I will be buying new tires this week for my banshee and I have pretty much decided on Bandits. I still don't know if I should get the Bandit XC front or the Bandit XCR front. Does anyone have any experience with the XCR? The XCR is only available in a 23" height vs. 21" and 22" for the XC. How does front tire height effect handling? Thanks for oppinions on any of these tires!

The taller tires will have a softer ride over bumps but feedback will be more vague. The taller tires will roll a bit more in turns. They will also shift the weight bias more rearward resulting in the front feeling lighter. I would use the "21s but anything is better than stock tires.

Hey Yambike, Can you tell me where you connected your tether kill switch, as far as which wire and where did you splice into it? I want to put mine on tomorrow and don't know where to hook it. My service manual isn't here yet and Tom at Pro Design won't be in until Monday.

I connected the longer wire to the positive wire on the coil using a connector from one of those kits. The shorter wire gets connected to ground. I grounded that using one of the bolts that fastens the coil to the frame.
