My '93 Banshee project


Recommended Posts

Been waiting on things to start showing up so I got bored and unbolted everything from the motor and started powder coating it. Just lack the clutch cover and the bottom part of the cool head. Those will be gloss white.

 

Did the top part of the head, intakes, water neck, water pump cover and outer part of the clutch cover gloss black.

The a arms showed up today. They're the cheap $200 ones on eBay and they actually fit ok surprisingly enough. I'm going to redo them in white.

Just waiting on the swingarm stuff to get here now so I can have it sitting on all 4's when I go to put the new motor in.

They were $200 brand new with ball joints and tie rods...I don't expect them to be great. But, if the same tabs are holding up on my $600 a arms, I don't see why they wouldn't on these. What would you rather see the tabs made out of?

Toughed out the cold weather this weekend and got the new bullet put back together and shoved in the chassis.

Clutch cover powder coated glossy white to go with the bottom of the head and the carbs. Going to get either a clear or smoked lense to replace the blue one. CPI pipes were kind of a pain to fit. Had to space out just a little bit on each side. But they look sooooo good. Also, going to have to space my foot peg out to clear the clutch cover and probably bend the brake pedal out some.

Got one side of my cheap ebay arms powder coated glossy white but ran out of powder before I could do the other side.These things actually fit really well and the welds didn't look terrible. I've seen worse for sure.

Now just waiting on some more white powder, my new swingarm, and wheels and this will be ready to start tearing up some sand!

Finally warm enough this weekend to get back out in the garage. Finished powder coating the front end parts, assembled and somewhat aligned.

Turned it around so I could start taking apart to the rear of the bike so it's ready when the new swing arm comes in. Powder coated all the parts back there

Also got the new clear lense and stiff ring put on.

I'm ready to take this thing for a rip. I have 3 bikes now, and none of them run. I'm having withdraws lol. Going to get a new stator. The one on this motor I'm guessing is for a newer bike. It has a different wiring plug and it's missing one of the bullet connectors. Also have to trim a couple little nubs on the inside of the frame so these big ass filters will fit on the carbs. Hopefully that's about it as far as getting this thing running again. Then I can focus on making the others run lol

Finally touched this thing again this last week. Went to replace the stator with one for an older like mine is and found this...

 

I don't know how it happened, or who did it, but damn. This is what I get for buying used stuff I guess. I re-tapped it and put a new stud in it and I don't see why it won't work again, but I couldn't believe this when I found it

I put that back together and then fired it up for the first time. It sounds good. Wish I could ride it.

 

Put the plastics back on and to kind of stay with the 1993 theme (minus the purple seat and tank cover) I decided to coat the wheels white. I think it's going to look pretty cool once it's all put together.

Swing arm should finally be here soon. Unfortunately I'll be at the race track the rest of the week and won't be able to work on it. But, should be able to have it buttoned back up just in time for the HQ ride next weekend at Little Sahara
