In the end, isn't owning a banshee about spending obscene amounts of money on parts we really don't need?
Who NEEDS an Outlaw frame? Who NEEDS a DM? Who Needs half of the shiney shit we blow money on?
Clean carbs, clean/rebuild petcock, replace choke tube, delete TORS and parking break, new brake pads, grease all pivot points, lube chain, new swing arm pivot bearings, new fluids, fresh plugs, and clean and dialectric grease every plug.
Blaster, raptor 250, or one of the 400 thumpers from Honda or Kawi/Zuki. You can put her on a banshee but they don't handle well and beat you up a bit if the suspension isn't done. If you are serious about wanting her to enjoy it, make sure she is on a comfortable ride.
You really made one before? Whip one up again.
IMO, if some one is capable of making one that is worth a damn, they would need to make it with some kind of tooling. How did you do it before?
For what tooling? I got a stash of adjustable fixtures in my old mans garage. If you had one before it shouldn't be much trouble to tool one up. Are you welding on the jug at all? The fixture only does a small portion of the work. Getting the thing open beyond the size of the drill bit is the time consuming part.
