Another banshee

[984mmshee]

Wife decided she finally wanted a banshee so i find her one not to far away. Definatly not the best looking but did come with some bonus parts. It an 01 was originally blue but plasics have been painted black which will be repainted. Has stock carbs, fmf fattys, cool head, amadillo a arms, durablue axle, and even got a new set of sandstars on polished wheels with it. Now the fun begins of goin through this thing and making it all legit. I say this due to when i rode it i knew right away tuning was a must ( ran like shit) and had some play in front end and rear axle. I get this home and start really checking it over and find all the ball joints were never tightened and neither were the a arm bolts or tie rods lol. Tightened all that up and good as new then replaced carrier with a good one i had and rear is all tight now. Pulled carbs and gave them a deep cleaning finding 310 mains and 25 pilots seems a lil rich on main but ill dial that in later. Put carbs back on and it fires right up sounds 100% better so i go for a short rip and pull back in the yard to find antifreeze blowing out of oveflow so look into it and find cool head is leaking. So i pull it apart and find one of the most stupid things, whoever put the head on didnt put orings on the domes and they also put a stock steel gasket between head and cylinders. Its no wonder it didn't seal and the domes also had the oring lip partially broken off. Oh well i guess lol time for a lil project, i will definatly have a nice lil stock bike when im done just gotta fix it all up right.

 

Heres the before and ill post more as i go along.
