Boost bottle for the carbs



Just finished painting the boost bottle hammered black hoping it helps hide some of the scrathces and wear spots

New Parts new Mods







So when I decided to do the Yamaha Banshee carb boots and boost tube I found something out thje banshee reed cages dont fit my motor nor do the RD reed cages fit the banshee cab boots so time to modify. The stock RD carb boot is on the left and the Banshee one on the right you can see the size differences.



Once I got that done then noticed that the Banshee carb boots have a larger opening than my reed cages so I decided to port the reed cages to better match up.

SCUMBAG Tad

All over the piston too!!!


And everything else



I must be doing something wrong

Something to think about.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today!

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for the recycling refund, you would have received $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink
heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.

And as a bonus...
A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that on average Americans drink 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that the average American gets about 41 miles to the gallon!

Makes you damned proud to be an American!

Now get out and ride before winter hits.
