AKheathen Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 i believe it's a friction coating from the factory Quote

05.Banshee.SE Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 i believe it's a friction coating from the factory I agree. If you have an older bike, your slides might wear out a bit, you can see it changing back to silver, and they'll start to "hang up" on you, and not slide as smoothly. Or if you nick a slide by forcing it in the wrong way, and it gets a small burr in it...then you can sand it off. Quote
Rodneya Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 My slides were partially black when I bought my 03 banshee used. It was just old oil and dirt and washed off with a bit of gas. She ran much better after cleaning cause the slides moved freely with no sticking Quote

The slides are the same gold color all over, even in the groove and top and bottom Quote
