Meat

Yea that makes very clear sense. And thats sorta what I pictured em too do. Iv heard of guys drag racing streetbikes and using tie-downs to compress thier front forks, sorta like a limiting strap but the oposite. know what im sayin Its late

It doesnt matter if one place calls it positive and another place calls it negative, what does matter tho is your lower ball joint should always be more forward than your upper ball joint. Stand over one of your front tires and look straight down at the A-arm ball joints where they attach to the spindle. Upper ball joint should be closer to the rear of the quad by just a fraction\few degrees. Like Push TheThrottle said, his is laid back about 3 or 4 degrees, the upper ball joint is just ever so slightly "laid back".

tell me more about theser limiting straps

This is the kinda brainstorming I was hoping to hear in the orig long travel thread. Is it absolutly impossible to modify a stock Banshee frame to work with long travel shocks ? Could a weld-in, long travel frame kit be fabbed up and reproduced ? gotta agree with the little period man, aka mighty abyss. ya gotta reposition front motor mounts. also need to fit two fat banshee exhaust pipes in that modded frame. Locogato I know you can pull this off. Grab a spare banshee frame and use your YFZ450 for reference and graft a front section on. Steering stem angles need to be copied too. Iv actually heard that the 450 could stand a little more rake in the front If you were my neighbor I'd be over your house right now takin' measurements and firing up the welder.

Danka Duece . Your onto something here. I should just stick to the repairs and mods forum. RNBRAD wrote: Yep, I hear that. Iv seen it alot too, people taking someones comment and turning it against them. Ya can't blame em tho, what might sound harmless to you could sound totally different to others. The "smilies" do help somewhat. Look, its late and im tired so lets drop my troubles conversation and get back to the topic allready. Frankly im half afraid to make a comment for fear of upsetting someone

thank you bansheefreestyler. Iv always liked you and enjoyed reading your posts. Your a funny kid with all the backflip stuff and the freestylin' with an old school Banshee on the rickety homemade ramps and shit. Iv seen all your vids Frankly I didn't like alot of the mean and nasty shit you got from ALOT of the people here when you first joined up. Sure it was funny at first, bustin your balls, but some guys were just plain rude to you and busted your ass everytime you posted something. I never stuck up for ya... but looking back, I should have. Good to see that your a well liked member now. Keep postin those video's and the nonsense about backflippin' the Banshee This negativity crap, this crap where ego's are more important than having fun, this hatred between forum members is running rampent here anymore and its turning alot of good people away.

ok cool, thats what I was told before. I thought it mighta went deeper than that. Like I said in the old long travel thread, I shoulda used more "smilies" to show walter I wasnt being a jerk. Im thinkin' tho..... what snide comments on the side did I make, and when did I cower ...... and what the hell are you talking about "wanting pity" anyways Whenever I would try to explain my postings\stand up for myself, Id get the "whiney bitch" shit you give me. I asked Walt what comments he didnt like, and he never responded. I apoligized to the guy for pissing him off for whatever reason he got pissed off, and I get "I want pity". I think I pissed him off when I said that Gibson products were expensive and they're geared more towards the full time quad racer than the rec rider. Thats about as snide as it gets and frankly there's nothing wrong with that comment and it wasnt said under my breath. I dunno man. Its fuckin' weird that he get so worked up that he wont' even visit or post here anymore. We cant even agree to disagree, cause we agree on just about everything that was discussed about front suspension. I just kept asking more questions and he thought I was making snide comments I guess. WTF walter... how am I, just an average guy with a high school education, working a blue color job... how am I susposed to know all this crap about frame geometery and angles and flag placement without asking my questions. If anyone here has been reading my posts for the past 5 years, they should know I ask alot of questions. My thoughts are.... that I asked Walter to many questions, asked him too many times to explain things and he took it as... me trying to fuck with him. When I tried to make amends, I get told I was being coy and looking for pity. All I wanna do is work 40hrs a week, be a good dad to my son, ride my quads and have fun chatting about them here at bhq. I have no alterier(sp) motives to chip away at someones character. Anyways..... monkeyman I wanna be your buddy, lets start fresh. A word of wisdom to everyone here. A little "ball bustin" could get you in alot of trouble. Watch what you type, what could mean one thing to you, could mean something totally different to someone else. A'la Loco's thread about de-tuned cub cylinders. His first post in that thread seemed very harmless to me and next thing ya know there's guys jumpin' all over him. Its fuckin' wrong man. never take this shit too seriously and keep smiling. lets get back on subject now . sorry for hijacking the thread(not looking for pity )

