Jgspahn Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Ok.well I picked up the bike lsat night. The motor is in bad shape. The bike needs alot of tlc, and alot of going over. It seems to have some aftermarket shocks and suspension, can anyone identify what kinda parts they are and if they are any good? Quote
pweezy42 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 they are what the sticker says on them lol i couldnt see the rear shock good but it looks stock. enjoy the rebuild and welcome Quote
banshee4231 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 front a arms seem to be old lonestar silver vein in color.... and we all know at least front shocks are ohlins, Quote
Jgspahn Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Posted July 9, 2011 Are those good shocks? I gave 300 for the bike how it sits. Quote
banshee4231 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Are those good shocks? I gave 300 for the bike how it sits. fuck yeah they are good. you could get 300.00 for the front 2 shocks alone on here... the fromt a arms are worth probable 175.00 in the shape they are in maybe a little more since they are lonestar i believe... you got a great deal.... whats the back shock say? ohlins ?

Jgspahn Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Posted July 9, 2011 Yes the back says the same as the front. Quote
banshee4231 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Yes the back says the same as the front. thats worth around 175.00 to 225.00 id gues if its in working condition.. and that may be a low ball offer... you got a sweet deal if you only paid 300.00 for that whole bike.... Quote
Badbar88 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Send those shocks to MattSESC and get them rebuilt and you will have one hell of a ride too! Quote
lt500rbigbore Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 those a arms are armadillo a-arms from Rockmountainatv im pretty sure... either way nice set up for $300 Quote
LS3 Machine Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Are those good shocks? I gave 300 for the bike how it sits. Those shocks are really no good. I will tell you what, I will trade you my stock shocks as a favor to you. Just Kidding! Ohlins is like one of the best in the world, looks like you got a great deal on the Banshee, and it will be a fun project! You going to restore it completely? Keep us posted! These bikes are fun to work on, and more fun to ride! Quote
Jgspahn Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Posted July 14, 2011 Send those shocks to MattSESC and get them rebuilt and you will have one hell of a ride too! How do I know if they need to be rebuilt. And is that MattSESC someone on these forums or is that the name of a site sponsored business orr what? Sorry if thats a stupid question.. Im new to all this but I learn fast, and live by the " if you never ask youll never know" theory. Quote

toytech Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 those are great shocks and nice lookin a arms, you stole that bike. ride it then decide if the shocks work good for you they maybe set up close for you, and be ok. that bike is also the perfect color!!!!! have fun with the build. if you don't have a good helmit and boots get some.
