brock_fuzzy_69 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 well i got myself a parts banshee last week it wasa good buy i guess as i didnt pay spit for it but i cant believe how patched together soem stuff on it is who has seen a "custom" shifter before by custom i do mean there is an 11/16 craftsman in plac3e of the actual shifter it was bent to an L and welded to what was left of the original so i was just curious what other sorts of crazy hillbuilly fixes you guys had seen before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyRo_ZaCh Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 one time we had a piece of copper pipe (about 2ft) comin off my tail pipe just cuz it looked funny, then i hit a stump and bent the shifter and had no way to shift then we came up with an idea to use my new "tail pipe" as a lever and fixed the shifter and could never tell it was bent, sorta red neck just thought it was funny and before u start questioning things this was on the tt-r 225 bike (not banshee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelbanshee2 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 when my brother got his 250r the pipe was held together with screen door springs. to owner put them on becasue the pipe springs were rusty...but he said the new sniney screen door spring will work just as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brock_fuzzy_69 Posted May 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 hwo bout a weld on the top a arm right where the ball joint mounting plate is there must have been a crack so they put a pair of 1/4 or 5/16 bolts on there and then welded them into place to reinforce it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STLBILL Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Hi guys: Just for the record. I traded my 'Shee in last week and I am in Saint Louis (not far from Illinois) but the one he described is not mine... :-) Well, not unless the person who bought it did that to it already and sold it again...

cb67rs1 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 My buddy has lawn chair parts on his shee, the mounts for the rear fenders had been grinded off by the previous owner. its not lawn chair parts, they are from a metal folding chair, and if anyone from this site looked at it they would never figure out where they are in a million years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
