  1. good luck, i tried to give my pipes away free, no one wanted them, i threw them out at the recycling center
  2. your best bet for cheap used parts would be this site right here, classified section also try everything2stroke, its dominated by banshees, tons of parts for sale and cool info there too, between those 2 places, you should be able to find anything u need, parts wise or info wise
  3. if you couldnt understand him, maybe you should be the one considering some extra schooling.. cmon its the internet, cut the guy some slack ! haha
  4. holy shit, truck, trailer and 2 banshees..... goddamn dont worry,, karma will come back and get them, it always does!
  5. 2002 damn! i was rockin the blaster back then
  6. leave the pilots alone try some 280 mains needle on 4th clip thats in the general neighborhood , depending on your air filter/box situation
  7. primary drive (rocky mountain) chain and sprockets = $50-70 depending on which set you get, x or O ring, gold or standard $200 on 450 shocks, ouch, they arnt worth it, save up another couple hundred and buy some works At steelers made for the banshee handlevbars - moose racing $17.99, roll and break em, throw on a new set, or run the $80 renthal fatties like most people and bend your steering stem into your gas tank when you flip brake pads - tusk, from rocky mountain, cheap as hell, and work fine pods are a bad idea unless u never see any water or mud
  8. yea your just too heavy, and even if you wernt 200+ they still suck balls and you would have to be nuts to hit any decent sized jump with them, mine used to bottom out everytime i hit this little 20 foot tabletop, they arnt rebuildable so after a certain amount of hours, i think they say in the book 80, its time to throw them out, you can have the rear shock rebuilt by one of many companies , and then upgrade to some +2's and some new shocks, its night and day difference, stock banshee suspension is hideous
  9. yea the 700 craptors are nice bikes for sure friends with +2's and revalved 450 shocks handles great, just like the banshees they are a little tippy stock , but they are a great ride and got a shitload of torque, id take one for the trails any day, also taller bars are a must! his stock ones were very low if i remember right
  10. is that signature a joke to piss everyone off or are you for real with that?
  11. yea i got their 1/4" bulletline on my swingarm, they are meaty as hell and very well built, it was visibly thicker than my supposed 1/4" UM.. and much harder aluminum. of all the swingarm skids ive had, this is definitly the thickest, best built one as far as the non linkage coverage ones go...i was gona get the PRM 1/4" full coverage, but then got the $100 ift certificate from rmatv frequent buyer thing, so i got thie one... next one i spend money on though will be a PRM 1/4" wioth linkage coverage, they are nasty, $120 but well worth it , but as far as the regular swingarm skids go, with no linkage coverage, this is the best ive seen for the banshee
  12. besides those TORS units, id have to say the stock front shocks are about the worst thing about the banshee chain adjustment, or lack of, in a close second
  13. move to new jersey.. we have TONS of places to ride..the cops are very supportive of us as well. they usually show up to watch
  14. easy there, i wasnt directing that at you at all... anytime a suspension thread pops up, everyone runs in and wants you to buy what they have.. and thats usually elka
  15. suspension threads are dumb its almost worse than asking "which builder should i send my cylinders too?"
  16. always so much hatin goin on here... does everything have to be an argument, the guy is excited about his port job, why try and call him out and make him feel liek an idiot for sharing his excitement ? ... i just dont get some people..
