06BCBANSHEE Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Posted June 23, 2012 Ya i may just save up for a scotts, there supposed to be top notch, amd if im gonna save up 150, hell i might as well save up the extra 300 lol. Ya there 20" rears, plenty of clearence, these are my trail tires. I still need to pick up my 18" for mx. The local track is finally open so ill be hitting that up very soon Quote
trickedcarbine Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 That thing has gotta be a killer ride. I wish mine was long travel, but for the cash I will just grab up a 450 and do the hybrid. You can definitely swap on the 450 calipers and master up front and a stainless line for the rear would definitely be noticed. A nice wertz or asv clutch lever and a nice set of shifter and brake levers that fit you would also help a lot Quote
NickisGod Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 some one got lucky on the rear linkage. i paid full price for mine, but hands down the best part ive purchased. now my only concern is you have standard travel in the front. of course your light years ahead of the standard front controls but once the banshee bug takes full control your going to be on the market looking for some LT a arms and 19+/- in shocks. either way i love the way ur bike looks, deff got some good parts there.

06BCBANSHEE Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Posted June 29, 2012 The fronts are LT as well. They are not as long as some of the other brands, but still LT. I just got into cell reception, and am currently looking for some parts. My chain rubbed up against my skid plate, causing my middle chain roller to completley melt away. Its almost in two pieces, thank god it didnt fo all the way through and fuck up my swingarm. I am in the middle of butt fuck no where, so getting a new chain roller is not even possible. Stupid fucking skid plate has ruined my entire fucking vacation!!!! I got 2 days of riding in, FML!!! Anyways when i was riding it, the quad felt amazing, so much control. I can get completley sideways in 4-6 gear, and it straightens out when i want it to. The drifting is amazing. The back shock and swingarm are both awesome. I dont know what one i like better. The shock soaks up everything!!!, and the short swingarm kicks ass. I find i dont have to be constantly standing now, as with the stock shock would bounce around the ass end. Anyways, im fucking pissed that i have 4 days left of my vacation and i cant ride. I can, but i dont want to risk that roller completley falling off. End rant:( Quote
Starwriter Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 What "middle roller" are you talking about? There's a front chain guide, rear chain guide, and the 2 frame rollers. The top frame roller isn' really necessary. Are you saying that the chain was rubbing the skid plate and the chain got so hot it melted plastic? That seems hard to believe. Regardless, there must be someplace within half a days drive to get the part. Post where you're at. Maybe there's a BHQer closer than you think. Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Posted June 29, 2012 The roller that goes over the swingarm , its #10 in the pic Ill post. It hasnt worn all the way through. I picked up som 7/8". Lawn edging plastic, im gonna wrap it around and zip Tie it. Hopefully it holds up for a few days. Quote
Starwriter Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 I hate to say, I told you so, but... Still, the stock chain guide should have lasted longer than that. Good luck with the lawn edging. Sounds iffy. If you back off the preload on your rear shock, that will lower the back end and put less pressure on the guide. Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Posted June 29, 2012 Haha fuck i know, but it was my skid plate that caused it, POS!!!. Hopefully the lawn edging works, ahould be ok for a cpl days Quote
Starwriter Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 Do you guys have those white plastic reflector posts beside the road? I wonder if you could make a chain guide out of one of those. If your Rube Goldberg chain guide comes loose, it's gonna go through the front sprocket and really raise hell. Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Posted June 29, 2012 Thats actually not a bad idea man, im gonna watch it and see how it is. If it looks like its not gonna work, Ill have to ride my xr 250:( Wish me luck!! Talk ro you guys soon. Quote
