Badlands April 19th - Roll call (WINDYCITYJOHN400 tour)


Recommended Posts

Not sure If I am going to make it. Been working loads of hours and there is what my banshee looks like right now. 1622101_10100990723893444_1065483612_n.j

Well there is at least hope. The good news is...it's still on all fours. Could be a raw frame waiting for powdercoat. THAT would be too far behind to make our trip.

But if all you gotta do is slap that back together, that should be no problem. Give up on TV time for a month and your set. LOL

What the heck do you take it completely apart for anyway?  :whoa:

Last time I saw it you just had a clutch issue.

I could check my Clymers manual….but I'm pretty sure there is an easier way to change a clutch.  :lol:

Its still like 6 weeks away.  What all are you doing to it?

 

 

 

Started off with a little bit of chain wack. I could live with that but it was annoying. Then one day I was putting in a clutch bolt and there was a piece of debris in the threads, busted the surrounding area. I wanted to ride a new more times so I threw on some JB weld and made due. Then I noticed I was going through A arm bushings on the left upper A arms. T-Shee was also telling me this A arm was hard as hell to put on. If you look at it close the frame looks a little tweaked there. So got some new unwacked cases and had them powder coating gloss black. Then I figured the same thing would just keep happening to the A-arm bushings so I looked around for a frame. T-shee came through with this old beat up frame that was straight. So I had it powder coated a metallic blue-ish color. Obviously I got a new clutch with HD springs. Figured while it was apart it would be silly not to replace the carrier bearing, steering stem bearing, ball joints (which were really pricey) noticed some chips in the end of the reeds so I replaced those. Figured I can't have a blue frame with a yellow seat so i got ahold Vegas Jeff and had him make me another seat cover. Now I'm waiting to hear back for T-shee to see if I should re-ring it.

Well sounds like all the time consuming work is already done. Now time to get it back together and debut that bad boy at the badlands trip. 44 days, get to work