  17. be careful ! the staties were up there 3-4 weeks in a row, 2 lifelines in the last months! whatever you do wacko, DONT PARK IN THAT PARKING LOT WHERE YOU MET US!! do yourself a favor and drive back into the woods a mile or 2, at least, and find a place to set up shop.... nothin worse than driving 2-3 hours to ride and gettin kicked out at lunch time, the state trooper told us they wouldnt even be up there bustin balls if people would stop crashing and needing helicopter pickup.. but still, you never know if one might decide to take a cruise up there and kick eveyrone out of the parking lot and send em home, best bet is park in the woods somewhere, keep your trucks away from coal hill and away from that lot you met us in i might come up this weekend too and finally the weather looks good for the weekend... http://www.weather.com/weather/weekend/USP...pnav_undeclared
  18. friend need a set of stocker a-arms if anyone has some layin around.. please only good shape/ tight balljoints , pics if u got em would be good too, lets hear what you got.. thanks
  19. what the hell does stage 2 mean? just list all your mods, elevation, airbox /filter setup and someone will guide you in the right direction, dont waste your time with " jet kits"
  20. if you graduated 5th grade... it shouldnt take you more than a minute.. not even :biggrin: yea it was long.. just venting sorry.. it sucks when you spend 5 hours in the truck round trip and dont even get to ride for half that amount of time..the rain finally let up for one day and we got fuckin screwed.. just tryin to give a heads up to all these out of state people who ride there, i know theres alot... like the state trooper said to us "it only takes 1 idiot to ruin it for all you guys"
  21. well.... if these idiots keep it up we might not have anywhere to ride soon... i was up in the area yesterday.. we were a few miles back behind the washes parking lot.. we come around a corner and theres PA state police way out in the woods, drove his damn crown vic all the way back there on some rough ass trails.. and 2 ambulances, volunteer fireman,..our NJ instinct kicked in as soon as we all saw a cop in the woods lookin at us, we hooked a U turn and got the hell outa there...fast..we rode around for a little bit more, thinkin nothing of it because theres so many damn people out riding there. we go back to the parking lot to eat lunch, and here comes the damn life line chopper lifting off outa the woods where we just were, flies right past us...so were like shit.. i guess that guy got really hurt out there...but we still thought nothing of it.. ate our lunch, gassing up.. getting ready to go back out for a ride..im sittin on my banshee about to start it, helmet and shit on, all of a sudden one of the guys with us is sayin "cops, cops , cops, guys cops" everyone starts tryin to get on their shit and run haha..i figured well fuck it.. im sittin right next to my damn truck...one guy took off down the trail, statie gets on his loud speeker "STOP RIGHT THERE".. haha.. we all get off, take our helmets off, he hops out with his ticket book... FUCKKKKKKKKKK.... "let me see your permits and registration" ....uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what? we knew about the permits, but didnt think anyone enforced em... and like he said, they never usually do...we said we were from jersey and didnt know, luckilly he was a nice guy, kind of...he said "well pack em up and get outa here or im writting tickets"...i think he also recognized us from back in the woods 20 mins earlier all runnin from him, haha, anyway we asked him what happend to the guy he said the guy overshot a jump back on the trails... and apparently fucked himself up pretty good i guess because they landed the damn chopped out in the hills.. the state trooper said to us as he was gettin back in his car.. "hey guys just remember... i dont waan be all the way out here bustin balls.. i gota better things to do... just remember the only reason we come out here is when people get stupid and get hurt"... then he pulled out to trhe end of the parking lot by the main road and stopped every person coming through that lot and told them to get the fuck out i guess because it was 1:30pm, sunny and beautiful, and everyone starts pullin up to their trucks and loading up and leaving except for a few that wernt around.. he stayed down the end of the lot and watched us load all our shit up.. and then left... this isnt lookin good at all... especially after that dumb ass 16 year old girl told the newspapers last month, that there are "hundreds" of people at coal hill every weekened, last month when the life line was at coal hill... now here they are again a month later picking up another derelict out of the woods... i hope whoever crashed is ok.. but at the same time people need to pay attention to what they are doin and not be so worried about showing off or being the fastest all the time and shit like this wouldnt happen. i understand accidents happen.. but thats not usually the case, its usually people being idiots, trying things they have no business doing, riding out of control, showing off, ect... im sure you locals are not liking this at all.... ive only been goin there for 2 years.. but just in that small time it seems like its gotton so much more popular and crowded everytime we go... most people there are out of staters (like myself), im done with the whole coal hill, washes area...and to anyone else plannin on goin, id be careful ... summer isnt even here yet and the place is already hot...even if they dont impound you or ticket you...you still drove all that way and didnt even get to ride... im not even a PA resident... but im sure i speak for most of them when i ask if everyone would stop telling everyone they know about that whole area..if it wasnt for the interenet and my freidn finding out about this place on raptorforum id never know about, but at the same time.. i think its gotton out of hand on the internet... the internet is gona ruin it for everyone, all i ask.. is think twice before you invite 20 people to come riding with you up there.. especially derelicts show offs and idiots, there are plenty of them there already.
  22. if your banshee is running good you should be right there with all the new piped thumpers
