  1. Definitely go Driveline cases. OEM quality with added material for the trenching and the sealing surface is beefed up. 
     

    Pro Mod transmission will be the way to go for what you’re doing. Maybe see if hou can get your hands on an RZ350 transmission out of the street bike for longer gearing. Sprockets  can get ya by on the stock trans, but the spread on the street bike trans is nice. There is always the option of switching primary gears as well. 
     

  2.  I think I would consider swapping to a big bore pipe. The CPI’s were definitely keeping it hot as they’re pretty much past their capabilities at 500CC, let alone a ported super cub. 
    The switch to Shearers will help, but after riding for a while in the dunes I bet you’re still fighting heat. They will be sweet for short rides and dyno runs, but a race gas motor with timing over 500cc is gonna be much happier with a big bore pipe for longer rides. 

  3. You can definitely get the cylinders ported. If it’s already apart it would be worth making a few other easy and cheap upgrades that make the rest of the package run right. You’ll need domes for your set up, and a timing plate would be worth tossing on there. The carbs can be jetted for the new set up. A ported stock bore/stroke set up dialed in could make 60ish hp depending on how it’s set up.

    Well, I was not into the yfz 450 stuff on a banshee before. However after my conversation there is alot to be gained there. The guys who bought all the laeger jigs out of france are making a banshee with 450ish front suspension. That would be the one to copy if a guy was going to do that. A note on the lonestar frame, I believe that frame has a improved rear shock location.

    I paid to have a YFZ geometry banshee frame done. It was designed so that any yfz parts will bolt up. Only specific parts would be a lengthened yfz steering stem to clear the higher banshee tank, and a custom rear no link shock for your application. Jigs are not fancy, but would enable you to get a unit produced, and then build a production jig based off that. Let me know if you’re interested in renting the jig. I don’t know that I want to sell it out right as I still want the ability to do repairs on my junk if needed. 

  5. Look up the DASA TRex. They were the same set up, just branded FMF. They are a bit of a dated motor by today’s standards, but they definitely ran decent. Hit up Tony Doukas Racing for any parts as he bought up the last of the T Rex inventory and makes some other parts.
