ok guys, i got jacked around on a incomplete set of front hydro's for $200+ sum , followed the ebay bidding on an 03+ blaster setup up into the $300 range, and have seen other banshee setups going close to $200, and ya still have to fab,rig,ream, and drill for them to fit, so i set out to find a better solution and heres what i came up with......
first off get yourself a set of ken oconnor racing front conversion spindles....
direct bolt on, no jury rigging at all, well worth every penny, here's the links.............

KOR hydro conversion spindles:
next i watched ebay for the 2 remaining peices needed..........
i got 2001 banshee hubs/rotors $25, you'll need 1990+ with the recessed screws that hold the disc on, pre '90's/j-arm banshee hydro parts will not work
i found out that raptor660 and most yamaha sport atv calipers are the same, i got those with lines for $25, and they even came with the plastic cover that snapped to my a-arms to hold and protect the lines, I spent the better part of an hour a piece sanding and polishing them, plus new pads for $20
i got some free pre '90 banshee stuff from one of our members and used the resivour/handle, line and splitter from that set, but i've seen resi/handles go for less than $20,
i will prolly change the all the lines to dual braided stainless or single into splitter from streamline sometime soon,
connecting the raptor and banshee splitters together was the only tricky part of this whole thing, i blocked off the 1 hard line out of the banshee splitter, eventually with a bolt and teflon tape, then fed a new 6" hard line from auto zone into the raptor splitter, bending the tubing carefully downward to reach the rappy splitter
so total cost + shipping (which was minimal).........
KOR spindles $125 w/core, $150 straight up.
90+ banshee hubs/rotors...$25
raprtor660 calipers/brackets/lines...$25
new brake pads....$20
banshee resi/handle/line.....free
not getting jacked around/overpaying for 03+ stuff/being able to do stoppies......priceless
