I have Keihn 35mm Air Strykers on my 98 Banshee. I was thinking about polishing or chroming them to match everything else on my bike.

Does anyone have advice on polishing or chroming carbs?

Are they aluminum or steel?

 

Anybody have info?

 

I am sure that you could polish the carbs because I am pretty sure that they are cast aluminum. However it really doesn't matter. The metal polish I have works on all metals.

 

they are aluminum and yes u can polish them, my advice is to get it really smooth maybe with some steelwool and then get a buffing wheel on a dremil since there are alot of really tight spots to get. but make sure that the surface is smooth

 

Hey... How do you find those air strykers... Would appreciate a reply as I am thinking about putting them on my Banshee...

 

Just about any hop-up shop will sell them. Off the top of my head LRD will have them. 503-661-6700

 

Well, I pulled them off today and took them to a polisher. I should have them back in a few days. We shall see!

When I pulled them off, I turned the air/fuel mixture screws in all the way so the polishing wheel wouldn't catch them. I found that one carb had the screw out 2 1/2 turns and the other 3 1/2 turns.

When I reinstall them, shouldn't I turn them out exactly the same number of turns? Any advice on how many turns they should be out or how do I adjust them so I achieve maximum performance?
