    A Bit of Carnage

    This is what happend to my Banshee after I rolled it 20+ times down a very steep rocky hill last week, Tell me what you think.
    Torn Seat Cover


    Broken Rock Protector and Glass


    Broken Plastic on Light



    Very Bent Grab Bar


    Cracked, Scratched, and Broken Rear Plastic


    Slightly Tweeked Frame


    Bent Rear Axle


    This is How My Banshee Looks Rite Now (After I Painted the Frame and Took Off Most of The Broken Parts)


    And the Other Side


    All the plastics are broken as well and the part on the steering stem were the tie rods hook up to is bent also, I couldn't get a good picture of any of those. I Will get a picture of the hill i rolled down soon.

    Well now the grand total is up to 3,000 dollars... So what is that now about $150 dollars per roll. Its almost finished it should be done this Wednesday. But now it looks like I have to get a new front left rim, It is bent pretty bad. Rite now my friend is fixing the banshee up. He had to send it to a frame guy and get the rear of the frame straightened, soon after we found out that the front of the frame was bent as well and the things that hold the steering stem were bent all the way to the gas tank. Luckily he was able to fix all that. All the parts have been installed. He is now just going over the electrical to get the headlights to work and to re-wire it so that it doesn't need a key. I am going to have to get some inexpensive front shocks, the stock ones are to soft with the +2 a-arms. As soon as it gets finished and I get it back I will post some Pics of it!

    YES! My Banshee finally came back today; Here are the pictures I took today, they are kind of low quality and the frame color is diffewrent in these pictures than it really looks, because I took them in the dark, tomorrow in the daylight I will take some better pictures. Yes I do know one of the shock covers is upside down. The Banshee is about 90% complete. So tell me what you think of it so far!

    Ok, Here are some daytime Pictures.



































































    I am getting the last couple of parts this week. I am ordered some "Works Shocks, AT Steeler Front Shocks". Those should come by the end of the week. Rite now I have stock Banshee front shocks and they are to soft with the 2+1 A-arms.. The A-Arms are great, nothing like having a 1989 Banshee with A-Arms instead of J-Arms. Tomorrow I am getting a new front left rim, the one on there rite now is bent. Also I really done like how the spindles are red... It looked good when my plastics were red but now I don't really think it goes to well, so as soon as I get the chance I am gunna change them to Black. Other than those couple of things everything is great! Tell me what you think about my banshee!
