robert0762 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 So I have been thinking lately that us banshee owners need an updated rear caliper. We got the fronts from the yfz no prob. I think its a great idea to make a bracket that fits round house carriers that will allow us to run the newer dual piston caliper for the rear also. What do you guys think? I'im sure if we show some interest one of our great sponsors will take care of this for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not looked at it too close but it can't be too bad . I almost bought a rear caliper from a yfz just to see what it would take to do it . Who ever would like to take on this task I will be the first to purchase one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert0762 Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Very true but when I ride someone else bike and there's something better about it I want to make mine as good or better. I know the banshee is ancient but nothing does for me what shee does. So if I can make her better I will or at least try.

robert0762 Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 get some nice rotors from JD. a complete YFZ front brake system will help out. but a stock rear is all you need. you dont need anything more in the rear. a working stock rear set up works just perfect. Got the full fronts. Calipers and master cylinder and braided lines. sometimes I need some more stopping power . These Banshees do well over a hundred mph.

BigRed350x Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 rear brakes are useless. you just need good fronts. 70%+ of your stopping power comes from the front brakes. What about those of us who don't run front brakes? Not so useless now... HA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupelx Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 if you dont care about a parking brake, snag a right front yfz caliper off ebay and put it on the back like drag boys do with a RF banshee caliper? and for anyone who has spend any time riding at high speeds in the twisties, rear brake fade is an issue and i have a fancy rotor and EBC pads. i use my fronts mainly to keep the bike from rotating too far while sliding a corner and the rears to slow and then sometimes to get the bike to slide.

ticktock Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 rear brakes are useless. you just need good fronts. 70%+ of your stopping power comes from the front brakes. I think the answer is 80% of total stopping power is front brakes. Thats actually a question on your MSF riders course test. Does a dual piston caliper really add that much potential? I mean, touching the back brakes really just locks them up anyways. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infamous039 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I think this is a great idea, not b/c the stock back brakes sucks or anything because they work good. I slow wheelie my banshee a lot so I always use my back brakes. Gas,brake,gas,brake,gas,brake for however long I want to ride the wheelie. I feel just having other options for brakes just adds to the rest of great parts will already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcardracing Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 we have ultralight caliper mounting brackets. Maybe I could modify our program to accept a yfz or 250r caliper ect for those who want a dual piston caliper. -Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
