80grit

You need a class A license in california to pull doubles. My buddy pulls a 20 footer enclosed behind his 5th wheel. He had a hitch installed on his fifth wheel and put anti sway bars on it after the first trip and pulls like a champ now. Without the anti sway bars, it was a white knuckler.

I clean the handle bar with rubbing alcohol first then spray carb cleaner into the grip and slide it on.

Gonna be a good lookin Banshee when your done.

ummm errrr I'm 50 yrs old and been married for 19 years so my bar hopping days are long over. So I couldnt steer ya in the right direction in that area. But if your into boating and wave runners, we have Lake Castaic 5 miles from Magic Mtn and Lake Pyramid another 5 miles north from there. In the summer when it is hot, we ride our quads and two wheelers at Gorman which is about a 30 minute drive north up the 5 freeway. There is a large equestrian community here if your into riding horses. We have alot of beachs within a 45 minute drive and they are packed in the summer. Snow skiing in the winter up in Big Bear Mtn. There is alot to do down in the valley too. Universal City Wok, House of Blues, Concerts, and the Shaqless Lakers. I would think with your trade (custom wiring) you would keep pretty busy. There are alot of custom shops in the area and I would think with all the studios down here, there would be opportunity there also.

I live in Santa Clarita also. Like Happy Hour said, I wouldnt live in Sylmar but here is a link that shows some apartments in the area. http://www.santaclaritaapartments.com/

Dang ... That looks painful. Makes me laugh every time I think about it after watching it. Thanks for sharing.

We bring the radar gun every trip. Just not sure which weekend in january we are going yet.

If any of you are out there from dec 26 to the 31st. We can shoot you on the radar if you want to check your top speed up the hill.

We have a big group going dec 26-dec 31.

Nice Videos thanks for shareing!

Just thought I would check :freakin_nuts:

One of our close freinds that use to ride and camp at Dumont with us, was killed at havasu when another boat T-boned them going 35 in a no wake zone. The guy that hit him just got convicted for DUI and vehicular manslaughter. 24 years in jail with no chance of parole for 20 yrs because it was his second offense for Dui.

Lonestar Raceing makes some D arms also.

I think the zip code for Dumont is 92384

Nice job. What do you charge to paint a helmet?

In my opinion, helmets should be the choice of the person’s in the vehicle. If they want to wear them, they should. They would be safer no doubt. But it should be the choice of the individuals. I see it as taxing the limited resources of law enforcement when there interest could be better served making the dunes safer in other ways.

my worries (being that im old ) is when you used to port and polish your bike it became diffacult to start. i want it to start as easily as it does now and beat the pants off predators and yfzs =I’ve never seen a quality port and polish make a banshee difficult to start. I’ve seen a wrong pilot jet installed make a banshee hard to start. Just choke one of the carbs on super cold days or nights. Run the kick starter down 3 times slowly to let the charge enter the cylinder, then give it a hard kick and vroom. do you have a link where i could find some of these parts i believe the banshees run a 33 mm carb is stepping up going to be a pain to start it . is there a givin thousanths to trim off head to get proper compresion. does trinity do that ?? i run 100LL fuel in my buggy ( i have to) so i already have the fuel. =Banhees stock use a 28 mm Mikuni carb. I run 38 mm Keihns and it starts first time everytime. Trinity can shave the head. Id stay around 170 lbs of compression on a gas dune bike. You could run your 100 octane in it or you could cut it 50-50 92 octane and VP C12.

They are all pretty good. The t5’s will give you more on the top end where Banshees make their horsepower. A stock banshee will run about 40 mph up the long comp hill at Dumont. These mods will get you around 55 mph. The difference between the t5 and fmf’s might be 1 mph. gearing is 1mph, tires might be 1-2 mph, tire pressure 1 mph. Either way you will be around 55give or take a couple mph’s. Id get the t5’s used but if you get a smoking deal on the fmfs…. lastley do you have a number for trinity. im already running the k&n filter with adapter that has the o ring and bolts into the old air box its the only mod that bike ever got and it was done at berts befor it left the store thanks guys for all these tips im forming up an opinion of what i need. with this a lil more info and ill send her in for surgery. =Id lose the air box To hard to get to the carbs to work on. This is the set up Trinitys # is 877 327-8697 James is the guy I use down there and is very knowledgeable and im definately going to twist grip i have thumblock on that thing after 1 min or 10 feet which ever comes first maybe trinity can ease my fears about an ill starting bike i'll sell it before ill except it. itsa pet peave of mine. and a bike chassi dyno shop ???

Tommey T5’s for pipes are great until you go to the big bore after market cylinders Send the jugs to Trinity in southern cal and get a stage 4 port and polish. I would let them shave the stock head also. The only advantage the cool heads have is replaceable domes. The stage 4 port and polish will really wake it up. Bore it .010 over and save the other bores for later Set of used Kehein 34 or 35 mm carbs running cel needles 6 inch K& N Filters with outerwears V Force Reeds no spacer Dyna programmable ignition Most of this stuff you can get used at 50% of the “new” costs As long as your jetted right, you will rip and it will be very reliable. But you may want to also consider a plus 4 inch swingarm. Will be a little light in the front end with these mods ?
