Is there a trick to posting good pictures? Every photo I upload needs to be resized, as well as, bootying up the quality to get it under the 50k limit.

UPDATE I installed the LSR A-arms and put the pipes back on. All new break lines, bearings, and seals. Stripped any parts that had bullshit paint on them, and either powder coated them or used industrial farm equipment paint. Every single bolt has been replaced with polished ones.

I plan on keeping these pipe on for the time being. Like I said, the bike runs strong, it really pulls. If it ever becomes an issue riding the local trails, I might think about selling them. The only problem is, they are so damn loud. When I first got it home, I took it down the street one time and I felt like the whole neighborhood came outside to see what the hell was going on...lol

I got some LSR +2 +1 A-arms on the way too. I got a really good deal on them so I decided to pick them up. I'll post picks when I get them on.

The problem is, I bought the bike from a guy selling it for his son who's over seas. I believe the motor is stock internally, but I'm not sure. It runs strong and has good compression so I don't want to open it up at this moment. Not sure what size the carbs are, I guess I can measure them and see. I kind of want an all around bike that's good for just about everything.

Thanks... Next question, what do people think of them?

Anybody know what type of pipes these might be?

Because I've always wanted a Banshee, I'm taking my time and doing everything right. So far, I tore it down and got the frame powder coated and replaced all the old bolts with a stainless steel kit. I replaced all the brake lines with new OEM ones. All bearings and seals are on the way and will be installed once I get them. I replaced the coolant system with a new radiator and hoses.

Hey all, First time poster, long time Banshee fan. Well, I finally pulled the trigger and bought myself one. After searching online for a while, I finally found a bike that's a good price and will be a good foundation, for a quality rebuild I plan on doing over the winter. My goals are to build a nice, mechanically sound bike, that has a good amount of power, but not a drag bike. I will be using this thread to document the process with pictures and information. I'm sure I will have plenty of questions and I look forward to your comments along the way. Here is the bike before I did anything with it.
