NugShee Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Ok guys, I have done a ton of polishing aluminum in the past few years but never done a set of banshee cylinders. I just started them and did a little spot to see how they are going to turn out. Got a shine out of them but they look more like steal then aluminum. They have almost a black chrome look instead of the traditional chrome finish. I also noticed that they seem much harder then normal 6061 aluminum. These cylinders are off of a 2001 Banshee. Am I just trippen or are these things cast Iron. MeatHead, Help me out. Thanks in advance guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BdBanshee Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 The cylinders are cast aluminum with a cast iron sleeve pressed into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