hey monkeyboy you can suck my cock. You can call it bitching, I call it sticking up for myself. Iv helped literaly hundreds of people on this forum, through emails and with my old website, sold and traded parts, made lots of freinds and met alot BHQ members, you have no clue that iv been posting here since the very beginning of this forum... and NEVER NOT ONCE have I had words with anyone here before Walter ripped into me. Im about as nice a guy as you'll find. I fucking bend over backwards for people here. Walter and Brooke didnt try to "school me" because I "asked my questions like a bitch", it was something deeper that had em pissed. What, I don't know ? Brooke said that "it was the way I asked" and I was "being coy". fucking bullshit if you ask me. Walter wont even say what pissed him off. Here's a guy Iv known for 5 or so years, talked freindly too many a time.... we've sold each other parts, traded parts.... never had a single problem with the guy. I don't know what set him off, I tried to explain that I wasnt' being "coy" when I asked my questions. If anyone would take the time to read what I wrote, I agreed with everything he said about the banshee geometery being too fucked up to be worthwhile. But only a few newbie members saw that, while others pulled out thier knives and stabbed me in the back. . show me where "I got schooled" ? When Walter gave me the big lecture on how to run a business ? Loco, we wrote nearly identical comments on this high price subject. "4130 chromoly tig welded is 4130 chromoly tig welded" why did I get "schooled" by Walter and you got a civilized reply like I was asking for. Why did I get jumped, what did I do to piss people off ? Someone tell me ? Brooke, wanna explain again what I said that was so bad that Walter wont post here anymore ?? I'v been riding quads since '85 and three wheelers years before that, I ride twice a week everyweek... for the past 20 years. Im involved with all the local hairscrambles and the GNCC circuit, I ride with the top pro racers in the country. While you fuckers ride the sand maybe three times a year and think you know everything there is to know about everything. So once again "monkey" you can suck my big freaking cockmeat you POS know-it-all.

I got my ass chewed out for asking this same question. How come I get shit when I ask why stuff cost so much.

Do it Ben ! Run big-ass 19 inch shocks, 250r frame, and make it RZ powered and you got a pretty neat kwad. It would be a great desert XC racing machine You'd prolly need a longer swingarm like a +1 possibly.

The circa 1987ish thrash band "M.O.D." once wrote these lyrics: USA for Africa, what a fuckin' scam Charity begins at home, what about our land ? Im sick of people starving, but do you think I care? Let them all die hungry, so I can breath their air. anyone recall those lyrics

No Jeff, they're not Blaster pegs. If I remember correctly, Blaster footpegs are 2 inches lower and 2 inches back compared to a Banshee's pegs. These Roll's are made to fit a Banshee, not a Blaster. The new high offer to beat is $121.00 I'll be gone all day tomorrow\saturday.

$106.51 is the new high offer Hope everyone read this: "They're mounted so they're 1 inch lower and 1 inch farther back that the stock footpeg location. They bolt up to the stock mounting location, they're just a lil' lower and a lil' farther back than stock."

94.50

$76.78 high offer

Iv been listin' Banshee parts in the Online Auction section and I still browse the boards. I just keep my mouth shut tho after the ass reamin' I got for no good reason. When I read this thread it just got me goin' again and I had to play devil's advocate and stoke the fire. I really don't feel welcome here, so I'm gonna continue to lurk and read. I still enjoy most of the personalities here, so I still visit, but keep quiet.

You cant have long travel suspension on a Banshee without unridable bumpsteer, jeez guys. There is no need for any more discussions, opinions, questions or anything on this subject. Monkeyboy, start berating these guys with there silly long travel fantasy.

Ok, I got two guys offerin' $70 bucks, so someone's could possible win em for $70 bucks Keep the offers comin' in. Repeat: Two different guys have offered $70 for the pegs.
