you won't be sticking your banshee in the bed of your truck with canopy. well you can but you will need to either take your tires off or unbolt your front shocks so that you can lower it down.
i am going to be a little different than everybody else. i think either white, red or yellow plastics would look good. but yes black or silver plastics would look good to.
but i think the absolute best thing for you to do... would be get Kiel (theshee) to paint your plastics with the blue real flames. on either a white, silver or black bacground.
i hadn't thought of that idea. i don't see why it wouldn't work. let me know if you do that and how well it works out because i may just pull my bolts out and do that as well. if i can get enough of a bite in my bolts. (i know that sounds really bad)
i have that same problem with my banshee. i just ground the bolts down so they don't hit anymore. the only problem is, it will be hard to get the bolts out of the hub if i ever need to take the rotors off.
that would be interesting to find out... the reason i say that is what if you got stuck climbing a hill and you started rolling backwards would it fire and run backwards? there by making your down hill run faster and more dangerous. it would be nice to know so that you make sure you don't do it by accident (then have a worse accident.
according to my clymers...
connecting rod clearence (large end) 0.25-0.75mm (0.0098-0.0295 inch)
connecting rod small end freeplay 0.36-0.98mm (0.0142-0.0386 inch)
ok here's the pics as promised. the silver foot peg is from my 2000 blaster. i put the banshee peg on so you can see where the banshee peg sits as opposed to the blaster peg. yes my garage is a mess.
heres a side pic...
here's from the top...
you can get the correct cable from vito's, rockmountain atv, or F.A.S.T. (when he gets back up and running). but you have to get one for the TORSless caps.
as for your freezing problem i have no idea, i have never had that problem.
no you can not use the same cable. the twist cable is longer than the thumb cable.
i mean you can make it work (i did in a pinch) but it is not recommended.
uhh yeah here's 2.
F.A.S.T. racing (site sponsor)
Noss Machine (also site sponsor)
both of these guys are awesome guys to deal with. good prices as well.
by the way ALBA sucks. they are f-ing idiots. i have called them before and i knew more about their product line than they did. yeah and i supposedly have a bumper maye by them that is a "one of a kind" yet i have seen several of them. they are IDIOTS!!!
