Generic picture, it's all there.

However, no one pays $50 for a Big Mac.........I'm funny about liking to see what I'm paying for........

lol...yea ed i tend to enjoy knowing what i am going to get before i swipe my credit card to pay for it...not get a suprise when i open the box

[dajogejr]

Fair enough...I understand.
Send Bob a note via Ebay, and ask him for a picture.

Several people I know have bought his kit and are 100% happy with it...but I see your point. There's nothing to it, really. 4 rubber plugs, low pressure gauge and a ball to pump air....

just to make this clear...we werent knocking waht is being sold in th slightest...just that the whole kit wasnt in the picture

[dajogejr]

No No...I understand!! Fine point indeed....
I personally have dealt with Bob of R&B racing, so...it's easy for me to tell you what is good and what isn't based on my own personal experiences.

However....it's your dollar, not mine, and I completely understand, especially since you have no dealings with him.

It's all good....

the leak down test is good if you have all the equipment to make it. If you have a serious leak though and even easier way to test is, pull the left side case off, fire the bike up and use a propane cylinder/tourch to test it. Dont light it up just use the propane and hold it near the carb boots, and the left side crank area. With the propane coming out and it started, if it stutters and dies at either area then you know you have a air leak.

Has anybody here used one of these before? are they any good? and do i have to run the heat cyles on the banshee before i do this test or can i just do it before the bike has ever been run?

This one is no longer available, can you guys point me in the right direction to a good leakdown tester that won't break the bank?
