jp-15 Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 Hi, I've recently found that one of my buddies is putting his banshee up for sale, reason being that he "can't stand it anymore". It's a 1997 banshee, and has been... rode hard and put away wet a couple of times. It's beat, and needs a new motor. The top end is trash, and I'd be scared to use the bottom end after i've seen what this thing has gone through. The frame is good, and the swingarm, is good, needs one new a-arm, needs an axle, needs plastics, bars and seat are good, comes with toomey T5 pipes, and a few other little aftermarkets. $600 sound like a deal? I could probably get it fixed up and running for under 2 grand? I'm seeing it needs, Axle, Plastics, A-arm(s), motor (i'll inspect the bottom end and see if i can just get away with doing a top end job) but worst comes to worst it'd need a whole new motor. Thanks, Joe Phillips Quote
Justintoxicated Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 I think you could probably find lots of used stock parts on ebay for a good price, but a new engine will be expensive if it needs a whole new one... I saw a rollign chasis on ebay a while back for $600, so thats probably about right. New plastics $200-500, Good motor Probably $800-1200 if your lucky, a-arms stock Not too bad aftermarket $1000 with shocks probably..Axel couple hundread, and theres always little things that nickle and dime ya new chain and sprockets probably $140...Chain roller setup? $80 Sounds like a project.

NYUK Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 it would have been bought and whacked up on e bay already. with the parts that are still there.you will make 4 or 5 times what you paid for it.e bay is a gold mine for banshee parts in the winter. Quote
jp-15 Posted December 18, 2003 Author Report Posted December 18, 2003 Nyuk, you suggest that I part it out on ebay? Quote

erbilabuc Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 with a bad motor i dontthink he will make much 200 for frame and about 300-400 off everything else, he said the motor is trashed Quote
theeechozen1 Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 thas a bad-ass score if it was in my neck of the woods, I have a weisco pro-lite kit sitting on my work bench, stock a-arms, axle, swinger, shocks, and lots of hardware taken off a 02' with under 10 hours on it, hell I'd just switch my plastic back and forth depending on witch shee I felt like riding Quote
