Will paint actually hold up to the riding? I never thought it would. I figured it would get scratched off easily, and the flex from the fairing/fenders wouldn't let it stick very well.

Someone needs to organize an LS1tech ATV outing.

We dont have one just yet. Thinking about taking up a new less expensive hobby. Go to www.bigcountrymotorsports.com/ride.ivnu
There is a list of places in or near the Houston area to ride.
I've been looking at the Yamaha Raptor 350, Honda TRX400, Suzuki LT-Z400 and similar. Hard pressed to spend any money just yet until we get settled into a house.

ok i have ridden the 350 raptor and you will not like it very much you will outgrow it fast, and it isnt to good on turns, as for the others i think i would go for the honda even thou they are a bit pricey, but they do look a lot more sporty,

I think with painting atvs they add something that will let the paint flex. I think i read that somewhere.



Gabe my banshee is a stock banshe which is a twin cylinder, twin carbed, 350 cc 2 stroke.

That paint is SWEET on that banshee!!! I would love to go ride some dunes someday.

You can go to www.texasatvs.com There is a lot of info and stuff there.

There is a place to ride where I live that has plenty of room for us to get on some streets, bayou's and some concrete run overs we can jump in several directions. There is also spots we can go through mud or race each other in an oval or straight away. The place can also be driven to on the road of the new subdivision and we just drive right onto the bayou and park. It is all woods. Would not get in any trouble or offend anyone that might live by. They are building a new section of the neibhorhood where we would ride. I live to miles from the place. We can meet at my place or a kroger right by the place to ride. Let me know if you want to do that.....

this sounds awsome, lmk when you might be free so we can take a little ride, around and see what our bikes have , also is 350 the only size banshee's are made, or is that what you wanted.
