its worth waiting and buying a nice set of risers. i got the ones that pivot and i love them. there real nice and sweet looking too. i think they ran me around 80 bucks if i remember.

let me know if you need some flexx bars. i have brand new quad racer high and low bars for $275 SHIPPED To you door.

i always call him because he knows alot about banshees. example is when i ordered my billet impelllar. he reminded me i might want to replace my gasket and clutch cover hardware which i compl. forgot about. In the end he saved me alot of money and time.

i just bought some from www.roxspeedfx.com there real nice. i got a 2 inch rise and my stock cables are fine. i run quad low bend bars with the risers. call rox and ask them if the 2 inch risers will work w stock bars? good luck and let us know how you make out. if you need any help pm me. peter

i have a 35 mm and love it. go w the the 35

Ty dont forget you installed a installed a new rotor the same time you installed the brake pads. the rotor you installed looks different from the stock rotor on a banshee and im wondering if its thicker?

need skid plate for the rear end of my bros banshee. its an o3. looking for a stock one or an aftermarcket one. have money in hand.

sweet thanks

depends if you have stock or aftermarket a arms.

this dvd is going to make a great christmas gift to myself

i actually watched two rented movies w my girl over the weekend with no computer on my lap? lol

im thinking everything is sold because he has not answered anyones question since the middle of oct.????

i ride trails and didnt think it would pose a problem to cut my front fenders but boy was i wrong. i ride alot of wet trails in the fall winter and spring and i would get really dirty because they were cut. i adv. bought some new ones. i wouldnt do it if you ride trails. just my .02 cents

i like your banshee the way it is, the only thing i would pc is the rims. i think something minor like that will really change the look. is the chrme bad on the pipes?

are the Burgard a arms? send them out to get reamed.

sweet set up bro

missed ya, XC, then you should probably go w the +2+1, thats what most guys run. washburn would you agree that dual rate is the way to go for shocks because of the small length of the banshee shock. wouldnt you say that tripple or quad is just to many springs for a short shock?

with that said i guess it really depends on what he will be racing, xc or mx? as for shocks your probably right save up the extra 200 and get something kick ass, although i have heard really great stuff about the pro g series, theres a guy on this site that runs them and really likes them. im pretty sure the sundal racing team runs them too. also i figured with the budget i figured the pro g series would be a good investment. washburn, ive never ridden the elkas so i cant say. it sounds like you have a better idea from actual exp. in the shock department so you should probably listen to him on the shocks. i can say i love my axis though,

washburn gave you some really good advice. now the next qeustion is are you racing mx, or gc or both? now being on the budget like you said i would keep your tires for right now as long as they have good tread. if they have bad tread and you need some new ones i personally love my kenda claws up front there pretty light and have great gripping tread that will really dig in deep. there also considerbly cheaper than alot of other tires of the same caliber like maxis. for the rear i remember somebody saying that the yfz 450 rear tires are the way to go because there a great bang for the buck esp. when your on a budget. ill have to look more into the rears and let you know if this is correct. As far as size goes, it all depends if your racing mx or xc? i would then get a set of ASR A ARMS. i run the asr and i love them. just make sure you get the fully adjustable ones like washburn said. you can get either the +2+1 which is what i think most people go with or +3+1 wich is what i went with and love them. either one is a good choice. i know alot of people say go with the +2+1 for the woods over the +3+1 but i really dont see what an extra inch on each side is going to really do? but thats just me and so far i have had no problems in the woods. if your racing mx i would still go w the +3+1 alitlle more stable. call mike from ASR hes a great guy and he will answer any questions you have. there a arms are really nice, great quality, great price and great warrenty. you will get a lifetime warrenty on the a arms. if for any reason your a arm bends they will replace it for free and their one of the only companies that stands buy there warrenty. a arms are exp. and it sucks with no warrenty. there number is 435-577-2266 and again the guys name is mike. make sure you tell him peter v or peterlocal22 sent you and he will give you there lowest price available. im pretty sure there prices differ on different sites, for example their web page and ebay. as long as you say peter v or peterlocal22 he will take care of you. the a arms come w tie rods too, and if you go +3+1 you will need longer brake lines which they have. if you +2+1 im not sure if you need lines right now and if you dont then thats more money saved at this time. just ask mike he will know. i think for the fully adjustable a arms, heims, bushings, tie rods, your looking at around $400.00 and the brake lines are probably 50 bucks. now i also read some good stuff on wicked a arms but have no idea because i have not persoanlly rode them. depending on what you get for a arms you will then need aftermarket shocks. you can go on eaby and try to find a used pair that matches up with your weight, your a arms, and riding style. axis, works, elka, etc look at washburns list he had all the big names that are good quality. another recomendation i would make is to call works. i know they were running a sale w 10% of all shocks about a month ago. anyways i would recomend the works pro 6 series with ressies. brand new i think there 679 brand new. well with the a arm and shocks your looking at about 1200 and then im not sure if you need the tires or not. if you dont need the tires look into some fasst flexx bars. i just got a pair and i will be trying them this weekend and i will let you know if they reduce arm pump. if you got a set of these it would bring you right to the 1500 mark. im not sure about the stabilizers because ive never tried one but i have heard great things about them. but i think like a scott stabilzer might bring you past the 1500 dollar mark. anyways i would then save up for a -2 swing arm and an extended axle. then your almost there. hope this helps pm me if you need any more advice. thanks and good luck.

dont do it if you ride trails. i did it and ended up buying another set because it was a pain while riding.

i had tcs didnt like them so i sold them a couple months ago. then bought axis and love them. go with the best if you have the money, axis all the way.

i have never ridden a banshee w 450 shocks so i cant answer that from exp. but i know alot of guys on here who have. if your running stock a arms then the yfz shocks will bring your ride height up alittle and better than stock shocks esp. because you can adjust them. this would be a better set up for xc over mx because of the higher ride height and the narrower front end. if your running the yfz 450 a arms on your banshee then the 450 shocks will bring your ride height down which will be better for mx. if your getting the shocks for free from your buddy then i say go for it and try it out see what you think. If you have to buy them then i would say it depends on how much money they are. i would only buy them if they were at a good price were you could get your money back or maybe make some money if you need to sell them. if there more than $150 ish i would say hold off, take the $$ and invest them into some aftermarket shocks. im not saying get the top of the line shocks because i know you have a limited budget, so try works, or maybe find some used elkas, tcs, something like that. pm me your budget and ill figure out a good little budget for you. i also have a pretty good hook up with american racing a arms if you need it. i would really buy aftermarket parts for the banshee over the yfz 450 set up if you can afford.

not sure about the problem with the cylinders maybe it as something to do w the carbs not being in sync. but thats just a guess i really am not sure. however i have had the throttle problem. i would chec the throttle line and make sure its not sticking anywhere. start at the thumb work your way down to the carb and evan check the slides on the carbs. this same thing happened to me when i was removing the tors system and put in a 2 into 1 carb. hope this helps

its the one on the very bottom of the carb.

with money being tight right now i would keep the fatty's. ive never ridden the fatty's but ive heard they have good low end which is what you need. with that said i would spend the money on the front end first. after everthings together and you get some more money you can then figure out if you want to change the pipes.
