JasonsBanshee Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 Well I'm looking to buy another Banshee. This will be the third one that I've owned. My first one was a 2002 that I bought new from the dealer. The 2nd one was one that I found on Craigslist for $2300 and turned into a F.A.S.T. aggressive dune ported bike. I plan on completely rebuilding my new one from the ground up so I'm looking for a non-running solid foundation. Both of my bikes were A arm bikes and the one I found is an 87 J arm bike. He only wants $400 for it. I'm just not sure if I want J arm... Thoughts? http://huntington.craigslist.org/mcy/3331752369.html Quote
JasonsBanshee Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Posted November 25, 2012 I didn't see it in the classified. Where can I see it at? Amelia isn't far from me. I'm in Lebanon.... Quote
JasonsBanshee Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Posted November 25, 2012 buy the $400 one Really considering it Chris.... Whatever I buy is going to be completely rebuilt.. I am going to message him see if I can go see it. This other one for $1500 isn't a bad deal either and it's close.... Quote
vulvafan537240 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 looking back i wish i had bought a junker for a few hundred. ive replaced almost everything on it. no sense in throwing away good parts. no way id buy anything that costs more than 7-800 if you're gonna redo everything. a j arm frame will be fine. youre not gonna mx it anyway right?

JasonsBanshee Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Posted November 25, 2012 No, I'll probably end up just building another one like my 04. I should've just kept it. Quote
vulvafan537240 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 told ya to keep it. sorry but i had to say it lol. Quote
JasonsBanshee Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Posted November 25, 2012 Yes you did. LOL. But I went through a lot since then. I'll have to fill you in... Quote
vulvafan537240 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 What kind of setup are you gonna go with? Ported stockers, cub/serval, dunes setup etc? Quote
JasonsBanshee Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Posted November 26, 2012 What kind of setup are you gonna go with? Ported stockers, cub/serval, dunes setup etc? I'm not sure yet. I was thinking 7 or even 10 mil. What's up with the serval? People started talking about that when I sold mine so I don't know much about it. Quote

People started talking about that when I sold mine so I don't know much about it. Its got a wider powerband than a cub but doesn't make as much hp. I saw the sticker on our bike that said bansheecentral.com so i looked it up but nothing came up so what was it? Quote
JasonsBanshee Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Posted November 26, 2012 It was a site that I built a few years ago. Nothing special. Building websites and forums has been a hobby of mine for many years and this was just one of my projects. Quote
