blaster668 Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 This is my first attempt to post a picture....I hope it works. Can anyone identify this axle for a banshee? It seems to have more of a taper than any of the current LSR, RPM, Durablue, etc. Also, it has one 7/8" spacer for each side and a smaller spacer that is countersunk in so it rides over the shoulder on the axle. The smaller spacer must be put on first then the big one. I'm thinking it might be an old Lonestar or something. Any ideas? Quote

It looks like a stock axle to me, but I don't know what those spacers would be all about. Quote

pokeatyou2 Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 very strange the taper looks like stock but then the spacers are weird Quote
Washburn Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 Im not sure. Since your only 15 minutes away from Buchanan Racing Ide go in and ask Cody. Plus Im looking for a cheap extended axle if you dont want it I might take it off your hands for a reasonable price. Those spacers would have to come off though. I have credit at the shop so he can cash you out. Let me know. Quote
RNBRAD Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 Any stock units from other quads come with spacers? Not an RPM for sure. Quote
FireHead Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 Any stock units from other quads come with spacers? Not an RPM for sure. That's what I was wondering, but I can't think of anything. All of the Yamaha parts that can be swapped all have the same length of splines on the the ends, so there would not be a need to run a spacer. If someone was really misdirected I suppose they could have had an axle re-cut with new, longer splines, but I don't think that is what happened there. Quote
blaster668 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Report Posted March 4, 2007 I'm thinking it is just a really old aftermarket axle, like from the late 80's or early 90's. Quote
