this whole thread is a bit of a joke.

any other opinions? also, what would be recommended for the type of riding, little dune, little trail, no racing...

let me know if that deal falls through, i'm down in houston and i might be interested.

i think you're buying the bling factor, lol. nice looking products, i was on their site earlier and noticed that there prices were a bit on the high side.

ok, scratch that, I think I just discovered +2 - +1 two inchs wider on both sides and one inch forward, now if someone will explain the purpose to that and what benifits will it have from that.

wow, that deffinitely sucks man, I feel for you, I get nervous every time I have something expensive being shipped, I stay on edge till it gets to my door. hopefully it'll turn up or you'll get some compensation that meets your needs.

Ok, so I've searched around and so far I don't think I've come across the answer I'm looking for. This is my first shot at actually building a quad and so I want to do this right. I'm in need of some A-Arms but have some questions, I see alot of things as +2+1 as far as A-Arms and I've been a bit confused, so I was wondering if someone could explain it to me a bit. Second, what is going to be a good setup for all around, I want to dune, do some small dragging, some trail riding, etc...what is going to give me the best outcome, should I just pick up some stockers? or should I look at some aftermarket ones, sorry for the noob questions and thanks in advance.

dibs 3, cash in hand and ready.

i'm tempted to buy it, let me talk to the wife first.

something I also mean't to ask, I've seen various times about frames that got me wondering, is there a difference in J-Arm frames or different types of frames that are better, also, is there a better year style frame to look for or are they all pretty much the same.

see that's kind of what I was thinking, in one sense, if I did it all brand new pieces then it'd be a brand spankin' new shee which wouldn't be such a bad idea, but the part that makes me a bit nervous is the little parts that I wouldn't know about and forget to have put on that would get me in trouble, I'm going to be doing my research into this and seeing what I can come up with. There seems to be a ton of great information on this site and the fella above recommended some sites, I want to take my time, do things right, I want a nice clean flashy bike but yet something I can have a blast with.

as awesome as that would be, i don't have the full funds for a full bike right now, right now i have $1100 from the previous sale of my other quad, so that should atleast get me the frame and a few other things with it, i want to take my time and do something that will have my touch 100%, i think it'll be neat telling people i built such and such from the ground up, the long run cost isn't a big deal as i'm not planning on building up a sick banshee and then selling it, i plan to sport it and what not, so the extra cost doesn't bother me because i know i'll be the one abusing it

I guess I should have added, I won't be riding it any time soon, I'm kind of wanting to take my time and actually learn how to build it up, I've been wanting a project for some time other then my Xterra and I just sold my other quad so that I could use the money towards this new project. I want something that looks flashy but still runs awesome when I want it too. To all the builders on this site and even modifiers, I give you guys/gals props for some of the sickest machines i've seen around, so my hats off to you fellas, I'm looking forward to learning as much as you guys are willing to offer

So I signed up here finally after doing some looking around, I just sold a Polaris 335 so that I could start a ground up build on a banshee. Question is, is it really worth doing a ground up build or buying one already built and stripping it down? Also, this will be the first time I ever attempt this so any advice or websites that might help would be awesome. Is there also a complete parts guide as to each part that I'll need to complete my ground up build, i'm not looking to build a stocker, I want something that has some good speed to it as well as look nice. I've been looking for frames, is there a year preference that I should look for and does anyone by any chance have one for sale? I hope to be a long term member here so i look forward to hearing everyones advice and seeing some real beauties! thanks for having me here and sorry in advance for my noob questions!
