SLORYDER Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I would do a search but for some reason I can't access it on my browser. What are some ways to cut weight on the bansh? I have an '89 J-arm frame so i thing the weight is around 401 lbs wet... So I dumped the bumper, grab bar, rear fender, skid plates, and switched my rear shock to a shaw... That should be good for about 20lbs or so it would seem? I know some guys say they're at 285 wet please share some info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 get some billet, chop the frame, and aftermarket arms all the way around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Also get rid of the front brakes, run blue label wheels (preferably spindle mounts up front) and buffed tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4strokekilla1987 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 you can also cut off your sub frame and attach a chromoly sub frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokestack Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 How tuff is that subframe mod? I like how its like the newer quads. Then when i get nuts with a wheelie i can just get a new subframe.. Although for like 8 times the cost of the newer quads Yeah i guess i need to rethink this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLORYDER Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 How about replacing the shocks with shaws? How much weight does that save you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
