I think it's brilliant what you're doing, it seems that not much is bolt on so really you're building your bike not bolting it together.

I can't wait to see the finished project. [smilie=worthy.gif]

keep it up!

I got the info from Driven. The only difference between the Super Bike Grip and the Grippy is the diamond pattern. I'm working on getting one of these throttles. If I wait, they might sell me a custom one with gold/polish or gold/raw aluminum, instead of the gold/black. :smt004 http://jokermachine....

Is plastic welding supposed to look like this?
*****no*****

IMHO the engine parts will be made from Yamaha for many years to come because the Banshee is such a popular quad and also a massive aftermarket industry has popped up to support the Banshee, I'd say we're probably good for another decade...minimum. I'm building an RZ based bike but not using any gen...

Thanks guys My only reservation about going HUGE is: 1. Vibrations (2 massive pistons would cause a lot of vibration I'm sure) 2. Revs, getting that much fuel in and out of the cylinders would mean that it can't rev too high, which may be nice on the street but I'm sure it'd be a handful! That frame...

1077cc!!!!!!! I couldn't even imagine what that would be like? you could tow semi trailers with that! I never even considered anything that big....You're evil SEB! :twisted: I like it! 800cc in a bike that weighs about 130kg wet would be a ground to ground missile, then I'd HAVE to ship it to Philli...

Tinker toy

OK a decision has been made! I bought an Aprilia RS250 frame, I plan on getting some mattoon cases and a cheetah 535 kit, I'm going to TRY and get carbon bodywork for the bike and I have some ideas about which rear end I want to use...I can't have it looking like a normal RS250 now can I? The front ...

You should rebuild and rejet the carbs since the jets will be metering fuel AND oil instead of just fuel.
That's a really good point, I hadn't thought of that.

I was going to run premix so thanks for the heads up on that.

The vendor isn't happy because I made the purchase in October, but he still offered me a refund. Gotta give him props for that. That's the type of guy you want to deal with, mistakes happen to everyone but not everyone owns up to them or stands behind their products, I wouldn't hesitate to use RG50...

Hi Smoker try my friend at:


http://www.twostrokeshop.com/

The rads are quite nice and I know what he's been through to get them custom made, he put one on his RZ when it was in the mid 30c (about 95f) and it made a huge difference over the stock one.
