I bought a large list of parts for my Banshee yesterday and I would like to see what everyone thinks of the parts I chose, None of them are really performance parts. I just had to get a bunch of parts to replace all the ones that broke when I crashed it recently. Most of them are cosmetic. Last weekend I also took everything off the frame and hand sanded the whole frame and Spray Painted it DupliColors Shimmering Green Color (http://www.duplicolor.com/products/metalspecks.html), Which is a green color with metal flakes in it. It took forever but I think in the end it was worth it.
