"Sooner, Smoother, Stronger." that's the promise.
Are these a Good Thing - I just bought some new on EvilPay - $150.
I'm not 100% sure how 'll use them, and it might be a while before I fire it up to find out

- the price was right and the PayPal full

They look fancy anyway.
What do they fit?

Great price! They look like Banshee/RZ to me... Did he have any more?

Yeah they are Banshee. They were a private one off sale. Apparently he got them for a Banshee project that got abandoned

Yes..they are a great improvement.. I have used them on rz, banshee, tzr and dt200l.. throttle responce is improved greatly..they give the power a "fuller" feeling.. and very smooth..like going from round slides to powerjet carbs..

Good to hear. I thought that the hype and promise fitted with the theory as I knew it. The multiple reeds give multiple tips where even a small flex will give more air movement.
I also picked up a set of Roberts chambers a little while ago ($250 on evilPay). I know little about them but over time I've heard the Roberts name mentioned as a respected 2t tuner. And they 'look right'; tapered head, fat belly and a decent sized muffler.
Now I have to work out how I'll used them. It is tempting to whack them on the resto but I might resist that. Another project with the 'left overs'

maybe

So many projects, so little time (and money

)

This is his handy work..........
They has some 'street cred' done to them but pretty straight.
They seem to be a good gauge of steel and some thorough detail - lovely welds

. I haven't offered them upo yet but they were described as LC.
