Has anyone heard anything about the menace 85? It seems to be the phantom 85 v4. Just curious if anyone has seen or heard anything about it.

It's made by Smolik performance. They are not a very trustworthy company from what I have heard.

Do you think bicycle engines.com will come out with this one?

Eventually the phantom v4 will be out. It is rumored to be a 2 piece with more cooling capacity, but that is just a guess. Only time will tell
The "Menace" is a conversion. They are using cylinders from another supplier, or you can send them yours, then milling the top of the head off to make it a 2 piece, and combining it with their head design. It does work if you are willing to trust your money with the Smoliks, who have a not so good reputation. It solves the Phantom's only real flaw if you have a desire to go everywhere wide open all the time, which is heat.
It is not, however, the V4. That will probably come out sometime this year, but nothing official has been said about it yet.

I will be purchasing the phantom 85 V3 in about a week or so. Is there anything else I should buy, such as upgrades or anything when I do pull the trigger?

I had seen a post about the V4 but since nothing is set in stone about a release date I'm gonna go with the V3

The black and white clutch pads and a ngk Bpmr7a
A non windowed piston from hyway and remove the reed petals and run it as a piston port engine. It will actually make a bit more power that way. Otherwise, what GW suggested.
