On another note found out that the LTR pegs aren't just a bolt up and go (well drill out a bolt hole then bolt and go). The foot brake won't push down because the peg doesn't allow it. So gonna find some 1/4-1/2" chromoly or aluminum spacers and get some longer stronger bolts to fix the problem.

Looks really good Derick.

Finally got my spacers and hardware to put my ltr footpegs on. Turned out great a total $28 upgrade and man is it a huge upgrade from the lt500 stock pegs.

Any weight difference?

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #754 on:** December 05, 2013, 08:22:58 pm »

I didn't weigh them but the ltr pegs seemed to be equal or less weight the the stockers. Though the amount of added boot grip and surface area along with the lower position of the pegs makes for a very nice difference. I'm thoroughly happy with this modification especially for the price!

does the kicker have a stop at the bottom of its stroke. if it doesnt it will smack the clutch cover and break it.

Don't ask how he knows this....

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #757 on:** December 06, 2013, 04:49:38 am »

I tested it when I originally put them in and the peg stopped the kicker I didn't test after putting the spacers in for the brake lever to have clearence. I will test it before I pull the motor. If not I will have plenty of time while tearing the motor apart to clean the reed pettles out to have a kick stop welded to the peg.

Taking motor apart? Want to sell the tranny? hahaha

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #759 on:** December 06, 2013, 06:49:28 am »

I'll trade you my bottom end minus my clutch setup for both of your bottoms ends minus the better clutch setup of the two and your extra top end...

Nice zilla bud, would be nice to to have one

Rider414 · « **Reply #761 on:** December 12, 2013, 05:33:44 pm »

Why are we still commenting on this? This ass clown is going to sell the Zilla and buy a Banshee!!

Dezsled · « **Reply #762 on:** December 12, 2013, 05:46:12 pm »

No way!!

A banshee?!?

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #763 on:** December 12, 2013, 07:08:15 pm »

Damn Matt really throw me under the bus there lol.

I'm going to sell it and buy two one will be a trail rig (not a banshee) the other will be a drag bike (will likely be a banshee)

. This is of course contengent on this guy having cash in hand and also contengent on my top/bottom end not being damaged from the reeds getting sucked in the motor.

Rainman56 · « **Reply #764 on:** December 12, 2013, 09:45:59 pm »

Anyone giving odds on whether this deal will happen?lol

All American · « **Reply #765 on:** December 13, 2013, 12:04:52 am »

I wish ya the best of luck if it's what ya want to do. It's your four wheeler. I was just hoping if you were going to sell your Zilla, that maybe you could save another Zilla from the bone yard. That keeps money and services flowing through out the quadracer community and preserves one more Zilla that I may one day want to buy. I dig your quadracer. The colors really works well together and it is sharp.

LT250RWV · « **Reply #766 on:** December 13, 2013, 01:00:44 am »

Not a banshee. Remember me and you bashing the banshee guys dime a dozen Derrick.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #767 on:** December 13, 2013, 04:33:38 am »

They are a dime a dozen which is why it's gonna be my drag bike because there's tons or parts and tons of power potential as a result of the available parts market. I will eventually get another Zilla and build it about the same as this one some day. And like the Rainman said there's no guarantee the deal will even go through. I was never expecting someone to offer me $5000 for the bike so if I can sell it in one piece and not have to part it out to make a buck, I'd rather do that.

Did you ever even drag race this quad yet.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #770 on:** December 13, 2013, 09:05:15 am »

I have not put it through the lights yet I have raced several machines on it during my trip to KY about a month ago.

Dezsled · « **Reply #771 on:** December 13, 2013, 09:16:46 am »

Just remember Derrick those banshees have two of everything....

Rods, pistons, cyl, combustion chambers, pipes/silencers, carbs, tie rods, headlights lol... lots to go wrong!

Chuckie25 · « **Reply #772 on:** December 13, 2013, 10:36:06 am »

Damn things got 4 tires too!! Way too expensive to own them

Motoman991 · « **Reply #773 on:** December 13, 2013, 10:57:35 am »

If you want to go fast, a Banshee is how it's done.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #774 on:** December 13, 2013, 11:29:15 am »

From what I've heard though banshees hold together a little better then the Zillas when you start getting high hp numbers out of the engines. Just what I've heard. That and unlike my Zilla it will be purpose built and only used to go down the strip. My Zilla would be competitive on the strip but probably wouldn't win me any trophies and really for the types of trails I ride it's almost to powerful to have a lot of fun on it. Keep in mind I haven't done any suspension upgrades other then camber fix and bump steer mod.
