slimguy379 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 well i always wanted to toy with a banshee. i was at a bon fire and a guy showed up with one, i messed around with it and said i wanted one. so i put a craigslist list out and pick up a project with new pistons, rings, bored walls, T5, new seals all new bearings, etc. tons of extras. but over a course of about a month, heres my progress... This is my first attempt at powder coating. well thats my progress thus far. but more pics to come soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimguy379 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 thanks, i meant nitroviper's quad lol, had to take a second look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 best way to build them is from scratch. you will know everything about the bike without any hidden flaws and it comes out exactly as you want. of course $ plays a role in this also but imo i think its best to dish out the coin and build to your dreams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I see you powdered your A arms. Now I would be careful, the ball joints are plastic and have a tendency to melt. I've heard people getting away with lower heat and longer bake. I don't know how you did it but just take a look and make sure there still good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimguy379 Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 well here in NY the weather is like a woman and cant make up her mind, but i waited for it to get a solid 90 degrees and i built an insilated box and stuck a salamander heater in there. used a laser thermomter and let it set in there for hours.

2strokeshees Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 x2 on the shocks. Hope they work out for you though, turned out nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimguy379 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 slowly but surely. i just put a thread on the wanted section for parts and already have a gentleman on there with all the parts i need. i love forums, and this site its beautiful. as you might be able to make out, the front arms have a lowering kit that i installed. last night i got my hubs, bearings, seals, brakes, and calipers all set. i ended up changing the plastics and painted the steering neck black. im just amazed as to how much stuff there is for these quads and what you can do to them. However i was curious if someone could give me a hand as to finding pics to locate where the wiring harness is put, as far as where the cdi is located and a few other pieces within the wiring harness? ive looked at pics but nothing really helps, maybe im just lazy.... no wait i am lazy, none the less and help would be greatly appreciated.
