wildwolf-131 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 well like many other quad i gess that for some heavy jumping and also heavy abuse, frame renforcment should be required, also if you guy know other mods i should do for a great mx bike, well tell me =P Quote
278 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Not really any frame mods, just suspension mods Quote
wildwolf-131 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Posted June 5, 2009 i allready have some elkas so im ok on the shock side, but im sure the banshees frame has a weakness, i dont want it to bust in my hands while jumping O.o Quote
VegasJeff Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 i allready have some elkas so im ok on the shock side, but im sure the banshees frame has a weakness, i dont want it to bust in my hands while jumping O.o My frame cracked on both sides on top of the shock mounts. Quote
Misssppelllleddd Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 maybe a roundhouse swinger (lighter, more durable, and shorter than stock). better axle with a +2 +1 front suspension with more adjustment. get some good rims so they won't bend. Not sure on any racing frames/framework. I know LSR has an aftermarket frame but I don't know how good it is. :shrug: They are expensive too! Quote

shee4speed Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 http://www.tprusa.com/products/frame-gussets.aspx so the gusset kit is 89.00.and the install kit is 350.00? Is that a welder or something? Quote
MikeNick Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 so the gusset kit is 89.00.and the install kit is 350.00? Is that a welder or something? $350 is if you send it and they install it Quote
2001Stroker Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 That's stupid. Any local fab shop should be able to do that for no more than $75, for the metal and labor. Wouldn't take no more than 30 minutes to make those and weld them on. Quote
rtcc Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 great topic, does anyone else have trouble with the footpeg bolts? My have been one of the biggest PITA's since I got this thing. They are constantly bending or stripping. Quote

Yeah $350 is fuckin ridiculous....But I'm sure people pay them to do it..I need to get into that business...I can wled and got a welder..Now all I need is customers!! ha Quote
bbcmudtruck Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 X2 on the foot peg bolts. I have broken two and stripped one. Loco put some gussets on my steering hoop, but I guess that isn't for jumping so much as rolling over. Quote
blowit Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Yeah $350 is fuckin ridiculous....But I'm sure people pay them to do it..I need to get into that business...I can wled and got a welder..Now all I need is customers!! ha I think that includes frame stripping, welding, and powder coating. I would think that is a bargain to get a frame done hands off for under 5 bills. I will admit that shipping a frame around though is not cheap. 2001 stroker, honestly, I think this job will take more than 30min. I would guess closer to 3 hours min to cut and trim all the gussets. Guess I thought there were pretty much in line on pricing. :shrug: B Edited June 5, 2009 by blowit Quote
MikeNick Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Oh I didn't read where they were stripping and PC it..My bad..If that's the case that is a fairly good deal.. Quote
