another shee

[NickisGod]

so i bought a another banshee... why idk

 

i really hate riding my baby on shitty ass shanny trials around here so i decided to purchase something that i could ride without worrying.

 

 

well i guess i got what i wished for.....

 

the kid was a complete idiot, im surprised they allow people of his intelligence to operated a banshee.

he claims the tranny has a rz350 swap " that rz350 tranny makes it shift funny"

so i was already skeptical. then i start going over the bike and noticed damage to the frame. he claims it needed back brakes, in reality i had to pry the frame mounts for to foot brake back so you could push it the lever. he goes on and on about stupid bullshit and till i told him its not worth it. i already drove 5 hours to look at the bike so i made him a offer. in the end i took the bike becuase it did have cool heads, trinity intake, dyno port exhaust, and works shocks. i figured i could always make my money back just by cleaning up some parts and selling them. i could go on and on about this bike but my feeling will always be the same about it. it was rode hard and put away wet. im not to happy with my purchase but its really whatever because now i own two :biggrin:

nice kickstarter. you should have some mcdonalds graphics made for it lol. seriously tho, a few cans of etching primer, and some spray paint and that thing could look fine.

holly fucking red batman!

sounds like just what you were looking for.

interesting kicker. looks home made

[NickisGod]

that kick starter is boss lol. it looks like a machinist made it for college or something

so lets hear it....how much did you pay for it? its already well broke in and ready to ride. it will be a perfect backup for trails

[NickisGod]

1200. it came with a extra set of gold rims but the rear tires are done.

[official_style]

damn thats kinda high

[yamaha420]

looks like it has a wider rear axle or maybe just cause of the skinney looking tires but either way its not that bad of a bike has alot of potential

Damn i paid 900 for my shit, and she's a 01 and she's in ten times better condition than that. Man and i thought that my shee was in bad condition but now i realize

[NickisGod]

ya... i know i paid to much.. i wouldnt have cared if the frame would of have in better condition but its shit. i guess it has a rad extended rear axle with i never herd of before. it reminds me of a drag racers design

[AKheathen]

hey, someone threw money at it, then someone had fun. 1200 isn't too bad, depending where you're at, and if you can fudge the frame, then it suits it's need

[official_style]

i paid $1600 for this shitbox, but i also came with a blaster and a yz125

Well its yours now, so I say strip her down to the bones and start a complete refurbish of at least paint and rust scrubbing, cleaning and then really inspecting while its apart of all things good you do have.

 

Then reassemble with clean repainted parts and new chain, and brake pads. It looked like one rear hub had a stress fracture in one photo.

 

 

 

Get a good stock kicker and reassemble it with some love and tune her and ride her till the winter when you can do a real refurb.

 

Have fun, dont worry its got potential if you care enough to work on her a bit. :biggrin:

[xXBANSHEE_KILLAXx]

if want my opinion, i say u better take the enine apart, do the top end,and clutch. maybe the bottom end, and also do what bearings it needs. other wise leave t the way it is. who cares if it looks bad, ur gonna ride it in the trails so no matter what u do to make it look good, it will get scrached from the bushes and everything

[NickisGod]

i have a 1987 200x chassis sitting in my basement, maybe ill get creative......... if not, by the end of the summer im sure youll be seeing another banshee build by me in the image section
