CarolinaBansheeMan Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Just picked this roller up the other day for $400. This is my first banshee so im not sure if this is worth restoring. Its missing some things. Motor, carbs, tranny, foot pegs, clutch and break levers, thumb throttle, cables, lights, electrical wires, ecu, air box, radiator bolts, gas tank bolts, all the bolts to mount the plastic. If im missing anything let me know lol Im working on posting pics. Its saying mine are to large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawa110 Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Not too bad for 400$ if frame is straight and clean. Keep eye on swap shop and banshee Facebook for stuff you need. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandSlingerOR Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Not bad. Problem is pipes and engines are so expensive anymore. But for $400 that's a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronhomere Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 I Picked one up kinda the same way for 700 but came with the motor . Is it a deal? idk , depend how much you spend on parts really The motor can go for a arm and a leg but it’s a banshee . . I go on eBay and Facebook for parts .

Ayesully810 Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 id say no its not worth it. you can buy one already running for 2500 or less. your going to spend around 1200 on a good running motor shipped if your lucky and probably another 400 for pipes if you get something decent. all the other stuff will add up to atleast 2500 in my opinion. not trying to be a downer, ground up builds are expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaBansheeMan Posted August 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Thanks everybody for your opinions on this. I found a complete running motor on Craigslist for $750. The frame and a arms are good. Front Shocks look a little rough. Trying to remove the axle and swinger. Got everything off the axle just to find out the axle is stuck in the carrier. So i removed the Carrier and axle from the swinger. The swinger bolt is also stuck so im thinking ill just cut the bolt on both sides to remove the swinger. Replace the bolt and be done with it.

CarolinaBansheeMan Posted August 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 I would like to cut off any unnecessary tabs before i get the frame sandblasted and powdercoat red. What can i cut and what should i keep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolinaBansheeMan Posted August 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Pics of the stuck axle and carrier. I think sandblasting or replacing them wont be an option.Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaBansheeMan Posted August 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Pics of the a arms and shocks. I got all the bolts loose on the arms. The shocks look pretty bad. Maybe i should replace them?Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaBansheeMan Posted August 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 This beat me up pretty bad. Cant free it up to save the mount. Ill see if i can cut it off without damaging the mount.Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
