cotton eyed joe sells the wole kit (round tube, brake caliper holder, brake pivot stud, snap ring, pinch tubes, bolts and carrier for $215) thats a fuckin steal if you ask me. im sure hes got some. i am pretty sure his are tapered.
They killed it with maiers craptor plastic thats made to fit on 'shees.
Mike
so yamaha didnt change the plastic? its aftermarket?
thats why it didnt win...it knew it looked like shit and totally layed down on the rider. if i put craptor plastic on either of my banshees theyd kick my ass. like ive said before.....
craptor=gay
craptor plastic=gay
anyone who makes banshee look like craptor=flaming ass peter licking homo
loco i must have read that like nine times before it clicked. thats def the reason he cant run a 17. the studs hook up way better than your screws.
yeaaaa. for fuckin 60 bucks for 48 of them they should propell his ass like NOS.
450 will stomp you bad. i wouldnt race and definetely not for pink slips. say your banshee has a powerband broken. tell him youll race him later, then get some NOS and go back and dust him.
thanks ben. its a really simple cheap conversion. i bought an after market swinger once and i could do 4 of these conversions for that money. its gotta be strong cuz i pound on my shit and there are no signs of any problems. i highly recommend it if you wanna save about 600 bucks. you can get parts thru Cotton Eyed Joe for all who are interested. yes thats right, im pimping CEJ.
it was definetely from a magazine where no one knew how to ride. where was the yfz450 in that test??? and as for the predator. i had one, they are well built, just too fuckin heavy. they do have a few minor issues to work out with them but over all they arent that bad.
led, i do the same thing but i also put one on top where the bend is. it makes it really strong. that way i bend bars instead of the loop. i go kinda overboard. i use 1/4 flat steel
they are definetely heavier than f*ck. personally if it were me id go with shocks and arms to get some better handling. youd be surprised at how much faster youd be able to ride with good suspension. i highly recommend elkas. ive had mine for 2 years and never touched them. they soak up everything i throw at them and have never bottomed on me. i just got some quicksand a arms in a +1 per side that are really nice too.
on sunday for the hell of it we put my rockets on my brothers banshee. he has t5's. he lost all midrange and really couldnt rev out that well on top. hes got a woods port so i dont think he noticed so much on th bottom but it really hurt the midrange and top. go figure.
what kind? how long? i recommend cotton eyed joe's carrier conversion kit. it comes with everything you need to turn a shitty stocker into a badass roundhouse swingarm. all this for 215 bucks. just a little cutting and welding. it takes me about 45 mins to do one.
i think the .mov file will be too big to download to like imagestation or other hosting site. i think i read somewhere that .mpeg videos are what you want to send in emails and use to host on sites. a video editing program should let you save it to whatever kind of file you want. i know mine does and its just a cheap program that came with my canon digital camera.
you do realize that with 25" tires you are gonna have to do some regearing right?? youd prolly have to gear down to like a 12 tooth to pull them. why would you wanna go that big for trail riding? go with 22's. if you cant clear stuff with those buy a 4x4.
