steve you have a mistake in your research bro... the large pattern rear hubswere a 89 and 90 deviation from the small pattern or "normal" banshee hubs..

[370]

you may want to add that all lower a arms are the same.. in teh front suspesnion change the only difference is actually the upper arm... some guys don;t know that.... i know that you and i both do... but some guys are under teh impression it's all different. we need a "what swaps" thread for shees.. as well..

[370]

ahh another addition... std. gearign was different... i bleeive 87-88 had 13/42 gearing.. while all other years had 14/41 gearing..

oh and 89-90 with teh large pattern hubs came std with a 10" rear wheel.. this is because the large 4x156 pattern hub will not fit into a 9" wheel... that 4x156 pattern is also the same pattern as tecate, mohave, lakota, and some predator rear wheels...

Sounds good, after we get all the info aired out I will tighten it up....

[wacko jacko]

it went from a plain tail light to having the big bulky tail/brake light when u hit front or rear brakes in 03 i think was the first year
didnt the tire sizes vary in the early years too?
