New to Banshees, trying to restore to OEM


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone.  I just picked up my first Banshee.  Its a 2004.  I love it.  The previous owner was the second owner and just had the motor completely rebuilt.  Its in good shape.  However, there are a few things that I am changing.  First of all, the bike was being converted into a drag bike, which I don't want to do.  So there are a couple of things I need to do.  The original owner welded over the front bumper bolt holes and welded a grab bar on instead of just bolting it up.  The bike has a custom paint job on the frame, which is nice, but it doesnt have these stock mounting locations for a front bumper or a grab bar of my choice.  

 

How do you suggest I go about fixing the frame so I can mount a front bumper of my choice and a grab bar of my choice?

Can you re-drill the holes.

With the nice paint it'll be an issue, but there's a lot of people who cut brackets...off, if you pay shipping i'm sure you can get most of it for free.

If you want it for looks & not Necessarily for function, you can make some bracket like a "p" clamp style for most brackets.

Depending what you have left @ grab bar, you can sleeve the sub frame & adapt back close to oem & buy what ever bar you want. Post pic's so we can get an idea as to what your working with...use tapatalk if it says pic's to large.
