note, a Cheetah is something different than both the Cub and Serval. This is just info, some people dune Cubs, some drag Servals. Some people get bored, and want more. Some get bored with the big bikes, and go back to down. LOL.. all part of the addiction. My fav race is between some the stock cyl drag bikes. I am more impressed with those, then any other bike.

Cubs and Servals are both from the Cheetah family of cylinders from CP Industries, Inc.. A true Cheetah will have power valves but Cubs and Servals do not. Cheetahs also run bigger reeds. A Cub cylinder is set up and intended for mostly wide open throttle, high RPM horsepower. As in drag racing. I wont say it cant be duned or trail ridden. Lets just not go there now. A Serval Is set up and intended for a wider, more useable power band. They will make good horsepower from mid to high rpm. IMHO, I would say that if you intend to do anything with your bike besides wide open dunes, a Serval is the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
