trickedcarbine Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 Thanks Tricked, thats the way i have been looking at it also. I remember (i think it was you) saying that someone on this forum had developed an air device to change gears. It can be done! My insurance, provincial government, and war amps will be taking care of a lot of the cost. I just dont know what im paying for yet.Screw the pinguel air shifter. It's really more for drag racing. It adds weight and will only go so many shifts on that little tank. The best option I found was a push button for the handle bars that runs a little electric servo motor that actuated the shifter. Pretty slick. I'll see if I can find photos of it on his face book page. This can be done. Keep your head up and stay positive. Also..... Weed over pain killers. Seriously be careful with all the legal drugs when this goes down. 1 Quote
Deadbeat Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 i knew of a dude in a chair who has no use of his legs, he rode his raptor just fine with an electric solenoid set up and buttons on the bars the local Yamaha shop set it up for him...he`s back on dirtbikes now which is how he broke his back in the first place 1 Quote

bigweav81 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Hate to hear that gusto. Keep you're bike. After all you will be dealing with, and going through. It may be the one thing to take your mind off things, lift you're spirit. Good luck bud. sent from yo mammy house. Quote
pp13bnos Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Sorry to hear that Gusto, thats a real kick to the junk man. Like others have said, I'd keep it until you figure out how much your paying out of pocket then make a choice. Even then, if you have a goal , or something to focus on it will make rehab go so much better. My thoughts and prayers are with ya. Quote
BANSHEE CHAOS Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Gravel I was thinking the same thing earlier. Or something electrically handlebar button activated like Honda has. Or used to... Might not even be a viable option for a Banshees power and high revs. Which is pretty much exactly what Deadbeat said... Stay in skool chilluns!

hercalmighty Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 I don't know how hard it would be to do but what about putting the shifter on the right side? Then either out the rear brake on the left or use a brake setup like the crotch rocket guys use for stunts Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk Quote
sleeper06 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 I don't know where your located but I would put it all together for you free of charge ,I also have a pingle air shifter setup and can pretty much engineer whatever u need for your handi-cap. Good luck brotha 6 Quote
sleeper06 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Even if you need to get it outa there like outta site outta mind I'll help u out. I have a cpl of kids , wife, house, business it's not easy replacing toys anymore Quote
sleeper06 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 At least if it's together and working u can get top dollar for it Quote
LaegerEliminator Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 I'm with Tricked. If it's paid for, keep it. My Dad has been paralyzed for 49 yrs now. I grew up watching him do pretty much anything he put his mind to. Riding atv's, water skiing, snowskiing, (in their own forms) The only limitations will be the ones you allow into your head. It won't be easy. For me personally I would need something to look forward to during the rehab process. An outlet that makes you feel good and rejuvenates the internal thrills that come with this sport. Just a little something for yourself that helps you keep your sanity so you can be the best Dad and Husband possible the rest of the day. Thoughts and prayers for you. 1 Quote
Big Mike NY Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Your a good man Carl that's really cool of you! If Gusto parts it out and sells me the suspension my banshee is coming to you anyway for the install! Quote

gusto Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Posted December 21, 2015 Thanks for the encouragement and well wishes everyone, it's really appreciated. this site can be pretty harsh with people but this thread is a good example of how much heart the members have. I got to tell ya I'm pretty pumped up by it and plan on keeping my banshee dream alive. The damn thing is a motivator! Thanks everyone. Quote
sheerider11 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Hell yeah man I'd say keep it. It is a good time killer and will give you a way to move around and start practicing small around the house/shop Best of luck 2 Quote
