Ayjax Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 I just purchased this 2003 gem. I also bought my first banshee from the show room in 2003. I want to turn this stock beauty into a daily use monster. Any ideas or advice or whatever contribution to this build is welcomed. So far im starting with a T-5 exhaust, brings back memories. And from there well go bit by bit till it hits 80 hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do suspension and a cub setup with shearers and be done with it. You'll be money ahead just going straight into it. T5's are probably the best sounding/looking stamped pipe. But they aren't good for much besides that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to find some clean CPI pipes, the normal ones not the drag pipes, but I think theyll be okay for the build. Which setup cub do u think I should go with? Serval or Cheetah or?? About the suspension, which brands are known to be the best?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I have to get race gas for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox shocks with Roll a-arms always look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 4mm Serval, CPI, 35mm PWK on pump gas will get you 80-85. I'd do suspension also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the suspension, which brands are known to be the best??Has to be a good brand that makes strong arms, which narrows it down to Roll, Lonestar, and Fireball.Has to be a brand that has a good shock program for their arms, which narrows it down to Roll and Lonestar.Of those, roll has a MUCH better shock program. I like Fox but that’s just because I’m used to them. Any shocks that dyno right and have the right rates will be fine, but that’s a lot of work. Just go through Roll for the shocks.Definitely want to pair the front with 4/1 rims. Taller stem with good bars will help too.

locogato11283 Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Here's a couple complete front end kits that would work just fine. I would opt for the LSR/Fox, but that's just me. Either one of these are going to be night and day difference from stock. https://www.ebay.com/itm/382291709971?fits=Make%3AYamaha&hash=item59025c9013:g:kCoAAOSw58tjG7IU&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0PBD3S%2F9ppA0hjcwSdEFr48ZFwxUh1hx2fUnylQlNVkww%2BOqJb77iW0H6CLrJTMb1PfjtXkLBtoKpFgF38juESQhw%2FOQZbKMo8ISdiiUoY3emCIkszP2%2FFgp8BUohnL6221n8k3FKLn2lBFMxfG961JVqKcJQPeGx%2F3ZlxDq6dXx0FepqHBXLpSg%2FyvI6bliH5yLasQ2HW39Uhe82lwxJsyuS8YXw2LESKMz0NZhs8UUBCIqZrL%2BsWz3QFe1U7Xb7BinIPtAakW4ZNfVMguvSz8%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8qLx_PuYg https://www.ebay.com/itm/401713089274?fits=Make%3AYamaha&hash=item5d87f74afa:g:7lUAAOSwbVViArOD&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8BkWU5%2BXwoNuIBzBbOnlCCtqMu4sJ6Zoueym%2BrTatmG07cL1mo6xhb6QCf7K0Vk%2BicufbDH03LTC%2BFRZa0T8q25sYOAomYbPd2O91WSWJM%2FlmEUHt4XGJWpZwW1M460FmqI1tDWY74O1Wg26QyXWej5v3391ros%2BR022Dcp58ZU8Q9y82xOVamRW4Y%2BF6z%2B6g%2FNb1BFPiCDGLUmsoQVVCz8WBSjf5i2x19ZHqdCHFIz%2F7pKgGxvAcKukplLNlF2%2BirhywnwG7HHE5mo8gFVARquaA8vziU7GAybGCvMJk8NcLTfKz0FBxS2kaiR2yjnytg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8yLx_PuYg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
