Skiddz,

Are those your stockers? kinda hard to tell just by looking at them but if they are this means you removed your TORS Junk !! looks good i got a banshee i put a set of Mikuni flat sides on and holy hell did it bring that beast to life !!

Stockers yes and no. The TORS junk went bye bye a year after I bought the thing. Worthless system and always getting out of sync. Bought a Toomey "Whirlpull" twist throttle and junked the TORS when I installed that and my Toomey pipes.

The carb bodies are stock, but the throats have been milled a little bigger and now are 4mm taller than they are wide. I wanna say 32mm tall by 28mm wide but I don't remember the specifics. That mod let the monster breathe much better on the top end but still kept the bottom end crisp.

The new motor is a 400cc 4mm stroker (Wiseco Hot-Shot crank, Wiseco forged pistons) with porting by Sam Coe.. Stock head milled .020"
and the squish band area was tweaked a bit. The folks that hooked me up with all the goodies say it should put out about 65hp and have gobs of bottom end. I'm *maybe* a week from seeing how it performs.

caswell got the adapter you need i just went and got a motor just for that ..
These extenders are perfect for turning old electric motors into powerful buffing machines. Just attach to the shaft of your electric motor, tighten the grub screws and install the buffing wheel.

You'll love that buffer. It's got a lot of grunt to it, is quiet and the shafts are nice and long. I wish I had room for another one so I could set up one with sisals on both sides and one with loose on both sides...

I picked up a "dead" Baldor 1hp motor from an industrial liquidator today for $15. The knucklehead that I bought it from said it didn't run, but evidently he didn't see the broken wire inside the connection housing.. I pulled the cord off, chopped 2" off of it, reconnected everything and it spun right up..

Anyone know if these shafts are too hard to take a die to 'em to cut threads???

any good machine shop can do it for you ... you need carbide to do it ...
