Speedie Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) My Banshee has been totalled, by my insurance company. In order for me to keep it I have to take 1600 out of my final settlement. What would you guys do? Let them have it or fix it back up. All it really needs is a new frame everything else seem okay. It rides and run fine now though, frame isn't bent bad enough to effect the ride. It's not anything special, but here's what it has everything is stock except. It's a 2002 with V-force 2, Paul Turner Mid pipes, Razr's on douglas rims with have alot of tread still. MSD ignition, Fat bars. DG bumper and nerf bars(bent not bad) Timing plate, K&N filter and with UNI intake.Lowing kit in back that's more of less it. So what do you guys think keep for 1600 or let it go and start all over? I plan on buying another Banshee regardless. I want a drag/dune bike also. I thought if I keep this one. I'm not going to fix it untill fall. There are some hill's I want to climb first and they are hills I know I won't be able to make it up the first few times, so I know it will roll a time or two on these hills.

dogboystoy Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 What are they going to total it at? 1600$ off the price is a lot of money for a bike that is totaled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th Grave Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hell a frame don't cost that much.If you have the money get a Lonestar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedie Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 i'll buy the pipes off you and send you my stockers for free pm me if interested 517807[/snapback] I'd do it but They want this bike by ASAP. I thought there were a set of PT mids in the for sale section though. All the bike really needs is a new frame. I think if I buy a used one I'd have around 2000 in it. Plus the extra 2000 left over. That doesn't sound like a bad deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I'd keep it if only the frame was damaged Get a used frame and your up and running again or part it on ebay and make more then $1600. either way is win win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedie Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Well I decided to keep it. I figure I could always get a good used frame for it, but I more than likeily I will just ride it the way it is. It still rides great. I'm going to buy a drag/dune bike soon and may need parts off of it anyway. I figure I could always part it out if I had too and should be able to get the 1600 back for it or hope anyway.

Justintoxicated Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Keep it and buy a new frame, it's not $1600 for a new frame! Lucky you had insurance, I just messed up my frame as well, and have spent about 1200 on fixing it (new plastics as well) and I don't have a second bike like you will have...

DIRTMAN350 Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Sounds like you made a good decision. Let us know how your next build turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedie Posted May 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Sounds like you made a good decision. Let us know how your next build turns out. 521286[/snapback] I plan to buy one already built. I know that's not a real man's way of doing it, but I just don't have time to build one from the ground up. Especially the bike I want. I want a 10mm stroker cheetah/t-rex. Maybe on alcohol. The only thing I want to do is maybe custom paint it and chrome it out. I plan to only most ride it on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
