89 Banshee rebuild

[andrew3160]

Decided to rebuild the banshee after it blew up at the dunes last season and I broke my leg. Still a work in progress, parts are coming in here and there and the motor should be done from FAST on the 15th of Dec.

 

Sorry about the picture sizes, not sure if they will be too big.

 

Started out like this when I got it.

 

 

Here is the start of the tear down.

 

 

Went with a plus 2 MX swing arm since I like playing at the track but still hit the trails here and there.

 

 

Drag/hillshot front J arms

 

 

Before the frame went to powder, we ground off the front bumper mounts and cut the top support and added two pieces of round tubing for somewhat of a front bumper look built into the frame.

 

 

Couple pics of the new J arms mounted before powder.

 

 

I went gloss black for powder on the frame. Cost $250 for prep/bake/powder

 

All new seals in the rearend, painted calipers, bearing carrier, hubs,g force rear axle, streamline stainless brake line.

 

 

At least now it is a roller. ( sorry some of the pics are not that good, i used my phone)

 

 

 

I am still trying to decide what I want to do with the plastics. I am going to stick with red. I just set my old ones on there for an Idea of what it will look like.

I will post more pics soon when the motor is in.
