tecate3matt Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Well after buying some 916's i didn't realize the only work on 89 and older banshees any one know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave5.0 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 U mean 89 and newer maybe? Cant think of a reason why they would work on a newer bike and not an older one. Now in the other direction i think there's some that'll only fit the older bikes and not the newer because of the j arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tecate3matt Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Opps, your right I meant and newer* That's what I was thinking but after looking at some pictures of a A-arm chassis it looks like the rear sub frame may be a tad narrower then the J arm frame? I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I don't think you'll find any differences back there. Air boxes and plastic haven't changed since they started makin em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tecate3matt Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hmmmm???? Then I wonder why they won't fit.... Well at least silencer wise in the back. Maybe if i drop the motor in and get the the pipes on and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tecate3matt Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Well mocking them up in the rear it's looking pretty tight and won't bolt up correctly and looking at the dmc site it says it will only fit 89 and newer banshees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tecate3matt Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 first pic, this is where the rear bracket is suppose to mount up. It sits a little above the mounting hole and to get it to line up you have to pull down on it with a good amount of force. second pic, is there the stinger is suppose to mount up with the exhaust... not really happening lol plus it's riding on the wire harness. third pic, kinda hard to tell without the motor in the chassis but major frame rubbing? maybe i don't have it exactly where it's suppose to build haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNTBANSHEE Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 They will fit. I run 916's on my 1987. fit just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
