Sounds good, just lemme know.

I don't believe it matters either, but just in case I need the right side, all I need is a section big enough to get both holes, probably about 6 to 8 inches. I figured it'd be easier to weld that way rather than trying to reach in between the boltholes with a tig torch trying to get arc.

yeah that'd work fine, I've got a TIG welder and shit so I can fix it up myself, hit me with a price.

I'd greatly appreciate it, I'm trying to get it back to as close to factory as possible with all the fasteners and shit.

Well, the lower motor mount on the right side of my shee, the one on the downtube I'd guess you call it, the lowest hole was stripped out. Left it up to my dad to fix it while I went on vacation and he fucked it up royally. I was wondering, since it looks like a threaded insert, if anyone knew where I could find these types of inserts? Or what they're called?I'll just get my fingers on a stepdown bit and drill the old one out and put a new one in and weld it if I can find the right size. I'm not exactly sure what size the bolt & threads are either. Doing a complete resto of the shee. New powdercoat, wheels, top end, shocks, plastic, etc is in the works. Any help would be appreciated!

Damn dude, what a mess. Is the stock rear shock any count? not blown or anything?

I have two good front reservoirs for 01 and older. Both in good working order, switched to all new stuff so I could have a brake light and keep from getting splattered. Make an offer.

I have a complete harness, for 95-96 models, with cdi keyswitch and run switch. Stator plug is the same as all new models, 97 up, so I'm guess it's off a 96. not sure when they changed the stator plug. Lemme know if you're interested, can take pics if needed.

Come up with what you want for it, I'm sort of near you, I can come pick it up if the price is right.

I was thinking the same thing. This just doesn't look right. Scam maybe? :shrug:

Would you be interested in a set of black Toomey T-5's?

To get the nut off you need a 1-1/4" half inch drive socket and an air gun, that usually does the trick. You'll twist your nuts off trying to get it off by hand with no clutch. I had the same problem with my clutch adjustment pin, I just put loctite on the pin after I got it adjusted and tightened the nut up. Holdin strong, even at a 9000 rpm dump on blacktop. heh.

New Raptor 700 is a joke. Dude had a Factory 4 slip on and knarlies and he weighs like 140 lbs and my 240 lb buddy has an 02 Banshee with T-5's, cool head, pro-flow and 40 over Vito's superstock pistons and the Raptor might as well have been a Polaris. Heh. Still no comparison to a Banshee.
