In 1986 I was doing a donut with my ATC 250R and it grabbed throwing me off balance and the full weight and momentum of the trike and me onto my left knee. Fortunately I didn't break anything but almost 20 years later, I still have the messed up knee. I was good at riding ATC but the fact is the 2 wheels in back concept is difficult to handle. You also have the problem with the straight axle which would most likely have to be changed to one with a differential. The Blaster is already in my garage and I do have 2 complete RZ engines on the shelf and having a single rear drive wheel is more stable and eliminates the hassles with the differential. It can still be licensed as a motorcycle and could easily be made streetable. The ones shown are not the best looking, there are better. Mine would probably look worse but It's an idea I've been toying with for a long time.

I'd have to make something that looked better than that. The one with the truck tires on it is just way too much.

I've got a Blaster with a blown engine and I was thinking of making it a low riding street ATV but I was wondering a few things. Are there any enduro style tires {on/off road} that will fit a streetbike {like an R6} rear wheel? Does anyone know where I can look at pics of such bikes? I know there was a guy that used to come to the HQ who lived in Puerto Rico who had a street Banshee that was lowered but had 4 wheels. So far I'm thinking I will never find a way to do an ATV with 4 wheels so I'll to 3 and make it streetable.

That is a good deal. My banshee was total'd out too and I never missed a day of riding. You can always sell off the salvagable parts and get your money back.

No need to buy new innards unless the old innards are all worn out. Re-use the caps and the sleeves.

I'm pretty sure I have some. I'll send you an email.

Can we make this one stick so we don't have to suffer with the "what oil is the best" posts every 15 minutes???

I was an usher at a wedding once. The best man passed out during the ceremony a few minutes before he was supposed to give the groom the ring. The people in the front row saw him start to wobble so 2 of the guys got up and put an arm under each of his arms and carried him out. The guy on the video camera panned to the left so none of it was on film and when they got him to the back of the room, I took the ring out of his pocket and walked back up the aisle and stood in his place. The camera panned back right and all was well. The funny thing was the bride and groom didn't know what happened until I handed the groom the ring. Oh and the guy that passed out was black so on the video it's like... what happened to the best man and who is that white guy !?!?!? Best thing to do is know what the bride and groom want {after all it's their wedding}, stand up straight, look people in the eye and firmly but compassionately show them to their assigned seats. The rest is a cake walk.

The only way the Raptor rear rims will not fit a Banshee is if the Banshee is an 89/90 with original hubs or has those hubs or Blaster hubs. The majority of the Banshees ever made have the same bolt pattern as the Raptor.

Send me an email... I'd like more details [email protected]

I ride only trails and some of them are so rough they are at a crawl and I would STILL run the T5's. You will get used to using them down low and nothing beats the rush of opening it up and really getting some speed. The way I see it, you will never wish you had more low and always wish you had more top. When you have the front end stuck down in some ditch the last thing you want is for it to kick into the power band too early. The Banshee is never gonna be a mountain goat and the T5's will do just fine for trails. It's a huge disappointment to get to the dunes and wish you had a little more ummf on top and if you get low end pipes, that's exactly what will happen.

I'd do a leak down test first. Just to make sure you don't have a more serious problem.

yes they will

Stator failure should not cause just one cyl to act up. The coil fires on both wires at the same time so check your plugs, boots and spark plug wires. I had a similar problem with mine and it turned out to be a spark plug boot. Got a bunch of fine grit in there and wore out the contact with the top of the plug. It would only fire some times and almost never when it was damp out. I got 2 new boots and a foot of new plug wire for under $15 from the dealer and problem solved.

can you send me some of those pics a little bit bigger? Did they come with pivot bushings? Does the guy manufacture them or were they a "one of" project?... [email protected] thanks

Send me pics... I'm banned from bluetraxx. [email protected]

Miller stuck mine on real good for bout a couple days and then the crank and the flywheel was no good. So don't take it to Lincoln, Miller, Hobart or any other such places.

I've got one with about 20 holes in it. Take the box off and throw it away and put outer wears on your clamp-ons or 2:1 filter.

need any trades full or partial?

You can ship it thru Greyhound for around $60 even if it's in the midwest. I shipped a frame with an axle and carrier strapped to it for around $70 from Chicago to Sacremento CA. Making a box was the hardest part

All Pro could have carved that out of a solid chunk of aluminum with his dremel for under $500 and all just by eyeballing it. I don't know what you guys are talking about tools and all. All you need is a little skill and creativity

I avoid it whenever possible. Ever machine I've ever had has never run right after I truly went mudding so if it leads to down time, it ain't worth it to me.

Well I got me one of them new fangled high tech digital calipers that is made in an unknown country by unknown workers with no trademark and the only name on it is Stainless Hardened. The best caliper $20 {shipped} can buy Anyway... I got my diagrams done and they look like something off the space shuttle. So if anyone wants to try and make a couple of these, that would be great. I can fax 'em or email the pics I took of the diagrams. Thanks again... only on the HQ could something like this happen. Email... [email protected]
