Welcome to BHQ! Im pretty new to Banshees myself, and everyone here has been very helpful to me. That's sweet that you have 2 banshees right out of the gate, one to ride, one to wrench on. My advise to you: 1. Get the Clymer manual 2. Read as much as possible here. 3. If you can't find the info you need thru the search function, post up your initial questions here. It seems the Banshee is pretty easy to work on, the problem with mine is it's brand new, and a lot of the nuts and bolts seem to be put on with factory "Gorilla Torque" Have fun and keep us posted on how you like the new machines! PS- I have a Camaro too.... You should be able to figure out which model by my nickname here. Quote
SteepyBS Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) new SS with a manual eh? i like your style yeah i was offered too good of a deal to turn down, they just never get to ride anymore so i got a good steal on both quads and a 20' enclosed trailer, just means even when i break one i still have something to ride! ive read a little about the clymer manual, after i recoup from the spending spree of this month its already on the list Edited June 27, 2011 by SteepyBS Quote

Have you upgraded the dura max much? Those things can be TQE monsters with just a few upgrades I guess. Post a pic up if you get a chance, and also the Banshees. Quote
SteepyBS Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) nice rides! my mom just bought a 2010 Maro a few months ago but she settled on a V6 auto banghead the DMAX has some work done to it, custom EFILive tuning, dual 4" exhaust, CAI, 6" lift on 35s and way too many odds and ends to list, it dyno'ed at 426hp/798lb-ft a few months ago and i wasnt running my hottest tune pics of truck and trailer, gotta take the quads out for pics tomorrow just got new shoes old but one of the best shots ive taken so far of the truck Edited June 27, 2011 by SteepyBS Quote
LS3 Machine Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 The DMax is Bad-Ass! I bet you can surprise quite a few sporty cars? My Camaro has LT Headers and Intake/Tune. Im keeping it like that here in Saudi, it's hard to get parts and decent service over here (and I don't have many tools here... my good stuff is in my house in FL), so it's going to stay close to stock.

SteepyBS Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Posted June 27, 2011 yeah it lays some hurt on the small cars when they make the mistake of trying to race! as promised heres a couple pics of the new Shees Quote
bansheesrtoys Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 nice bikes. i like the yellow one more. looks bad ass. Quote
SteepyBS Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Posted June 28, 2011 i like that one a little more too, its got some get up and go to it that the other doesnt have....yet Quote
LS3 Machine Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Nice Banshees. Will they both fit in the back of the DMax? Quote
SteepyBS Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Posted June 28, 2011 not sure yet, if i put them on end they might, i know my honda 300 touches the toolbox and the tailgate when its in there i know if i pull the toolbox out though theyd both easily fit on end but why bother dealing with ramps when ive got a race trailer now? Quote
Baytownshee Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Put the front end on top of the toolbox, had to do that with mine to close the tailgate. Quote
SteepyBS Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Posted June 28, 2011 Put the front end on top of the toolbox, had to do that with mine to close the tailgate. yeah im pretty sure theyll both fit stacked up on the box, if not ill just have to leave the gate down and strap em in good and tight Quote
