HEY TOMSEAL6, WHILE YOUR HERE, HOW YA LIKE THAT 2002 SRX. IS THAT YOUR PICTURED RACING ? I LOVE MINE, GREAT SLED. I HAVE HAD GREAT LUCK RACING THAT SLED IN 1/2 MILE !! 3:16 (tony)
 
Yes that pic was me back in 2002 in Washington state at the Mt. Vernon Wa. Race Im just a small little dude HAHA

I have a few more pics. I use to race with mtnviper although that is not the same 2002 I have now. I havnt ridden this one yet after Don did all the work to it. I am having him put my 35.5mm bored carbs on and cut the headers after this season. I had him do Don's specialty on the top end last year LOL. Just got back from Iraq a few months ago so havnt ridden it but i get leave this year up in michigan for 3 weeks.

I talked to Bender last week and they aren't going out of business according to the gentleman I talked to. Their site is down for a re-design.

Don't know why they would lie about it, but who knows.
 
I HEARD BENDER IS DONE TOO. !! ANYWAYS TOM I USE MY 02 FOR EVERYDAY RIDING, HAVE A 2000 FOR ICE AND GRASS. YOU KNOW, I LOVE THE 8BU SET-UP. 3:16 (tony)
 
Yea Tony,

For 500 feet i use those weights with 4.5 in the tip,
Bender orange short spring with their 4mm and 8mm shim

51/43 with yamaha silver set at 70 19/40 gearing and carb needles up 135 mains for grass and stock jetting for snow

I have found nothing else to work better for me. I won a ton of races in January 2005 at the Lake Chelan Wa. snow drags

Im done with the grass for a long time anyways
 
Dam, not glad to hear this, I thought they were doing well with the turbos, even makin one for the new Phazers, I bought an 800 Big bore kit from them, what hapens now if i need a piston or cylinder? will SLP's fit/work? or anything else? Bender was not the best place to deal with but I won't even be able to get as much as 800 big bore Head gaskets now for my MMax, anyone have any ideas for me?? (in case i have trouble as I have raced this setup for a years now and it's only a matter of time for me to lose a piston/cylinder like everyone else)

raced this setup for years huh?????
interesting.
 
lol, type, for 'a year', not 'a years'... But im worried now as i reused my head gaskets once already, in goose after i blew a reed, i was leaking antifreeze, so i took off my peak head/bb domes and put the stock head on for more compression, and re-used the gaskets, they won't last another time off and on again.......
 
lie

Why would they lie, why stop now?? That's probably a big reason they went under. How many customers did Terry personally lie to about the reaction suspension being ready last year? First September, then October, then November, then maybe next spring. I called them 2 weeks ago or more about an exhaust can and they said they'd call me back............still waiting........
 
FRIEND OF MINE CALLED THERE TODAY AND THEY DID ANSWER PHONE. THEY TOLD HIM THEY WERE DOWN SIZEING !! WHATEVER THAT MEANS. 3:16 (tony)
 
Just talked to Bender US and they say they've just downsized and are focusing on performance parts. They are getting out of windshields etc.

Sounds like they are still in the game.

Cheers,
