Well...now we know what you have to do to be able to sell a Honda cruiser. Drop a Yamaha motor in it. "Ride Red"........ till the need for speed overpowers you and you find yourself morphing Banshee motors into the frame rails. (you know how that goes right Loco?) Hey give some credit.....at least now that machine requires the rider Kick Start It. Most Harley's don't even require that anymore.

Post RPM on bottom of dyno runs....otherwise people are going to ask why this motor is only capable of running to 70 MPH, then falls on it's face.

Well....with it being a fresh rebuild....could it just be crazy wet with assembly oil? I oil every moving part before it goes together, so it's got ALOT of oil in it when it first fires up. I'll sometimes foul a plug while I'm breaking in the motor or in the first 1/2 hour of riding. Or are you talking after a number of hours of riding?

I'm betting on a loose flywheel.

Ok....so you know who your going to offer to ell those to then.

Contact kybansheeman and swap. He's asking the mirror question of yours in this same section.

My 96 Chevy didn't have any bed hooks either....so I bought some stainless door handles (Like your cabinets have ) for up in the front of the bed and found some toolbox handles for the area in back of the bed and they have worked great for 10 years. (I found everything I needed at Home Depot.) I got the two different styles because I measured the size of the structural metal that was available to mount brackets to, and those two designs had holes at the right points needed.

Really? And just what will you be needing to do to the bottom? Planning on washing the mud off it? 2 days to do a set of jugs? Did you play a lot of football? Did anyone ever think to give you a helmet? VW forum WTF? Why would we know anything about a VW forum......we're into HP here. Did they razz you off that site too?

Cam you and I are now forever friends in my book. I use that phrase daily! Best movie ever! "He broke my watch" I go to Taco bell and they ask "what can I get you today"? I start with "4 fried chickens and a Coke...and some dry white toast." Place an order at a supply house....I add 4 fried chickens at the end. (It's funny to watch them look at the computer screen trying to think of the part numbers for a "Fried chicken"....then it hits them. I finally showed that movie to my 10 year old son this past winter and at the end as the cops are rolling in he says "Wouldn't it be funny if the army showed up"....I said "Wait for it".....then he laughs and says it would be funny if they had tanks......wait for it.....helicopters.....He called it all and about peed himself when 5 seconds later it would appear. My kids just had a blast...it was like they interactively wrote the ending.

Yeah, it'll sound like it's got a turbo!

Long 2X4. Stand on frame at point where your seat sits. Stick 2X4 through the hoop and down towards the bottom front of the frame and use it as a lever. Might not even need any heat if it's only off by a little.

I offered up the Evinrude suggestion because I want to see an outboard motor rigged into an ATV. Besides...we've seen any number of crazy motors dropped into a banshee frame for no understandable reason......why not an outboard motor? OOOOOOO Maybe he could drop a Blaster motor in it with a 240 big bore kit and drift that.

He wants 7+ years on a piston and good gas mileage. Not every build has to be about adding HP. A 4 mill won't fit his needs. He's looking for supreme reliability as the #1 feature.

Moustafa No if your drifting you want the Evinrude in the framerails. Is this kind of dumb shit what Blaster owners do for fun? I guess when the bike is as lame as a blaster.............you have to get your jollies some other way. We wouldn't have to deal with this nonsense if your parents were exercising the parental controls on your computer. If they set you back to a G rating, we wouldn't be seeing your really lame posts.

I'd say to hone the cylinders or bore them for a fresh surface, then put the vito's pistons in and save up for a cool head from Noss. Then jet that baby fat and go rip it.

X2 under 2000 or pass. Plenty of shees out there. those parts don't work well together anyway. But....it is blue and has those killer matching shock covers to hide the blown out leaking stock front shocks.

You can rig up something.....but it might end up looking and working like it's rigged. KOSO

I'm guessing that your frame has the classic banshee cartwheel damage of a bent stem mount. (Hoop that comes up from the frame to mount radiator and stem.) It's kinda common to see those bent back into the tank a little if the bike went for a loop. Otherwise, lay the stem on a flat table or bench and roll it to see if it has a crown to it.

Brandon, cut him some domes while your at it. Might help with the blown O-rings.

What would you suggest? Maybe some David Lee Roth style inspired ride gear with Assless chaps. Maybe a custom embroidered Jack Daniels seat cover to match Mike's custom Base. AND WHITE WHEELS with red hubs and chrome lug nuts!

Yep and a whopping 36-38 HP. Everyone has a different need for their machine. If you like how it runs and don't want to join the HP chase.......stick with the way it is. It's like my kids Raptor 80's those will survive long enough for my kids future children to ride. Keep it stock and you'll get 500+ hours on a piston as well as your clutch. Plus you can get away with only changing tranny fluid every other year/decade. LOL But if your going to move into the 60+HP club....your going to be replacing parts and choosing not to replace them with stock stuff. We had a bone stock banshee with a fresh top end on the dyno last year. We dropped one jet size from factory and pulled a top HP number of 39. (highest stock I've ever heard of.) Then he put Pro circuits on it and we took it to the dunes. I got to take it for a spin. 12 gear changes later I dropped it back off. Felt like a stock blaster compared to our 60-100 HP machines. But he had fun all day and that's all that matters. HP is like SEX. Once you make it to home plate....your never going to be happy with just feeling somebody up. LOL.

Loose the stock swing arm and carrier for sure, as well as the front brake dust guards, get nicer wheels and ditch those stockers, get a wider axle with an aluminum drive and brake hub, chromoly A-arms if they are in the budget, strip ignition switches and keys and just go with a tether, remove complete TORS system, ditch the air box assembly, then eat less cheeseburgers. If you get desperate....don't forget to fill your tires with helium.

Yeah I saw you got your stuff and I know Dan does very nice work, but in the past MANY people were having trouble getting a hold of him. (He had a few different phone numbers) I remember Damian was having trouble getting him to answer even when Dan gave him a "special" number to call. Glad to hear he's back to cranking out the Hot Motor builds. (Your alky bike is going to run like a raped ape!)
