NOS Power Bands
Does your 2-stroke bog down when you crack open the throttle or just feel downright gutless as of late? It could be a worn or stretched power band! Replace your old one with a quality NOS one from me NOW while they're still available. Price is $999.99 per power band and shipping is free to anywhere in the world (except Barbados).

Re: NOS Power Bands
What the hell is a power band? Must advance the cam 

I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: NOS Power Bands
Josh you do of course know the reason why they dont ship to Barbados free is because all the power bands are grown in a field that I own there on the island.
I am now getting a shipment of a new hybrid type band packed up for export; these are the new broad torque low rpm type that are used specifically for riders under the age of 30.

Re: NOS Power Bands
Josh, where have you been hiding ? This has been a long time internet joke. You'd be surprise though, how many people actually think a power band is some kind of physical part on a bike.

I wouldn't when I see some of the questions from ' I just bought my first smoker' posters.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Re: NOS Power Bands
I'd like to order two different powerbands for my GT750. I need one low wide powerband for street use and a quick change top end powerband for track use.
Do you have the quick change kit with electronic controls that shifts bands on the fly?
4 strokes call them MAPS for some reason. How you get a map out of a powerband is beyond me. Maybe it's a goodle app

Re: NOS Power Bands
I knew posting that would get the real jokers out of hiding.
Allan, I will not ship free to Barbados because I know you Islanders are loaded "a field that I own on the island" and will pay anything to make sure your bike is perfect.
Richard - My NOS bands, unlike Allan's cheap repros, can be installed in conjuction with an expanding clutch system to create huge torque at low RPM's AND lots of horsepower in higher RPM's, basically you get the best of both worlds.
I'll always remember one scene from a Supercross movie some riding friends and I had been anxious to see years ago. The scene went something like: a professional rider had just turned in a great lap time then pulled up to a group of fans who went wild. "Nice powerband!" someone said. Problem A was assuming it was something you could actually see on the bike. Problem B, the epic fail on the script writer's part, was that it was actually one of the new 4-stroke bikes that had just come out! Not that 4-strokes don't have power bands but they are definately not something touted about them, actually quite the opposite.

Re: NOS Power Bands
I had to order a special wide powerband for my GT. It may have been aftermarket
