Shee274 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hey bought a 2003 banshee Limited edition the other day for 1300. I bought on a whim that i could possible make some money in the future on it compeletly stock except for front rims and ricky stator stator. the bads is that i will need to strip the frame and get it either painted or powered coated including the arms and it has a bent rear rim. it was sitting for two years and its still on original rebuild.

Gummie_guy Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hey bought a 2003 banshee Limited edition the other day for 1300.

Shee274 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 X2. I would ditch that RS and get a stock one. Welcome to BHQ okay well it did come with extra set of rims and tires and i changed the bent rim out and with another rim and tire and it still has a slight shake at top end coming from the rear tire so i im guessing thats its etiher a bent axle or spindle...... anyone know of a good axle? and why so much hate on the ricky stator i was always told that that was top of the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Well , you was told wrong . If I had a dollar for every complaint about Ricky stuff ,I could buy a stock one new. Have seen two and three trys on new in box before person got one that would work. So when you come back in a couple months saying it runs bad , you will be told to junk the Ricky. Personally I don't understand why no one can make an aftermarket stator that works and holds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
