Back as a banshee owner

[sangheraent]

Last year I sold my dune banshee after it sat in a container for 2 years. Thought about buying another one but just didn't ride enough to spend the big bucks so yesterday I bought this POS.

 

$700 literally no maintenance done on the bike ever. Has 80psi compression and totally stock.

 

My budget for this build $300. I'm not spending anymore then

 

To do list: fix all bearings brake pads and bent stuff.

 

Future mods: pipes, K&N, thumb throttle and possibly top end.

300?! That'll get you the bearings and bushings and little shit.

Let's see the last bike

thats exactly why I bought the shittiest banshee I could find no way I was going to get a decent one and start with the "oh its only a $100 here and $100 there" next thing you know you have a streched out 4mm. $300 budget is easy to follow when your going to buy the cheapest garbage parts ever.

 

First things first though I have to get the boost bottle filled

 

This was my previous bike:

What top end? are you referring to the several cans of ether I am going to use to start this thing? then I am going to slap some used pistons into the same bore and call it a day.

[sangheraent]

FFS, why?

It's a $700 bike it is in bad shape it will always be a $700 bike unless I spend $1000 which is a total waste of time. Just a beater to do donuts on the farm for me I'll buy a nice one someday.

either your compression test was flawed, or you're push starting it. 80psi is not enough. 90+ to even kick start one.

That's a dope place to ride it looks! Oregon I'm guessing? Nice old bike you had

[sangheraent]

yes that is winchester bay oregon. I don't even want to think about how much money I spent on that bike. I only sold it because I knew I wanted to spend more just never ends when you get to that point.

 

possible gauge is flawed I also did not put forth the effort to make sure I got the gauge all the way I kicked it like 10 times and called it a day. but oh well she runs good spins the wheels nicely have to take those tires off soon tearing up my property.
