wacko2000 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 itll cost ya more than 3000 just on suspension alone, but its worth it!!!! Hey how much did you pay for those a-arms? I would say it would cost alot more than 3k, better off buying a 4poker for mx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick2stroke Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I wouldn't say better off, unless he's trying to race at a national level. Otherwise you'll spend about the same, and if you like the banshee, like being different then I think it'd be worth it even if it costs more. Cost is going to depend on how you approach you MX mods. For instance, obviously you're going to want an axle, a arms, shorter swing arm, and susp. This is where the money is at.. If you use the yfz a arms and have some yfz shocks reworked by TCS or Works or some other susp. company then you could have a pretty nice front end for less then a grand easy. The stock swinger you could have shortend but in all honesty you'll be glad you made the switch to a round house, funds permitting. Then the rear shock can just be redone by a susp. company. Axle, you could get buy with a G-Force. They seem to hold up well. Engine, you'll want some "low/mid" pipes like paulturners (my favorit) but really if you get porting you'll want to see what your engine builder reccomends. Same goes for the carb set up, you may not need to run a 2-1 set up. There's really a lot of small things you can do to help here and there. Like the YFZ front spindles/hubs allow you to run the dual piston calipers up front for better stopping power coming into the corners. A steering stabilizer will become your best friend also. Really beyond that you just need to get out there and practice practice practice and get the feel of your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarineNYC Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I built my entire bike off used parts from this site. Front end with shocks and the rear axle I paid 1200 bucks. Yes you dont come across deals like that all the time but they are out there. Port work cool head new pistons, reeds and timing plate around a grand. and he still has a grand to spend. So tell me what you were saying about not being able to build one for 3000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POORBOY350 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 true they have some killer deals out there. and on here! shorter swing and +2 arms are pretty important to get the motor centered better if you gonna mx. suspension would be my first thing. good shocks make it so nice also just hitting the trails. marrineNYC, very fine example!

dajogejr Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 450... Spend all you want on shocks, arms, tires, detuning the motor, etc. You're still left with a 20 YEAR OLD CHASSIS.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
