Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
So I guess I'll be fixing the clutch sooner than I thought lol.
As for sand and dunes, don't have much of that around here. What we do have is sand and dirt pits, so that'll be great in the summer. I just might go on a trip one day...
As for gas, I noticed that the banshee dosen't do great gas mileage, but tonight I'm going to replace the front bumper with a gas rack, to put a can in there. I made one for my friend's Z400 and it works great. I don't have a problem with material and machinery, I'm a project manager at a hydraulic/welding/fabricating/machining shop so I have all the machines I need.
Don't worry for search, not my first time on a board
P.S. if anyone needs them, i could send the blueprints for the rack and uploads pics of it.
