Keyser Soze Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 ? So sell it for the winter to buy another one in the summer? Thats crazy. Sell low buy high? Ive never heard of selling in the winter to buy in the summer. Quote
bansheesandrider Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 Put a round housing swingarm on the bike you have , get some better shocks, and put pipes on it. Hell, you could even just install a aftermarket tapered bearing carrier, the swingarm is the same. Tear it down, clean up everything, polish, paint and chrome what you want, replace anything that is wore and you have a bike that is better than new. The only things that are better about a newer bike are the improved axle carrier mounting, better shocks(but not as good as aftermarket), and possibly A-arms instead of J-arms. You could convert your frame to A-arms or just purchase some good aftermarket J-arms. You have a stock bike that you now the history of, why would you want to buy a modded bike that has had the crap ran out of it, possibly been wrecked and you have no idea how it has been maintained. When it comes to Banshees the year does not make a whole lot of difference. Some of the newer bike improvements were a downgrade- big ugly brake light, park brake rev limiter, Granny gear(foot guards).I have always thought it was better to upgrade my stock bike with the aftermarket parts I want than it was to buy somebody elses modded out pile, unless you find something that is setup EXACTLY like you want and can buy it DIRT CHEAP so you will have spare cash to fix the problems that will surely arise- remember, nothing looks as good when you get it home. Good luck. Quote

Good luck. ya i guss i see you guys point but if i was going to buy one it wouldnt be to modded just pipes and it would be from the hq proby cause there are some nice bikes on her four cheap and maybe im to youing for a banshe idk to much work idk i touhgt maybe with a newer one i would have less problems then i am right now but this summer i plan on selling it or modding ths hell out of it so i guess ill have to see waht happends Quote

Larry's Shee Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 With all you went through get it running over the last couple months I'd think selling it would be the last thing you would do. You have a quad with a fresh top end, plus what else youv'e done to it. Keep what you have and modd it. You'll lose your'e a$$ if you sell it now. Quote

papa_smurf49319 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 Banshees really havnt changed a whole lot over the years, as far as wear and tear goes. Quit worrying about your bottom end and ride the damn thing. Otherwise tear it down this winter and look over everything really good! Get the crank welded and ride it. Parts are cheap, you can get good used stuff really cheap on here. So dont worry!! Ride it like ya stole it and dont look back! Tell your parents you want some damn pipes for christmas, just buy a used set off here that suits your riding style. Now that everyones going to cpis or shearers you can get toomey's, fmf's, and pro circuits dirt cheap! Cody Quote
