1999 Warrior Rebuild "Jar-Jar"

[DeadLastRacing]

Just won a banshee rear on ebay. Really need to get the afco's rebuilt of find something just as good or better cheap. Once I get this suspesion done all I have left is the motor biuld.

You call Greg's yet?

Not yet, Only reason I went for the banshee rear cause I got it at a really good price.

Just sent them an email, thanks Dean.

Wow I just went back thru the entire thread, I didnt actually realize how much its changed since I got it. Guess since I see it every day the change wasnt as drastic to me. Obviously Im still a long ways from done but at this point: To everyone thats complimented my build I wanna give a big thanks. And to all that have bought my extra parts between replaced parts on both quads and left overs from the parts one, your the reason Jar-Jar looks like it does now. So you can take some pride in it to, or hell even some credit.

Greg emailed me back, I think hes going to be doing them. Im gonna found out the info he needs and go from there. Heres what he sent back:

$55 per shock ( fronts only )

plus the costs of any parts ( seals, bushings, bumpers etc. )

Thanks
Greg

Cool dude. Runnin those shocks will be kick ass! Rare parts are fun to talk about.

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

Ya, I always love running stuff no one else has. I'll probably send them out as soon as he get back to me again.

 

[DeadLastRacing]

Got picks, what are they again? Afco?

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

Yep Afco's, the springs on them look like stockers though. Wonder if theres some different springs I can get that will be better for cheap.

 

[hawkster0001]

maybe banshee springs? dual rate. or you could rig up some shorter springs and a couple small ones to have the multiple springs like elkas and works

they make kits for stock 450 shocks, bit pricey,

those shocks are great, rebuilt theyll do you just fine

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

The only thing that really worrys me about the springs is when they are fully extended and fully backed off theres about a 2" gap. I have found afco springs on ebay.

 

[beastlywarrior228]

dont worry greg will get them all set up nicely for you

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

Ok cool man

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

Decided to a little VIN research last night, as I hadnt taken the time to verify it was a 98. Well I was dead wrong Jar-Jar is a 99.

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

Finally got my banshee rear in the mail today and again wasted no time getting it in. Then I finally took it for a ride with the new Klaws. Really impressed with both, tires gripped when I needed it and ripped loose when I wanted them to. Banshee rear made the ride feel really nice. Gonna be getting the Afco's sent to Greg here soon. Also the banshee rear helped level it out agian.

 

[beastlywarrior228]

hmmm i have yep to put my banshee rear on

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

I definatley like it, just learning how the settings work on it. Oh ya, also got my plastics looking really good to, Ill put some pics up later.

If you take and bend the fender mount on the RR to the rear it won't have all that fender flop
