thinking of changing to spindle

As far as I know....you have to get Jr. Dragster mounts, and no on the front brakes.

I'd look on PS or here for used setup, or...I'm pretty sure you can get them from JJ&A...but they're pricey. I'm 100% positive you can get the wheels for spindle mounts, not sure on the spindles themselves...though..

wicked atv sells front spindle mounts that are machined to accept rotors, yes you can still run front brakes. some asphalt tracks this is a must. bigboy has my old ones on his bike i think.if i didn t run front brakes on some tracks i went to i would be dead. like zinc city and englishtowns 8 th mile track.

You don't need no stinkin front brakes :tongue:

 

Yes, I run John's old spindle mounts, only place I'm aware of that sells the spindle mounts with brake rotor attachments is wickedatv. They are extremely nice people to deal with, Roger took great care of me when I needed replacement bearings, etc.

 

You don't need anything special to run them, just pull of your existing hub and rotor, put the rotor on your new spindle mount wheel, then apply a little grease on the spindle and slide the wheel on. Install spacer on the outside of wheel, then washer, then the castle nut, and finally the cotter pin. Re-install brake caliper, you're done.

You do not have to run jr. dragster spindles. JJ and A offer hubs to support OEM Banshee brake rotors and spindles. On the other end of the spectrum, you can remove the caliper mounting brackets from your banshee spindles and order the JJ and A spindles without any brake mounting features.

 

Direct Drive and JJ and A both make a fantastic product and are great companies to deal with. :geek:

NYUK, I know it's old.... But what's up with the rear swinger section on this? Is that a boxed in aluminum truss?

I love that bike, always a favorite. We all have to run guards that's just a stellar example of a well thought out piece. I usually see erecter sets held together with zip ties

what happened to highroller?
