how much

[bansheefreestyler]

hey guys. im thinking about putting a couple g's into my shee as kind of a rebuild but not quite. how many of you have done a rebuild? approx how much cash did you put into it? heres what im thinking about doing to it: some new wiring, new cables, new clucth and brake levers, new suspension front and back, new LT a-arms, new swinger, some chrome like the stator and such, bumper, engine rebuild kit like pistsons, rings, and all the otehr stuff to go along with that, 2-1 carb. i think thats all i want to do with it. is there anything i should add or take out? open to all opinions about it. also any help would be appreciated. thanks. later

The shit you have listed will cost you well over a "couple G's".Do you know how much a LT front set up will cost you?Hell the swinger is going to cost you almost $600 alone,and why do you want a chrome stator when it's under a cover and you can't see it?

your talking 4- 4 1/5 grand right here. the LT suspension must be 2 grand at least. when you buy small stuff like clutch covers, gaskets, cables, levers, and whatever, it adds up FAST! expect at least $700 for that small stuff. im talking new and quality products here. for a new swingarm, depending on where you get it, expect about 300 or whatever, and you WILL want to get your rear shock revalved so thats like 200. the carb is probally 300. the rebuild kit is 150. your parents must be loaded or something becasue i cant see any kid under 18 being able to dump that much cash into a bike at once. your sponsers must be hooking you up big time!! mine cost me about $800 in all. but i didnt even touch the suspension, thats next. im not going LT though, way to expensive and it would be overkill for me. im just gonna get some nice dual rate shocks and +2 quicksand arms. good luck

stator cover. and actually i make really good money. i stucco so i get paid pretty good but man is that ever hard on a guy. and i dont think id buy it all at once. just some things at a time. im not sure if im going to do it yet though or not. either this or a yfz in the summer. im thinking this though and ill wait till summer 06 for the yfz or maybe the new zuki or w/e is released between now and then. ill get more specific as to what brands ill buy after

duh, i forgot to add your going to want a wider axel. beadlock tires for those huge jumps, and good MX tires becasue i thought you said you are going to start racing. get the frame powdercoated so it doesnt look like a turd, and maybe get some nice chrome PT pipes. i think you are going way overboard on suspension here and are forgeting about one crutial thing, POWER. most people, like me, add power before suspension thinking whatever,i will be fine. your not going to be keeping up with highly modded 450s on the track with a stock banshee. you want a MX port job, which will give you all the power you need. if you want, my who;e passion racing port job, noss head, pisons and everything came out to like $800 and i am very happy with it. dont put the 600 in bling, this 800 got me pistons, bore job, port, and a cool head. so what would you want 750 for bling and pistons, or 800 for ported, pistons, and cool head( which is bling too). think about that. i better stop myself, i can go on and on

[bansheefreestyler]

no man go on and on. every bit helps me. im not sure but my shee might be ported since i bought it second hand. im not too worried about the ling just maybe a few things here and there. the thing that sucks the most about all this is that i live in cranada so parts cost me 2x as much

Well, the work done to my motor alone, eveything that I need for it to run right cost right around a couple gs. You better save a little more than that. When I think about how much I got into my banshee, it makes me sick.

2 "G"'s could be spent on just the engine alone. I'd spend as much as I could between suspension and engine work, in that order. If you want to "step up" your banshee a significant amount in performance and appearance, you'll need to drop closer to 4-5 "G"s to do it right. If you don't plan on blingin it out, I'd save closer to 3 "G"s. You'll still be amazed how fast the cash will go.

What sucks is when its too cold to ride, you go into the garage and look at it and realize how much money you have into it and its just sitting there!
