SprayBomb Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hey yall, I joined here back in 08 hoping to soon have a banshee Well a few years later, I now own one... Sorta I bought a basket case and am in the process of trying to put it together It has a few things aftermarket on it that I'm not sure about First is the rear swing arm, mainly just curios as to what brand it may be, but I'm not too worried about it But I noticed today that it doesn't have a banshee axle or hubs, and I'm wondering if maybe they're honda My main curiosity about the rear axle is, what is it, why do the splines stick out of the hubs so far and is there some different hubs that have banshee rear bolt pattern that fit it Also, I have a Durablue X33 axle that I would like to use, but I don't have any hubs or anything for it, so until I get those parts collected, I am wondering whether I should (or can) just swap a stock banshee axle in or the whole swing arm, carrier, and axle as I have them, just needs bearings Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 The swinger looks like a Lonestar. Probably -1". Stock is about 18 1/2" center to center. It's a good swinger if that length will work for you. Don't know what the axle and hubs are from, but they belong in the scrap pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SprayBomb Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I was thinking it was a Lonestar, I'll have to measure it to see what the length is, but I mostly trail, so it will be fine And Im with you on the rear axle, IDK what it is and I really dont care for it, I just dont know if I can swap a stock one in its place with the carier thats on the swinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I would bet the carrier is correct and they found some axle that happens to have the same shaft size for the bearings, and shoved it in there backwards, and never could get things to work after that. No matter what you do, you need an actual Banshee axle of some kind. Shove it in there from the right side and see if things start to fit together.

SprayBomb Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I measured it today and it's a -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I thought it looked pretty short. Let us know how it goes with the axle. Just for information, the ID of the right seal is 1mm bigger than the ID of the left seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SprayBomb Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Ok, I'm probably just going to put the stock swinger and everything on to start out, since I've never had a banshee and I just wanna get a feel for it in stock form and if I decide to try a negative swinger I can put this one back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
