Banshee17Racing Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Gary at Quicksand did mine.....not too sure if he still does but I'd assume so. Definately a great guy to deal with. It turned out sweet, cheap too. I've talked to some people that are skeptical about the whole cutting part, but I've tested mine with no problem what so ever. Also, I recently bought 18" kenda klaws for the rear and haven't had a problem hooking up since. But I've never seen a TT track in person so I'm not too sure how those would do.

ledofthezep Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Just cut it. You'll be like every other skeptic who's pondered whether or not to shorten their swinger....you'll ask & ask about it, then do it....and then post about how much better your banshee handles & how happy you are...blablabla ya get the point.

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 (edited) Most people enlarge their swinger because they've never tried the reduction. SHEE will respond better because it puts you in better position allowing for a better ride.

Cotton eyed Joe Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Stan, what is your price for that conversion? For the carrier, the carrier tube, the pinch tubes, the bolts and nuts, the brake mount, the brake mount spacers, the brake mount pin, the snap ring, an adjusting tool, the bearings, seals and spacer is $215 shipped. The carrier tube comes slit, the pinch tubes come cut to size, and the carrier comes with the bearings, seals, and spacer installed and ready to run.

I can't weld so all of my welding is done by a state certified welder that I do quite a bit of business with. I don't have the time to make a jig for converting stock swingarms or I would offer it. Got plenty of round chromoly in stock though. But yes, basically once you get it all welded on you just put your axle on, your brake on, your chain on, and go riding.
