Figured I could build my banshee, I tore it all down to the frame, powdercoated it cleaned everything up now its ready to be put back but i dont know where to begin hehe...... uhhh Im sure there is some stuff you need to install first i have the Clymer but that doesnt tell you how to build the banshee from frame up....

Start with the swingarm, axle, a-arms, shocks, steering stem, tie rods, all that fun stuff to get it to a rolling chassis.

 

Then run the electrical, plop the engine in there and just start adding parts.

 

Half a case of beer and half a day and you could have it together.

Shit, you're over complicating it!!!

 

The first time I stripped my banshee I had only had it 5 months. I stripped it, powdercoated the frame, and put it back together with out a Clymers manual. I ran it for another 4 years before I totaled it and had zero problems.

 

Like the others said. Get it on its feet (unless you feel like putting the engine in while its on the ground instead of trying to do it 10 inches off the ground), then do it in steps.

Swingarm, a arms, steering stem, coolant system, electrical, and use a torque wrench on the nuts. NOT THE BOLTS, but on the nuts. Take your time, and make sure you've seperated all your bolts n shit so you know what you have used and what you have left. If there is a part that uses specific bolts, bag and tag that shit.

 

Thats how I lost my whole a-arm pivot parts for my project bike. I didn't bag and tag. I just put them some where, and now its going to cost me. I learned the hard way I guess. :angry:
