PDLS

Rear grab bar aiming back, front bumper, top or side of helmet and one of my favorites is either upper a-arm. I used my buddies cameras and I'm still waiting on him to send me the videos. He said the a-arm mount video looks bad ass.

Thanks! Hard part is all the damn taping......Subtle but same pattern sounds good, less tape. Weird is what I was going for, at least it will stand out!

While my junk is torn apart I painted my tank cover, right side looks good but I think the miller started kicking in on the left side. What color should I do the rest of the plastics now? Keep em black?

What kind of off roading are you planning on doing?

Like your tail light lol. Had to do that to a buddy's drag bike, tail light didnt work so he got a pink flash light. As far as cleaning the tank, x2 on the bb's and we put about a quart of alky in it with them. Works like a charm, gives the arms a good work out too.

I should be able to to get the wheels turning soon hopefully. Found out why we got screwed on taxes this year, dont know how it got changed but my w2 was set for 6 dependents.....how that happened I dont know but I'm looking into that. On a positive note, my wifes shee is ridable lol. My wife and I work for Southwest International, I'm stationed at and turn wrenches at one of our high profile customers terminal. She is a Service Advocate, brings paper work and parts home at night when I need them for the following day, manages case files and takes care of our big customers. Work or Hobbies, it's cool to talk to my wife and she understands every bit of what we're talking about. We've been together coming up on 8 years in july and i think the longest we've ever been apart is a day or two. I think we might be best friends with benefits, kids and play toys.

Wonder if I didnt change the oil in my truck ever.......would insurance pay for an engine when it let go???? Just because they give you a quote on repairs doesnt mean it will cost that much, do some shopping and fix it. Plenty of good deals on this site from sponsors and members........trust me.

Haha, I had a foreman 450, snorkled, lifted on 28" outlaws, she got a rubicon snorkled with a 550bbk lifted on 28" outlaws. Sold them, I got a Sportsman 800, lifted, snorkled, radiator relocate, 28" mudzillas and she got a Brute 750, radiator relocate, lift springs, clutch kit on 29.5" outlaws. The sportsman sits in the garage unused for 2 years now but we both have shees!!

Wifes rig,02 2500, Hot rod VP, Fass 150, 150hp sticks, quadzilla adrenaline, Valair organic dual disc, 4" DP back and cold air One of our toys (my first truck) 97 F350, 4" superlift, 5" RSK, 4" rear shackle flip, 42" Michellin XL's, ZF 5spd swap, Stock engine on 7 cylinders (got F'ed on craigslists when I bought this engine) and a hood stack to top it off!

Dayum......at least I'm not the only one. Good score on the engine in a box.

I think my wife is hot. Especially that she likes the same stuff i do, atv's, trucks, diesels, muddin, you name it. Stuffs more expensive though, whatever I have she gets one too...lol

I was actually kind of upset that my wife gets the destruction trophy and not me. Apparently she follows that saying " if your gonna do it, do it 110%" .

If a builder can whoop it up I'll take it. I need to change my paypal info, we've moved since the last time I used it and we switched bank due to the recient fraudulent charges. Streak of bad luck has been endless but people like you sure do turn it around. The wife doesn't need any more damn shirts, but a small would look nice on them big ole bewbies!!!

Ticktock, I'll gladly take them off your hands and pay what I can plus the shipping. Can't thank you enough!!! Let me know how or where to send the payment. I can't tell you how old it is but the guy I bought it from said he rebuilt it last summer. I'm waiting on my buddy to get me his puller so I can get it the rest of the way apart and split the cases. On the upper hand, it did have a pancake bearing!

What I don't get is we were just cruising, don't they run the best before they blow? All I read is 4 mill is the way to go, just have to gather the cash as I got bent over on taxes this year. I'll post a few more pictures when I get home, the wife took some on her phone right when I pulled the cylinders off, chunks of piston, needle bearing and pistons everywhere.

The wife and I swapped shee's and rode for 5 min. tops. Then this happened to mine........ I haven't a clue as to what happened but the right piston has a few cracks in the skirting and as you can see all that remains of the left piston is the dome thats in the cylinder. Looks like it fixing to get expensive and makes me wish the first thing I did when I bought this in December is tear it down and rebuild it for my satisfaction. We were just cruising at about 30mph when the wife pulled over and said, "your shit is broke" lol .

My wifes shee was ran in AZ and CA, has mods in signature with 25 pilots, 2 1/2 turns on air screws, 2nd notch from top of needle and 220 mains. I'm at 500ft and ordering 27.5 pilots, 280-310 mains and clip moved to middle notch playing with that.

I bought my shee a few months ago and noticed last time I rode it the rear hubs were loose. Never noticed until we bought my wifes that my rear was wider. After looking at it, I have an adjustable rear axle that has been coated black. The outter hubs will not tighten up completely and if I remove the spacers the hubs will not slide in any further than they do with the spacers in. The castle nuts get tight but the hubs still wobble and the castle nut barely clears the hole to allow the cotter pin to slide through. Is there any definate way to tell what axle this is and would stock hubs be ok to run with this axle? I'm getting to where I like XC and MX style riding, just have to get that jumping thing down. Thanks, Ryan

Thanks for the welcomes and compliments on the shee's! When I don't have any trucks to work on I just get on here and kill time. Mine looks better from a distance than up close, its been end over end. All welds, bracing and tubing look fine with no signs of stress. I have no rear grab bar as the previous owner cut it and the mounts off due to the roll, right silencer sits about 1/2" lower than the left, no rear fender mounts so they are now shaved off and the front end looks a little tweaked maybe...or its just the old over tightened and worn plastics. Mine has been rode hard and put up wet but, the wifes on the other hand has made 2, 1 week long trips to Glamis its whole life and that is it. Some how she always out does me. Projects are already lining up.

Just wanted to say I've looked at this forum for a while and finally joined. This forum is killer and full of all kinds of info. I've rode 4 poke utility atv's since I was knee high to a hooker and bought my first banshee about 2 months ago. My wife has never been interested in riding a sport atv, so I let her ride mine twice, which in turn led to me buying her an 06 she found. I'm pretty sure I'm dedicated now. These things are like crack to a junkie, I just cant get enough and I have a long list of stuff on my wish list so far. I've deserted my Sportsman 800 and utility atv days, mud is still fun but what the banshee offers me is way better. The first tiime I rode it was like sitting on a propane tank and stabbing it with a screw driver. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hey to all. Ryan
