feelsoright03 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hey guys just wanted to show you what Ive done to some Banshee hubs lately. I lightened it up about 1.5lbs. by taking the front brake rotor off and milling out the pockets and turning the front and back of the hub. Ive seen some more that are cut down a little more than this and the reviews were good. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks. ~Teddy~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feelsoright03 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Thanks for all the compliments guys. Zillafreak are you talking about rounding the corners on the tabs that the studs are on? like making them a full radius? ~Teddy~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feelsoright03 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Thanks shane. If any of you guys are interested in having this done I wouldn't charge much compared to what the lonestar hubs cost. These are all CNC machined so I can have a quick turn around time as well and get them right back to you. Also by reducing the pocket size a little bit you can still use your brake rotors just the back side wouldnt get turned. It would weigh a little more. ~Teddy~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnos Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 How much is the weight difference on these than the light weight hubs and how much u charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelsoright03 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I'm not for sure how much the lonestar hub weighs. I know ive seen on this forum in a for sale add that the billet ones only weigh a little less. The stock hub with a brake rotor on it weighs 2.6lbs. My lightened hub the way it is weighs in at 1.1 lbs. so knocking a total of 3lbs. off the front of ur bike. Then you could go with a set of drag struts which I also make and lose almost 5lbs. a shock being at the most 16lbs. lighter in the front end. Maybe somebody can chime in on the weight of a lsr hub. As for a price on doing this I will do it for $80 shipped back to you for both hubs. Quite a difference in price compared to LSR. They will be lightened like the one above and sandblasted and shipped back. I could possibly hook up with a couple people and have them powdercoated and polished as well for extra. ~Teddy~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
