Banshee Front Brakes On Blaster

[awwmann]

is it possible to use the whole front brake set up off of a banshee on a blaster i have everything hubs spindles rotors calipers lever hoses and master cylinder thanks

Yes it is possible. Depending on the year of the banshee that you got the spindles from you might need to machine them to fit the blaster ball joints. But other than that... direct swap... no problem.

its a 94 blaster the banshee was a 2001 thanks

What? the Blaster is a 2stroke? Man... I'm glad I found this place... learned something new already!

You're kidding right?

Glad this question was posted, I'm sick n tired of the crap-ass dragging, squeeking, garbage on the front of my Blasters. I put hydros on the rear of both blasters but since the front are the primary use, I've gotta do something about them. If it's not one side grabbing like a rock, it's the other side squeeking like a siezing rod. Time to hit Ebay. Mine are 02 and 99, what years Banshee will swap over?(modding understood)

As long as the style of caliper matches the style of spindle (for example both parts are from the J-arm style banshee or both parts are from the A-arm style banshee) either will work. I believe the East Coast ATV brake conversion kit uses the OLDER style spindles and calipers from the J-arm shee's. I don't honestly remember which style spindle needs to be modified, I think the older style bolts right on without any fabrication. But anyway... they both work... the spindle geometry is the same as the blaster, but the ball joint holes are slightly different on one of them.

You're welcome bro... I know blasters a little... but I'm not much of a mechanic... lots of other guys here are much better at that stuff.

Hey... I never got back to you on that carb... do you still need it?

Yeah, thanks for the info. Boring out the holes or just changing the tie-rods themselves is an easy thing. Worth it to add some good stopping power. Especially after yesterday. My boy and I were playing ATV polo with a huge beachball. What a blast. Till he hit the front brakes during a tight turn and the quad leaned up on 2 wheels and the front wheel locked. Over he went. The only good part of that was I got the ball. LOL

Hahah... ATV polo... never heard of that one, but I'm totally going out to find a big ass beach ball today!

You couldn't be more right about the stock drum brakes. They were usually good for a season or two until they got wet. Then... they just start to suck bad. One side will lock up or just brake harder than the other so you lose control as you try to stop, and they squeel like a teenage girl at a Justin Timberlake concert!
