New Guy, New Banshee

[gwinnraptor]

Hey guys, bought my first banshee today.

 

Here she is, drove a ways to get it.

 

Heres the scoop:

 

2001 Banshee

 

Janson chrome steering stem

AC Pro peg nerf bars

Pro Circuit Platinum pipes

Pro Circuit 304 stainless silencers

Hardker E-brake block off

Hardker Throttle cover

Boost bottle

K&N air filter

Moose handle bars and pad

Teather kill switch

TRX levers

Works double rate front shocks

AC front bumper

Lone Star +2 A Arms

Lone Star +2 tie rods

+4 Rear Axle

Rear bead lock rims with like new Maxxis Razr MX tires

ITP Holeshot MX front tires

 

Ill be adding a case saver and ditching the boost bottle ASAP. Already got a Clymer manual on the way.

Needs new front tires as they are very worn, but i feel i got a decent deal.

Nice, what did u pay for it?

[gwinnraptor]

$2500

 

Didnt come with many extras, stock exhaust & silencers is about it.

 

I thought it was a good deal.

[Dahl87banshee]

That's a good deal for how nice it looks.

Nice bike and welcome to BansheeHQ!

 

Make sure you get a TM Designworks plastic case saver and NOT a metal one.

[gwinnraptor]

Shit....i already bought an aluminum case saver for it.

 

Why not a metal one?

[thomas h.]

When you see the design of the t.m. Case saver you will know

 

You got a good deal. But you didn't mention engine porting or internal mods.

[gwinnraptor]

There are no internal mods and no porting.

Did a compression test and left is 103 and right is 105 so itll prolly be needing a top end this summer sometime.....correct me if i am wrong about that.

Runs strong and very fast. Overall i am happy with it.

Why not a metal one?

The metal ones just transfer the energy as opposed to absorbing it by the plastic ones. You will end up binding the chain and breaking the cases anyway with the metal one.

x2 on the plastic tm design one. so worth the $ spent. i just got one recently

[gwinnraptor]

You guys were right, the compression is now 120 on both cylinders.

Runs great, very strong, i love this thing!

[VoOK]

Really nice bike...........hey check your front tires, they may be rotating the wrong direction.

[gwinnraptor]

yeah theyre on wrong, i noticed it when i bought it. Theyre worn completely out anyways, so im not worried about it now.....theyll be replaced soon.
