  1. Do not confuse "super rare" with "super valuable" Now if I was out Banshee shopping, would I buy yours over any other year? Yes Would I pay twice as much? No But that is a fine looking Banshee you got there.
  2. Not that the year really matters but down on the frame just in front of the left foot peg is the VIN, 10th digit is the year. R=94, S=95
  3. FMF springs positively suck. I've tried high temp RTV, but new o-rings are best.
  4. oh yeah, a feel it vibration would motor related a hear it vibration would springs (I think Sheerider helped me with that one once too)
  5. LOL youngin', I have 2 Banshees, one is stockish and a 421 Serval. I do stupid stuff on both. And I'm 53
  6. I was gonna put something classy and inspirational here, but that just wouldn't be our style.

  7. I meant the lazy SOB could've pushed it 4 more feet into the sun for a proper picture. Condition is everything. Year means nothing. Sounds like you've put your time in shopping already. I wouldn't take $2500 for my 1995 (probably couldn't get offered that anyway though) Buy it.
  8. It looks pretty nice. That being said I get the biggest kick out of 90% of internet sales ads having a picture from the shady side and sunlight a mere 4ft away? LOL
  9. Book values and other people's opinions aren't worth squat. Since you've already been shopping and comparing whats available in your area, you have a good idea what it will take to buy a nice one. Will someone always have found a better deal somewhere? Yes, that doesn't matter in your situation. It doesn't sound like a bad deal, at least it's a short drive to look at it, But it best be damn near perfect. And run perfect. They are all close enough from year to year (after the early J-arms) that it don't matter.
  10. Are you kidding me? That's a fantastic name...and beer... Wish I would thought of it! And my man's name is Coreslite JONES!!
  11. I understand the ball joint geometry if you don't use the 450 hubs but if you swap everything over what is the drawback? Same Has anyone out there done the complete swap and have horror stories I'm unaware of? Yes The feedback I've read seems pretty positive. Not here
  12. Whilst I normally detest answering a question with a question, what type of riding are you doing with your Banshee? But, my answer regardless is stock OEM cooling junk.
  13. Lube the cable. Every time I do mine, I wonder why I didn't do it sooner
  14. OK, I'll ask... So, you're saying that you did not do a leakdown test before or after, right? And now it's apart?
  15. Well, if it didn't leak before, it will with a new seal. I'd replace that impeller. As far as the cover, the sealing surface looks OK, maybe the last guy had a rat clean off the old gasket.
  16. I've got $10 worth (40) from the Dollar General in my OG Rockets
