If it were me I would do the following : Clean everything real good. Remove all the Plastics and Check every bolt or fastener you can find Lube the Suspension Change all the Fluids Clean the Carbs Drain Any Old Gas Check the Tires for Proper Inflation and Weathering Clean or Replace the Air Filter Jump Up and Down on it Make Sure it doesnt make funny noises and the Suspension is Traveling Properly Change the Plugs Get it Running and Rag the Piss out if it after a good warm up, do this close to your house or truck just in case something breaks. Since this is a J-Arm Fram like mine I would suggest inspecting the J-Arm to Shock Clearence too since it is common for people to hit objects hard enough to bend the J Arms out of Shape. I Probably forgot some things but I am sure the others will point out anything I forgot.

Welcome to the Forums. You might think about posting up some pictures of your ride everyone will be asking.

Well here is a quick picture of my Banshee. Getting ready to order a new seat cover because that blue has to go and the rip you can't see really bothers me. Here is my Harley. It's a 2005 Softail Standard with Drag Bars, K&N Airfilter, Hooker Troublemake Pipes, and a Power Commander.

I will post some pics as soon as I get off my butt and take some pictures, was going to do it last weekend, but a couple trips to the bar got in the way.

I just wanted to take a quick minute to introduce myself to everyone here. I have been lurking these Forums for the last couple weeks, reading threads and getting ideas for my first Banshee Project. I am from Wichita, Ks. but grew up in Oklahoma around Grand Lake. Now for what we are all really interested in my Shee. I recently picked up a Early 1990 J-Arm Shee. It looks fairly stock all Original Plastics (just finished removing the original decals and other random stickers) The front fenders have been cut but it was a real hack job so I am in the process of fixing them up a little. The bike does sport a set of Toomey T-5's and has been bored to either 20 or 30 over the last owner wasn't sure. The frame has been powder coated red. When I picked up the bike it wasn't running and hadn't ran in 2.5 years but that didn't last long. I have it running now pretty good and it does start on the first kit. All the TORS crap has been removed. The only minor problem it does have at this point is the Choke will not stay out in any position but so far I haven't need it, so if anyone has any suggestions on a Fix for that I am all ears. Oh and it does sport the ever popular Boost Bottle. I may make it down for the Snake Hunt this year but probably not on the Shee, my friends and I normally ride our Harley's down and hang out in down near the bar. I do have paddles for the bike I need to do some shake down runs locally to make sure everything is in order and get some saddle time so I don't look like an ass at Little Sahara. I really have been enjoying all the quality responses in the forums I have read and look forward to being a member of this community. Thanks Zik (aka Brian)
