LRD Pics please. Email (if easier): dlb "AT" walls-swfl.com ^^ Stopping spam.

They don't have to be perfect...just no large dings or bad rust or anything.

No thanks...I have black stockers..............and they suck [performance wise; they are badass if you like stock.]

I would do Noss before Chariot...just personal preference. I bought PD though because of the killer deal I got.

I'll keep seeing whats out there...thanks for the advice guys. :beer:

WANTED: CPI Inframes T5s T6s DMC 916s I want some more than the others, but I am interested in all of them. I'd rather have bare finish or pc black instead of chrome, but I'll take what I can get. If they are in bad shape, don't bother...they are going on my '05 so I want new/near new/restorable.

Haha...that was a one time thing with some stockers. Now it's time to explore the aftermarket tire selections... What do you guys think of Hoosiers or similar for road/track, and getting Razr/Holeshots for offroad?

Here's a supplemental question: "Who cares?" Not being an asshole, honestly I don't think anyone cares though.

I've heard how good both of those tires are. I'm afraid to get them, because I will be doing a good amount of street/strip, and don't want to tread to get eaten fast.

I need a tire that is good for hard pack/road, track, and trail. If there isn't one, then hard pack/road and track alone will do. 2005 Banshee SE All stock When I plan to order tires, I will have installed: T5s, K&N Pods, PD Coolhead, 21CC domes, TORS removed, Jetting, ported stock reeds/VForce 3s.

+1.

Where were you when I bought mine?

Saying that you are going to try to not hit bushes and trees, etc. when riding to save your plastics is a bad idea. It's going to happen, whether you like it or not... [When trail riding.] You'd be suprised how much a branch here and there will dull your bike up. I've been using FW1...it sprays out of a can like WD40, and you wipe it down and off. Pretty easy. I have never used Mothers, but I'm going to look into it, taking the price and how well they work into account. Maybe I'll switch.

Flush the coolant. Run Enging Ice in her. Grease all the zerks you can find. Clean and lube the chain. +1 on Gear Saver. Find out the compression and post it back here. Should do pretty good. :happy:

+1. You hit everything right on the head...especially the doing it yourself part.

Congrats on getting a Banshee. You have now only begun to start living your life, haha. Don't bring it to the shop... I have full faith in most of the guys on here, that they can save you a bunch of money and trouble. Do what they say, and you can't go wrong. Edit--post on here first when you have a problem before fixing it yourself, or going to a shop.

Looks like you did a good job securing them. Do research on your self defense laws. In the state of FL I can pretty much shoot to kill anybody in my yard, or anybody that I feel is threatening my life. But I can't hold someone against their will at gun point (to wait til the cops come, that's kidnapping.) So they say if you don't shoot to kill, blow their knee caps off. You should know just in case you ever do run into anybody stealing your shit.

1.6i, your bike is sick man.

I forgo I posted this, lol. I'll have to try some of these out next time I get to see the 'Shee. I'm moving right now, so it's at my parents place. Unfortunately, it may not be able to make it over to my new place, as I have no where to put it. :-/ I'll check it out soon though. What are the funny warning labels like anyways? I'm curious now, lol.

Pretty much, lol. We'll see who gets to bolt on the T5s, and spin the(ir) wheel(s). :happy:

Lmao.

^^ Put me for 220.

I was told the spacers dont make much difference performance wise. Take 'em off and sell 'em or something. I have no idea, but I'd guess it would become a bit richer. At least in theory I'd believe that.

I heard they come jetted wrong from the factory.
