BigRed350x Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I've always been a do-it-myself kinda guy. The only thing I send anything out for is stuff I really can't do in-house. (porting and trenching) other than that I do it myself. So I'd say shop around and read up and figure out what it is you are really looking for and go from there. Sounds like you know you want a duner. So you need to look into porting, bigger carbs, head, reeds, crank, heavy duty clutch setup of some kind, pancake bearing, shift star mod, longer swinger, a-arms, shocks... My bike runs great on gas or methanol, just change out my domes and switch carbs and I can run either. Its a great dune machine and does alright when I do some play drag racing with friends. I had gorr port my cylinders and did all the other work myself. I'd say I have maybe $2k in my engine since I did a lot of the work myself, only had to pay for new parts (crank, cylinders, cool head, reeds, bearings, clutch basket, crap like that...) No sense in sending it to a builder when you can it all yourself in your garage with a little time and patience and the internet. Check out www.cascadeinnovations.net and www.rockymountainatv.com and you can get damn near any part you need from those two. cascade even has OEM banshee parts in stock. Call lynn at LC Performance if you need anything bigger (cheetah cylinders, lonestar products, HS customs products, case trenching if you go with a stroker and case boring if you go with a big bore cylinder) So I'd say... for a good duner.... ported cylinders 4mil good pipes (cpi, t5's or shearers) 33-35mm carbs on gas HD clutch setup seals, gaskets, new bearings for the rebuild have someone side-cut your trans gears and do the shift star mod and you will love the difference riding on the dunes. +2 to +4 swinger +2+1 a-arms wide axle aftermarket shocks ...and all the little goodies you read about for the engine and chassis. The 4mil in my sig is only for the dunes and it does great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old87shee Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 thanks for the input guys, unfortunately i work about 100 hours a week, and the new house doesnt have a shop yet, sooo.... im going to be sending it off to kevin and have him build me a 4mill duner, i looked at his sight and talked to a couple of guys about him, and he seems to be a stand up guy as far as his work and service are concerned as far as the swinger and stuff, i have a post in the wanted section of what i need, if anyone can help me out...

BigRed350x Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I know you have the resources to do porting on your own.............. :geek: Yeah, but its the patience of doing it myself without getting mad and throwing something. Ha Ha! I would also have to lay off the meth to get my hands to stop shaking long enough to turn the motor that runs the tools on, let alone long enough to do any kind of nice porting.

old87shee Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 yeh i havent heard anything bad from him yet, and when youre spending that kind of cash on anything, it makes you feel a little better about it when people give good feedback on whatever youre buying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
