Sheedawg28 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Sorry haven't been on in a while till just recently. Everything is fine and dandy. Holding up very well. I forget if I had updated you guys on the GPR hitting the bigger aftermarket radiator due to its size being increased length wise on the bottom side, the stabilizer would hit the hose that attaches to the bottom left of the radiator when turned. Good thing I caught it in time before it made a hole in the line. Since then I've gone back to the stock radiator as there is no way I'm not running the GPR steering stabilizer. Update ?

Sheedawg28 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Why not try to mount the radiator higher? Use some shims or washer with longer bolts on the 2 frame mounts? Also maybe a zip ties to hold the hose away from the damper. I tried keeping the bolts off and mounting the radiator guard/grill and moving it around but there wasn't enough room in there for me to make brackets and reposition the radiator in order for it to fit and it not hit it. I pulled the hose out of the way but I would only be able to do it a certain amount before a bunk kink developed and I don't want any blockage.

Sheedawg28 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Damn that damper must have a huge clamp. Yea it's a bit of a block..here's a picture I took of everything before mounting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheedawg28 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Top mount GPR for the win!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Agreed. This design for the banshee has two flaws. Not being able to adjust it while riding and bigger radiator not being able to be fitted. The top mount has non really if you keep in mind when ordering your stem that the stabilizer will be adding an 1 1/2" - 2" (don't recall exactly from my LTR set up) of height to your bars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheedawg28 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Different thread reminded me I had added an at least 5+ hp part to my build. TM's hanger! Hate that they didn't make the colored options anymore as I would've preferred that then shiny business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheedawg28 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Got rid of the ugly rear brake caliper forgot to post it. Didn't feel a difference really, but it looks good.

Sheedawg28 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Received some new bits. Chariot performance throttle. JL engineering grab bar with an integrated LED light..no need for clunky rear tail lights anymore and I'm sure it'll be a lot brighter also for those desert trips where I need a light in the rear but the 916's make that difficult but still doable. Can't stress enough how good John takes care of his customers. Edited February 2, 2016 by Sheedawg28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkeypuncher Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 One of the sweetest builds I've seen in a while. Sick ass bike dude. Superman colors are workin well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheedawg28 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks guys I shall keep them coming as best as I can. I'm running out of things to do. I'm done power wise. I do want the rear Elka LT link if anyone has one laying around. Maybe I'll go back to some flexx bars? I don't know. Never thought of it as the superman bike ha, just MMMERICA. But it does fit. Got some 8" wheels for the sand stars I've ran before but didn't this time since I didn't have wheels for the banshee and it had came with skat traks with a 10" wheel..basically hated them. So here's the wheels I'll be mounting the sand stars and these 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheedawg28 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Got a dipstick to match the scheme and some new pipe springs. All the other pipe springs I saw were chrome or too shiny for me which I don't like so I settled with these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheedawg28 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) I often catch pockets of air in my fuel line after the inline fuel filter. So to try and eliminate that since the Pingel valve has a screen on it itself I won't be running a fuel filter anymore since it will catch everything that would clog a jet and there will be two direct lines to the carbs and eliminate the T in the fuel lines so it's direct and to the point.
