  2. Whats the differance?

    in Banshee Repairs and Mods

    Posted

    It's difference not differance but anyway.... After market shocks w/ rezzie can be run harder for longer periods of time b/c they can hold ahelluva lot more fluid than just the regular shocks can. So if you're gonna be riding fast for over 45 mins at a time then go w/ the rezzy's but if your just a cruiser you can get away with out 'em.

    I have the same amount of mods as that in my 'shee and it's 3 years newer. I would sell mine RIGHT NOW for 7500$..... and it's not even for sale. In my opinion 5000$ and you both would get a deal.

  7. Durablue Axle

    I got a Durablue eliminator axle, and Im trying to put the sproket hub on but it wont go past the first spline, does the sproket hub have to be pressed on ? and is it suppose to slide past the first spline easy?

    Sredish is right... once you get the splines lined up it should slide right into place.

    Scott,  My buddy had his 250r swingarm pc'd in dallas and it was chump change to what I thought it was gonna  cost.... I believe he said 25$.

    :whoa: $25?? Not that's a bargain.

     

    boonman, you got it, I was thinking Rustoleum or Duplicolor and putting some heavy clear. We'll see. There's got to be an end to my madness. :shootself:

    Scott, I've found that if you call around you can get some pretty cheap prices in the dfw area, I believe he prepped it b4 he took it down to the place though. Just for some price range info.... people on here say that it cost around 100$ to get 'shee cylinders bored/honed..... I got'r done for 50$. BTW: You still need help switching your gears?? I'm free this weekend ( I don't know alot about gear ratios but I have a basic knowledge).

    Boon, My buddie has an '02 f350 with the 7.3 in it runnin a straight pipe w/ a turn down in the stock location..... kinda sounds like a mac truck :dance: .... sounds even sweeter w/ a heavy load outback. It's not too much louder than stock but it's a whole different tone.

    Damd evil that is a nice ass rig!! :cheers: ...... That is the main gripe I had about pop's '04 there is ZERO room behind the back seat to put some cool shit. I think after we remove the grate from up under the seat though I could possible fit a sub or three under there :P . After riding in/driving the new powerstrokems/cummins my next truck will most definately be a diesel.

     

    P.S. Boonman: I like the cackling :drool:

    Well, the decision has come to an '03 Crew cab Ferd short box stroker. I have a line on one, and I will likely be getting it tomorrow, or Tuesday. Likely Tuesday, because Monday is my wife and I's 1st wedding anniversary. :whoa: This year flew by,....... And I am not sure if the wife would be willing to let me go get a new toy on our anniversary..... We'll see though..... I have looked alot. I REALLY REALLY want a Dodge, because of the engine. BUT, the cab of the Ford is what I want. And, Navistar makes a great engine. Everythign has it's inherent problems, but we'l see how it goes.........

    KICK ASS!!! I'm sure there's future plans for 10'' lift sittin on 40'' mt's right?? :cheers::evil:

  17. Engine Noise (piston Slap?)

    in Banshee Repairs and Mods

    Posted

    MIne has done it since day one..... even after I blew it up and rebuilt it. 'Shee runs like a raped ape so I'm honestly not worried about it. If it does go though that just gives me an excuse for a stroker :D .

     

    BTW: My noise sounds like the one your describing but it sounds like it's coming from a loose bolt rattling (like the sound when your leave a socket or wrench laying on the bike and start it up).

  20. I Can't Ride 5 Mins W/out Fouling Plugs

    in Banshee Repairs and Mods

    Posted · Edited by txblueshee

    I recently switched from the yammilube 2-r to castor 927 (kept same ratio, drained/cleaned carbs, cleaned filter and drained tank) and it ran great for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Then I hop on the bitch the next weekend (w/ 5 minute warmup) and tear off into the pasture kick ass as usual.... slow down to powerslide around my hairpin turn and it goes buuuur buuuur bloop when I pinned it. So I managed to get it back to the casa and threw a new set of plugs in it. Ran kick ass the rest of the weekend, came home the following weekend and the SAME SHIT HAPPENED!!. I'm thinking that those cheap ass b8es plugs just foul up to easy so I called around a 50mile radius and 1/2 the people tell me that the b8eix and b8ev DON'T EXIST :whoa:banghead:shootself: . Is it my plugs or should have I changed something when I switched the earls?

     

    BTW: I'm runnin it at 36:1, 310 mains, 27 pilots.... same setup that 'shees had since ive owned her. I've always been told this is better oil... should I just say f*ck it and go back to the 2-r or is there something else wrong?

  22. Racing

    in General Banshee Discussion

    Posted

    a lot of money is right.

     

    racing requires suspension. wider axle, wider a-arms and shocks to be specific. these will greatly enhance your racing ability because it will allow you to run the bike harder.

     

    a stock well-suspended bike will be faster compared to a well-modded bike with stock suspension, in regards to racing.

     

    In this order (I left off nerfs & tether becuase they are required, period):

    • Air Intake (K&n, plate, reeds)
    • Pipes
    • High Compression Head (Nosshead, Coolhead, milled head)
    • Timing Plate ($30 off Ebay)
    • +4 axle
    • +2+1 a arms
    • Shocks
    • Porting
    • Carb upgrades
    • just keep on going....

    Don't forget the safety gear that you should not be without:

    • Helmet
    • Chest Protector
    • Riding Boots
    • Goggles

    Well, that's a good place to start anyway.

    :clap::cheers: .
