redwings

I just thought i would let everbody know....check your front wheel bearings and rotors. My right wheel bearings were bad causing my tire not to turn smoothly. My rotor was also warped putting more strain on the movement. I put new bearings in and new rotors with pads. Wheel turns like new. I gained 2 to 3 bike lenghts on the hill. You might not need more power....you could be losing some there.....LOL :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Wow...those look good....i think ill save a little more then get the cascade swinger...+6 looks real nice! Post Options

Ok....can you recommend any? I will also do some more searching.....thanks

Im thinking of getting a cascade +2 swingarm with the round house carrier. Any body have one? Good or bad? Im sick of this chain adjustment and want to upgrade. I know there a little pricey?

If you can get wicked a arms.....i love mine and did research and everbody who has them likes them...I got +2+1. They come powder coated, or bare metal and then i had mine chromed. You can see mine on a thread 2001 banshee reborn this forum. Good Luck!

Thanks Denny( flotek)....I appreciate your advice and im very happy with my dune port.....Now I just got my paddles and want to get her in the sand! Seat of the pants says she rips! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Thanks guys, I got the cover off of ebay.....it was built by um designs...... I will try to add the stock picture of it back when i bought it.......

X2 on Flotek also. I was happy with Denny. He was great with me. I have completly restored my 01 Banshee from the frame up. I will be posting pictures soon after I get my boss stator cover on there. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

My fronts are soft to..... I cant lock them up on asphalt....so i take reservoir cap off, bleeders off and let them drain slowly down the calipers while keeping a eye on the fluid level. After 30 min...i put the bleeders back on and thats it.... this must make a big mess.....is this right? I hate my front brakes....can you guys lock your brakes up on asphalt? Mine have always been shit?

I did some searches on the forum and people who use it like it...most use it because its cheaper and easy to get...you can get it at walmart...thats why im swithching :biggrin: :biggrin:

I think I want to switch to ATF type F. Can I just drain used oil and then switch? I used yamaha oil before. Thank you...... :biggrin:

My question is if you have your bike dialed in with all things being equal....will you have to rejet up or down usually after porting and please explain?

Im thinking about the Boss Billet Hubs....are there advantages to them? Do they last? Will it make me faster? Give us the details....

You Dont have to....But thats what there for. You might as well do it right the first time :biggrin:

Thanks Pete....I live in las vegas or i would take you up on that offer...so far it looks like 20x10x10 8 paddle haulers..... :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Bump..... Somebody please.....need help dont want to make a 200.00 plus mistake.....

I know I want Haulers or Extremes. However I dont know what size tire, rim and how many paddles. I want to be the fastest my bike can be shooting the hill, But i dont like to wheelie either. Here are my mods... Flotek Dune port Noss head 19cc domes +4 timing Vforce 3 Cpi Inframes Flywheel Lightened Boss Intake K&N Pods with outerwares Stock carbs-tors shit removed wicked a arms +2+1 +4 Gforce Klotz 32 to 1 C12 Race Gas Stock Swingarm.... I think im at 60 Horsepower.....Please advise? Remember the Fastest I can be....Dont like to wheelie.....Thanks....

Ok...thanks....I dont want to pay for bore jobs if i dont have to :biggrin:

Hi everyone.....heres a question for you..... I was told my cylinders are standard size and have been honed. I was told that ill i have to do is by a standard piston set and drop the pistons in. I was told no need to match pistons with cylinders, that you only have to do that when bored... Does this sound right? Dont want any mistakes now........

Im thinking of replaceing my stock lights on the banshee. Trail tech makes some for the stock location that look nice. Are they good or do they just look better then the stockers...Are the worth 115.00? opinions please.... :biggrin:

I think your looking for what most places call a dune port... I have researched this question and have asked around. I wanted good usable power for all around riding. My set up is like yours but with cpi inframes. I sent mine off to flowtek....hope to get them back soon so I can start roosting..... :biggrin:

Thanks....when I get everything done and start putting her together I will post pictures. Frame up restoration in progress :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: Stay tuned!

Ok, i was kind of worried about them getting chrome in the holes, and then me not being able to screw the ball joints in. I guess they take off the rubber boots to. I want this to look nice.

I just got my new wicked a arms. I got them bare metal so i can get them chromed. I saw a set on here chromed and they look awesome. What is the proper way to get these chromed. I also want to get the ball joints and tie rods chromed. Do I put everthing together, ball joints installed and drop them to the chromer. I have never had any thing chromed before...please advise.
