As the title states, here is a stock length chromoly (not mild steel) swingarm built by Ace Fabrication and roundhouse carrier. Bumping up to a +2" swinger for my serval build and no longer have a use for it. $300 will get it to any USA door.

If you have some patience and are willing to check in often you'll find a good deal. It may help to post up a price range.

I strongly suggest shipping them to socalsuspensionsystems.com (MattSCESC is a member here). My shocks are on there way to him right now. He's a pretty honest guy.

Dude just trade it or keep it already. lol, there has to be 4 or 5 topics pertaining to you selling/trading your banshee. If you don't like the bike atleast you have $1000 head start to buy another banshee.

lol... really? I must refrain from trolling this post with "internet tough guy" media.

Interesting. I'll never be able to own a powervalve banshee or anything much larger than my little 421 serval so I'll go back into my corner of limited knowledge. lol. Maybe it was just a 1 in a billion messed up plug that somehow made it past quality control?

Losing a front tire on a three wheeler is worse! Short of the story... buddy who has a reputation for abusing his toys let me ride a 200x 3 wheeler when I was younger. I was going through the woods and the tire rolled right under the frame. It pushed the frame up and launched me as if I was on a trampoline. lol

Never running a 485, my opinion might be void but 145 main and 44 pilot jets on that large of a motor sounds incredibly lean. Most 421cc cubs are running 160+ mains and 50+ pilots. What is your elevation? It could be possible that detonation/heat cracked your insulation? Anyway, carry on...

I'd like some pics sent to [email protected].

...just get the book. There's no "mod" that does more for you and your banshee per dollar than a good Clymers.

Nice, you should have an order placed for a pair of them solid motor mounts and a RAW aluminum skid plate. Your work looks good!

PM me your paypal address if you'll take $40 for the nerf pegs.

Grrr, I just sold a fully built manual C4 with brake ten days ago... and I'm just south of Madison. Oh well, bump for ya!

Oh, not really interested in running a battery. lol, I'll have to pass.

I'd like to get in line. What else is needed to run them?

Banshees are damn near all the same. The early years had J-arms which you may want to stay away from due to minimal aftermarket support. If you want to know how they work, you're going to have to spend countless hours researching. lol. Start here... http://www.howstuffworks.com/transport/engines-equipment/two-stroke.htm

I had a paper route when I was 12-14. I milked cows and drove tractor from 14-18. My senior year I also worked nights at the grocery store and from 19-22 electricain apprentice. Having any type of responsibility history (and good grades) is what landed my apprenticeship. (when I was 13 I was saving for a dirtbike). There are tons of benefits you may not be aware of-or have considered-to finding an income at that age. Work hard and you'll soon have enough cash for a banshee. Keep up on your school and keep a consistent work log and you'll soon find a carreer path that you will actually WANT to wake up in the morning and go to (plus you can't beat the good paychecks, lol). And soon that old banshee you bought years ago will transform into some of the monsters you see here today. For a 13 year old, farm work is plentiful (and you'll get a good work out lol) if you live in the country. And for a city kid, pick up the sunday paper or the local paper and contact them to inquire about a paper route.

Buddy has a 98 ZX6R with slip on. Had it jetted/dyno tuned at Suter's speed shop here in Madison it made 88rwhp after tuned. Internet inflates the hp numbers of bikes a LOT. But, none the less its more then enough to kill yourself in fashion when applied to a quad!

Nieskes, How are the pipes fairing in Wisconsin terrain? (I'm just south of Madison) If I could have a few minutes of your time, could you post or message me a quick review of your first impression and any good/bad news you may have about them?

Work, save, repeat.

Hey Tom, you're a hard man to get ahold of! I tried to contact you with the number provided above for the last week. Today I was able to get someone on the phone who said he would give you my contact information. Looking forward to hearing back from you and placing an order for some shiny new pipes!

58x68 serval baby Not enough? 64x72 serval! haha 521cc of modern tech aimed at broad power and knuckle whitening torque.

....but not being able to ride in the winter gives me an excuse to upgrade the banshee!

^^^he even talks like a stereotypical Raptor owner
