hi guys! just picked up a 1998 banshee for $600 today. im definitely going to need some parts, and some guidance on making this thing right, and safe!

a little about the quad....... its mildly built. engine is 65mm bore, wiseco top end, HJR dune port, 30mm oko carbs, "custom" cut head (guy couldnt remember who cut it, but its an oem head) pro design filter with cut to hell airbox, new front mount cdi wire harness, billit water impellar, pro circuit pipes, full flight +2 a arms, cheap ebay shocks (way too long)

this thing is haggled together..... missing nuts and bolts everywhere, shocks are too long so you cant really ride it because the tires turn in as the front end picks up. but it runs very well. fires first kick, doesnt foul plugs. my only real concern is the guy said he drained the coolant before last winter, and never put any back in. so he has been running it without any coolant (only 3 times when people came to look at it for short periods of time) would that ruin the water pump? 

where do you guys get your hardware? closest ATV shop to me is atleast 2hrs away..... and i need quite a few pieces!

 

ill be around seeking parts and guidance, just figured id give ya a little intro on what im dealin with!

Lol.
Well, DO NOT run that thing without coolant unless u wanna burnt ur motor down. First thing i would do is fix that front end with the proper shocks.

What all is it missing? you can get bolts kits online
Post some pics
btw 600 bucks was a steal it sounds like.

i put water in it to see if there were any issues, and there werent. so i drained and filled coolant. 

front end is for real, a nightmare. the quad is completely un-rideable with its current front end configureation.

 

as far as what its missing: key switch, all headlight parts (only shells with angry eye covers) front brake calipers have wrong bolts, with a nut as a spacer to make them the correct length, missin 3 nuts on the a arm bolts, plastic is cut, plastic bolts are wrong (look like random screws found on the floor) 

i have so much to do to get it even close to where i want it!
