pics?

If you were out west, you could probably get close to $3500. Out here in PA, it seems like only a select few, like myself, have banshee's.

If you're by the coal region, maybe $2500. In NEPA, maybe $2000.

No I didnt get pics.

Im in the Northwest part by the coal mines.

Im just making just that the 2000 he wants for it isnt a rip off.

He wont go lower.

Find out who did the motorwork. And you can find nicer banshees unmolested for around the same price.

He did everything but the port and polish. I know the guy and he rebuilt my friends 250x motor from parts in a box. Building motors is his side job.

Sounds liek a nice uad , the RZ gears probably gear it extremely high. but the j arms would scare me away. you can pick up a nice rolling Jarm chassis with plastics for 500 bucks. I know becasue ive done it.

that leaves 1500 to build a sick motor.

The aftermarket J-arms are really thick and sturdy. They dont scare me. Mostly because im not going to jump it higher than 3 ft

well, thats you. If you go on the banshee site and to people who like banshee's, the j-arms dont scare them at all. They aren;t that bad.

Exactly. They're obviously something wrong with them since Yamaha changed them, but im pretty sure their just not goin to snap on me. Few bushing here and there, but hey, who cares? This thing is already fast as it is, I dont need to put 1500 in a motor hahah. We'll see either tomorrow or friday if I get it.
