Is there any other way to change the look of the front hood? I looked at the full bore plastics and I'm not a big fan
Rebuild on the "FREE SHEE"
- Thread starter Wifesblaster
- Start date
So I was just reading about those plastics. There is a reason they only show them from the front. They look like sh*t from the side. I liked them before I saw a side view. Anybody have any ideas on how to change the original look? I really don't like the flat outdated look.
yeah the radiator stocks out huh, thats why i hate em and i dont like raptor style plastics anyways
Check out voltric they make some sweet hoods and fenders for the banshee.
Thanks. I will check it out later on my laptop. My I pad won't let me for some reason.
Update... The shee now has working front and rear brakes. I did a wheel swap with my blaster because the will work better on the shee. The offsets and spacers were not working. We run our bike at 48" wide. I also took the cylinders and pistons off to send to ken for inspection/porting. The crank looked and felt good. I ordered a polished clutch cover, clutch cover gasket, petcock, and master cylinder cover. I will be stripping the red paint off of the plastics and getting the decals off soon. Here is a pic.
JDS custom bashee grills is another good one.
so the one you sent to ken is it the new motor ior is it the one that was in it? I've lost track
I put the banshee wheels on the blasty. I have an extra set of banshee rears, but I'm keeping them for spares sense both bike now are running banshee bolt pattern.
I'm sending ken the cylinders from the motor I just bought. The motor that came with it needed a crank and the cylinders were bored to the max.
My 200 watt stator with adjustable timing ame it today. I slapped it on and set it to +4.

Decided to bring the rusty t5 pipes to work with me today. They are not done yet, but are getting pretty close. Here are some pics.
I'm the boss! I try to keep it to breaks and lunch though. Gotta love union work.
So I got almost all the surface rust off. Now I will hit it with a polishing pad and compound to get rid of the swirl marks. I was going to shine up the plastics tonight, but the wife is sick. Doesn't look like there will be any garage time tonight.

I didn't get a whole lot done tonight. I did finally get those hideous graphics off. They were a b*tch! Took a whole bottle of goof off. (I love that stuff.)
I will be removing the dumb red paint soon. Then I will wets and all the plastics. This is the graphics kit I'm going to throw on there.

And I'm hit it all with mop and glow.
Decided to give the blasty a little love too. Had the graphics guy at work make these for me.
Fender is still dirty from the last outing.

Miraculaus how long it take you most of the day??
I have a feeling your neighbor is going to most envious when you ride by
It didn't take that long. Probably 1.5 hours. You would be surprised how fast that die grinder works with the scoot pack. That's just stage 1 though. I still have to polish them. Total time will probably be around 4 hours for 2 pipes ans silencers. I paid 160 for them, new they are 600. Well worth a half day. Makes you appreciate the shine more too.
