Banshee project help

[atownswhizkid]

Can someone tell me what is the first thing i should buy for building a banshee?

And should i get a race cut style fenders? Or stock and paint them?

Has anyone ever painted there frame with krylon paint rust preventive?

[2strokesmoke]

pipes and a air filter if it is stock . cut those fenders

[Gargamel]

are you talking build as in from scratch or as in mods

 

scratch- frame

 

mods- pipes, shocks, steering damp, go fast motor stuff

[Cotton eyed Joe]

I agree. If you are starting from the ground up, buying a set of spindles, a rear sprocket and a seat aint going to do you any good.

 

Frame first.

 

But it might be easier to go buy a used junker and rebuild it. Buying parts is fine and all but eventually it becomes a pain in the ass everytime you turn around there's something else you need to buy.

im on my 2nd complete banshee build and have a third frame waiting.. i know from past mistakes what is the way to go about building it to save time money/headacches.... here is particually the order i go from ..

 

Frame

 

 

( front end now )

 

spindles

hubs

a arms

tie rods

steering stem

break calipers

handlebars

break levers etc

 

 

( rear end )

 

swing arm

carrier

axel

chain tensioners

shock linkage and dog bone

swinger bolt

rear break calipers + resivors / lever

 

(misc )

 

radiator

gas tank

foot pegs

cdi / harness

SHOCKS

Seat

motor mounts

radiatior mounts

 

( last but not least )

 

ENGINE , PIPES

carbs

reeds

aribox

 

 

the reason i leave the last but not least section is because depending on what engine ub uy sometimes it comes with carbs / reeds / airbox .......

 

im sure i missed a few parts that people are going to rag on me ,but i dont got all day to type on a forum.

but hey if u want to do it your way go for it buddy , i am only throwin in my 2stroke cents

i powdercoat my frames and i use www.trgcoating.com to do so , they are great in prices and work if u tell them chase sent you , you should get a better price. 200-250 ,

 

cut plastics is ure paragotive , if u wanna get dirty and ride like a maniac..... then cut them lol ...... i personally dont get all hissy when i come home coverd in dirt n stuff.

thanks for the help i was suppose to get a frame first but it ended before i could bid and i already bought a swingarm rear wheels and i am bidding on front suspension and rear suspension and i am waiting for it to end.

i go by deals , if the suspension is going for a preety high price i will wait till its my turn , i currently run warrior shocks on my banshee and i have them on the softest setting and they are EXTREMLY nice for the PRICE , i paid 25 shipped gotta love it !!! ..... take your time on deals dont try to rush into buying anything i seen stuff go for really cheap

[decon]

personally I would buy a fixer upper for cheap and then mod it up, that would be a cheaper and easier route to go.

I wanted to get some experience so i decided to learn something by putting one together. The only hard part is finding a motor that is cheap and wire harness.

And if anyone has any parts for cheap PM me please.

i have a cool head with 20 cc domes pro cirict pipes reeds and reed spacers clamp on k&n"s pvl ignition boost bottle and it is getting ported should i run trinitys one carb or run two bigger carbs

[locogato11283]

id buy an older banshee and start fromt here. trying to piece one together is gonna take forever and cost a fortune. once u get one, pipes and air filter are the best first mods..

[ogre03]

Not to mention, if you pick up an older one for cheap you can ride it while you are modding it. If you start from scratch you won't be able to ride till it's together. (I don't know if you have other bikes or not, this may not be an issue for you.)

Yeah just look at ebay.They arent parting banshees out for no reason.Im ready to part mine out there cause I know Ill get more than selling it whole.It is mostly stock but I do have money invested.Good luck
