Ditch The Fullbores?

I mounted a rotopax 1 gal tank, for my last trip to Glamis. Not the cheapest route, but its solid and easy to remove the tank when I don't need it. I threw together a bracket that mounts to the stock grab bar and relocates a flag mount to the side a little more. Been looking at utilizing a JDS grab bar to for a more refined mounting system.

Well the 2-stroke guys I used to ride with either sold their quads or don't go to the dunes anymore.

 

Honestly as fast as the banshee is, there's no way I'm faster than our leader on his 450 out in the dunes when he wants to be fast, hes been riding the dunes since I have been alive and is very good at it. It's not all about being the fastest on the ride since mostly I ride with a large group, rzrs and some sometimes a nice rail or two.

 

Last trip I ended up riding the 250r because it does much better on fuel. The banshee is a hog. I use 1/3rd tank just to get over to the big dunes from Olgiby Camp Area, 1/3rd riding the dunes, then the last 1/3rd coming back from the larger dunes. (roughly). But even at Glamis the 4 stroke guys get longer rides in, and just do less of them a day. I do not like riding alone, its just too unsafe. It's just the way things are going, people don't ride Banshees annymore, parts are always custom ordered online only etc. The banshee can't keep up, simply because it runs out of gas before the finish line lol.

 

So should I get another set of plastics and a desert tank or give up on the banshee and get some better suspension for the 250r? I don't mind dumping in $80 of race gas per ride, but I'm wondering how terrible the Banshee will look if I find some stock plastics and a desert tank. I'm thinking it will look pretty bad compared to now, but that's probably better than only getting 1/2 a ride in.

Only need a nose piece and rad shroud. Super cheap. Get the big tank and get used to the look. Some desert bikes look hot! Or you can get the nose, shroud, and new tank hydro dipped by JD. That would be sweet
