Bajnok Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 i was just wondering what parts are the only necessary ones to take off. obviously i just want the frame left but, this will be my first time take it apart and then putting it back together...most tell me just take it all apart so i will really know my shee but knowing me the least amount being taken apart would be best lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeNick Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Take everything off until you have just the frame..If your worried you won't remember where stuff goes, take lots of pics and label stuff and put it in seperate containers or baggies.. But to paint it right you'll need to have the frame completely stripped. get it powdercoated too unless you want it to look like shit after a few years.

shee4speed Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 once you start taking her apart,you'll keep going.Then you paint her and put the shee all back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rollins Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 You will only get out of the job what you put into it as far as effort goes. If you want a rattle can look with overspray all over other parts then get some newspaper and masking tape, clean it good, mask it off and spray as best as you can. If you really want the beast to look really good, then there is no substitute for taking her apart and bagging all your bolts into ziplock bags and laying it all out in the garage floor and doing a good bead blasting of the frame and having it powdercoated or painted professionally. The finish will last longer, you will appreciate it better and it will look outstanding. You know yourself better than we do so you must make up your mind if you want it to be done right or half assed. :ermm: You can do it, just take your time, label everything and bag every bolt and nut with the component you dissassembled.

inthemail Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 its really not hard at all man it breaks down in chunks you'd find. i put my "chunked" shee back togeather and had it for a rip around the shop within 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popa_top2000 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I just took mine apart for the first time. It seemed like alot of parts but once its all laid out its not too bad. I Sold a bunch of my parts so I can buy new ones plus I'm doin an asphalt dragger so I want the bare minimum back on my shee. Take pics and if you get stuck use a manual.

AWR Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 used to take my dragbike apart in the winter and put it on top of the fridge in the garage..once you start breaking it down you won't be able to stop.prep work on your frame is the key to a good looking job and pile the clear on it.

tundish2800 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 its like a puzzle it can only go together one way. If you take it apart label everything good you will be fine. Buy a stainless steel bolt kit while its apart look alot better than the stock bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dco3100 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) its like a puzzle it can only go together one way. If you take it apart label everything good you will be fine. Buy a stainless steel bolt kit while its apart look alot better than the stock bolts Just be careful with those new bolt kits. On the bolts that pass through and through with the nut on the end (ex. the rear linkage carrier, front and rear shock bolts, etc);if you dont use some type of lubricant or screw on the nut on properly it will sieze up in mid thread and it'll be impossible to unscrew, you'd have to cut it off (and in the process hope u dont touch your fresh powdercoat with that grinder ). Tends to happen with the new locknuts with the rubber on the end, even happened on some without the rubber. Just be careful with them and remember, you get what you pay for...

Bajnok Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 shit you guys were right it can apart super easy. now my question is what can i get powdercoated? anything i want or are there limits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastrthnu Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 ok, when I got my first banshee, it was just a frame. I bought a frame and part by part put it together. Ive never had a manual. If I can assemble an entire quad not seeing where anything went and ordering all the missing parts, I think you should be able to figure it out. It takes an hour to pull a banshee apart. This is what I made from all individually ordered parts........ lol nothing like it is now to easy, just pull it all apart. Maybe leave the steering stem.

R. Rollins Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 WOW that bike looks great. Ill bet you have a pretty penny in that one with all those shipping costs for individual parts dont you? It sure looks good though. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastrthnu Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 well, yea. it cost me I think about 2400 after everything to build it. at the time they werent selling as cheap as they are now, so that was the only way I could get one. Ended up taking about 2.5 months. this is the same quad believe it or not after a couple years lol...... its nice to take everything apart, becaus ethen you can detail it. say the carrier, hubs, ect to go with it. If you want to do it sloppy, you can wrap the motor pipes of and all, disconnect the a arms tape of the rear and all that but thats shit work.
