dadude Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) Ok scrap the idea of trying to build one then. will you guys look at my last post with the link to the pictures of that one and let me know then thanks. Edited October 16, 2005 by dadude Quote
BigRed350x Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 Just go buy a used one. You will end up being way over 2k if you try to build one from the ground up. The engines are simple and easy to work one once you have done a few. I can tear down the entire engine and rebuild it without using a clymer any more. Only open it up if I forget a torque spec. You would be much better off to buy a used one. Maybe fine a cheap one in rag shape and spend the extra you saved on some nice parts. Quote
decon Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 tOj, a member of the forums, built his banshee from the ground up, you can talk to him for some insight...but I would sugest you just buy a cheap used one...thats the best route. Quote
01bansheefox Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 I highly doubt you can build your own banshee for 2,000 you mean from the frame up? Maybe a rolling chassis Quote
dadude Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Posted October 16, 2005 I highly doubt you can build your own banshee for 2,000you mean from the frame up? Maybe a rolling chassis 426596[/snapback] yes the frame/ground up. I thought maybe it could be done. I'm not looking to build a chromed out monster just an average nice looking 'shee. And Decon thanks for that info. Quote
dadude Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Posted October 16, 2005 Hi guys I bid on this banshee but the reserve was not yet me and the guy has to check to see with the owner if he wants to part with it for that price. can some knowledgeable banshee pros check out those pictures in this ebay link here - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-Yamaha...1QQcmdZViewItem How good of condition does this banshee look to you pros non cosmetic wise. let me know your opinions i'm still waiting for a reply back if the guy is gonna take my bid offer of $1675. let me know what you think guys.

dadude Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Posted October 16, 2005 Well, if all you're looking for is "an average nice looking 'shee" then you will easily find that for $2000 Check out some of the bikes for sale on here and ebay 426615[/snapback] Aye already did and that one auction as I stated is also in my home town so all i'd have to do is go pick it up. I don't know if they guy will sell it for that price though. Read my previous thread please guys, thanks. Quote
Dead Op Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 Hey man, for 2k you will find trouble to make a banshee, the one you posted on e-bay looks beat to me.... I wouldn't buy it plain and simple...When I was looking for a new banshee I planned on spending over 5k....I looked a litlle bit and found this 01 sat in my friends basement for years....Had 2 hours on engine! Came with FMF pipes, Boost Bottle, K&N, Since then I put rad valves on it and Painted a lot of misc stiff on her...I am redoing it this winter pc the frame, bumpers, coolheads bigger carbs, bigger radiator, and maybe new rims..and body stuff....Anyway I just took my time and got it for 1900....I have been offered 3700 by a close friend before too! Sorry about hoiw freaking big the pic is too. Quote
midnite Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 I'm not to impressed with it $2000 tops. It's bone stock, and I bet it needs piston/rings. Plus it looks like the owner got high and went crazy with red spray paint. Quote
Dead Op Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 compression check was done in september...120 in right and 122 in the left my friend. Yeah I did spray paint the covers nop big deal with me, why leave it the ugly color it was...And why is it still stock, I was redoing a willys all sumeer so noiw is my time to do it up...I can see your shee in your icon pic please dont brag Quote
midnite Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) First off, the guy asked for an opinion, I gave it. Second, whats wrong with this. Edited October 16, 2005 by midnite Quote
350TwinDeathBed Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 First off the guy asked an opinion, I gave it. Second whats wrong with this. 426640[/snapback] Gonna have to agree with midnite here Quote
batoutofshell Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 I also agree with Midnite and the wheels are running with silver paint and the tires do not have 2 hrs on them unless he was fire riding on hot coals. Baldies Quote
midnite Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 Dead op. I was talking about the blue and red banshee on e bay that dadude has set up a link to. Your white/black shee looks good. Quote
dadude Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Posted October 17, 2005 Thaks a bunch for the info guys and yeah dead op that one looks alot cleaner nice than the one i bid on. props So you guys think I could get better. The guy told me the reserve and it was $1750. Only problem is I live in Biloxi, Mississippi. So finding a decent ATV in decent pickup decent is hard due to hurricane katrina. So i'm kind of in a pickle not alot of options. Or I guess I could keep looking but with only having $2k in my hand to spend shipping is kinda out of my price range. oh what to do... Quote
