Blown 331

So the blue oem fender is not cut and no cracks? Pics would be nice but any idea how much shipped to 62264?

Ive been there a few times but its been awhile, Id like to make it back in the spring. Also been to Suttons Bluff.

I live in IL not far from St. Louis. And yes thats the bike from Arnold. Do you know anything about it or did you just see it on there?

Is the oil out the exhaust transmission fluid?

Ha. Thanks! My dad originally had 4 1966 Fairlane 2 door hard tops. He gave me this one so that leaves him with 3. This one is all original except the exhaust, and the wheels. I do have the original wheels and hub caps. He bought it in 1973 but then it sat (in doors) from 1976 to 2006 when I put it back on the road. Its in amazing original condition no rust, nice interior etc.

Few updates here. I got some front fenders for it but now a 2nd Banshee followed me home. lol. Its a 1990 J-arm. Its been painted around on so that kind of sucks. But It has stock pipes which is kind of surprising to me for a 1990, It has a Stage 4 2 into 1 with a flat PJ (I know no one likes that) and twist throttle. Still has the parking brake too. The seat is torn but my first Banshee came with a brand new cover, perfect! The guy said the carb needed cleaned, it wouldn't really run. The carb was spotless. The problem was whatever was in the tank was not flamable. Almost seemed like a mix of water and diesel and maybe some blue food coloring so it looked like premix. lol. After that I took it down the road and it ran great! I was pretty surprised by the power compared to what I remembered stock Banshees running like as well. Only paid $750 for that one! Most basket cases more than that!

Ive had my Banshee for a little over a week now. It came with race cut fronts. During the test ride I had tons of mud hitting me in the face. I bought some nice used fronts off ebay asap. Still waiting for them to arrive. I dont care for the race cut look at all.

I went through pages and pages. Didn't see one.

$1400 is a bit more than I would spend on shocks, alright a lot more than I would spend. I'd rather just buy a 2nd Banshee. lol. I'm definitely enjoying. I'm trying to avoid the mod bug. lol. I'm happy with the way it runs, I'm mainly just doing appearance like the fenders, decals etc. I'm thinking about hand guards. Scuba. Are you saying your biked bogged at WOT with race gas and just going to a mix of race and pump fixed it? How would that even be possible or am I misunderstanding? I know there are a lot of variables here but just out of curiosity what main jet are you running? I am in IL also.

I've got an all blue Banshee. I found a guy with a black tank/rad cover for sale and it has factory graphics on it which I really like. Anyone have a pic of this color combination? I searched here and google with no luck. I'm sure there has to be a bunch out there, just not an easy thing to search for. Thanks.

Thanks for the tire tip. I had to do a search just to know what you were talking about. Lol. Ive seen em around but never knew anything about them, never knew anyone who had em. Ill look into them. Ive got really nice holeshots but can roost the hell out of them. The bike already does have wide highflight A-arms, Id like to at least try some better front shocks, pretty pricey. Theres some real cheapies on ebay but I read on here they sucked.

I dont plan on doing either of those with it. I have my kid today so I didn't have much time to mess with it but I did look at the spark plugs. They were both very black. It had a 168RD main jet. I replaced it with a Keihin 165 and it was much better! I didnt have time to do a proper plug chop but I think its close. Ill leave the timing where it is. Thanks.

Wertzy. I believe these are what you have. But the brackets in the ebay pics look odd to me. Any comments on this? http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=181175115076 Heres some others by the same name. The brackes make a lot more sense to me but they cost a lot more. http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=111106011978

Damn. I never even thought of that! He seemed like an older honest guy but ya never can tell.
