your shee is looking SWEET i would have to agree on the gun metal gray for the swing arm an a-arms maybe even the motor would look awesome gunmetal gray aswell.

thats not to bad a job to do just make sure you get all the jets really clean or replace them it will take care of the poppin, or atleast it did on mine. good luck

mine did that to, after i take the carbs apart an cleaned them now she starts on the first kick. my pilot jet was gummed up pretty good on the left side an thats the one that was poppin its a good idea to get the TORS elm. kit though. if it starts with starting fluid then your not getting gas to the pistons.

hey man i had the same problem with mine turned out to be the float was stuck try opening the drain on the bottom of the carbs and see if your getting gas with your tank valve on off after its emptyed out turn the valve back on an see if you get fuel. if theres fuel unplug the little black box at the bottom left on the radiator an see if it will start if so its your tors, buy the kit to get rid of them there on ebay for 38 buck shipped.

ok here she is all done just have one more thing to do an i need your help i can decide wether to put the sticker on the grill shell or not i like it without it but what do you guys think.

ok heres some more pics of the shee its getting really close to being done just waiting on tors elm. kit an the stickers should have everything by wed. then ill post the final pics.

looks like a good deal to me. goodluck man, keep us updated

i just got done repainting mine an i took it all down to bare metal, thats the only way your gonna get the best look. as far as lasting i can only tell you from my expierence that powder coat is stronger but it still comes off. check out my thread titled NEW PAINT, i have a blasting cabinet and a portable blaster that i did the frame with. i only spend 60 bucks in paint. im not done withn the bike yet so i havent ridin it yet. but for 60 bucks an some time i wouldnt mind doing it every year, gives me somthing to do in the fall and i get a chance to completely check every part of the bike for things that are broken or wore out.

really! i honeastly thought about painting the frame anodized purple and getting white plastics an new stock special edition graphics for it. them a buddy of mine an me where looking on ebay for stuff for the shee and found a kickass set of amr graphics for it that go with the shull theme i have going on it. an the rest is history, i will add new pics as i get more stuff added to it. but thanks man for the compliements

i hear yeah its around 12 here an 10 inches of snow.

sounds like a plan wvbanshee, just remember to much clear will chip easy also but you should be good with 4 coats

hey thanks man, but would you belive it the KRYLON touch!!!!!!! just did alot of prep work on it and the cleared the hell outta it to protect it from the dirt and rocks.

i think im gonna go with the black on the motor. i have painted the grill shell to match the frame so i think with the motor back it will even it out heres a sneek peek with the rear fenders just sitting on it. waiting to get parts for the motor and rear brakes an shees done.

welcome back. i have an05 that i ride the hell outta in the middle of a complete tear down and repaint right now , check my compression an it great you shouldn't have to much trouble with it. i bought my wife an 06 special edition blaster aswell we go riding right regularly in the summer. again welcome back

ive always had good luck with laying down 3 to 4 coats of clear on the paint to keep it shinny. right now im tryin to decide the color of the motor what do you guys think black or red like the frame, i have a bunch of polished stuff for the motor im just not sure what color to use.

gonna run the black plastics that came on it just changing the stickers out

its paint started with 3coats silver metallic , then 3 coats anodized red then 4 coats clear

well after a long few days its back to looking like a banshee again completely disasembled blasted and polished, polished parts are not all on it yet i just got it to a rolling chassie well almost still gotta clean up the tires an rims. but anyway heres what shee looks like sofar. let me k

heres a pic getting ready to start blasting and repainting i will add new pics as they are taken

thanks for all the great advice. think i will do the reedkit, timing plate, K&N filters pods, rejet, and the tors elim. kit

i have big dreams an empty pockets L.O.L since i lost my job 8 months ago. started rebuilding some old bikes for friends to make some cash but never any mods some im new to it mostly do stock restos. so i will probly get the shee cleaned up and lookin purdy again i have it completely disassembled in the basement now. havent done much to it since i got it other then grease it before going riding and washing it off after (sometimes) hey what would bring the shine back to the fenders?

hey thanks killa sound like a good idea. love the statement above your pic. i had a friend that thought the same thing on his 450 boy was he suprized L.O.L if he would have tradeed hes palaris for a 2 stroker instead he might have been alittle closer at the finish line.

hey thanks for the info. i live in iowa and there are only 2 park that i ride rock bluff and rathbun there are some really good trails and tracks at rock bluff you can do just about any type of riding there but rathbun is wooded trails with a small track to race around on. sounds like i would be better off not doing the big bore kit. what would some simple mods be for the riding i do?
