Its solid. I work at a custom bike shop at the we have the DOT dude in all the time checking bikes we build to tag them for us..he checked it out and nothing came up. No title, but the only state around here that technically requires one is South Dakota, and thats only for road use.

Dang, I thought I posted them! Here they are (By the way, this is just what I was told that the port job most likely is, so I put in the quarter for reference, if any of you pros out there think they are something different, PLEASE let me know! Thanks!)

Ok, well I just confirmed that I am buying a set of cases (without the chain break) a hot rods 4 mil, welded, and most of the bottom end for like 600. So I will base the rest of my build off the bottom end once its buttoned up. I figured I would do the better shifter/modded shift star and a nicer clutch with all new seals on the bottom. The top end I will get some cylinders mx/trail ported. I am going to talk to FAST about maybe getting it sorted out. I will be ready to buy my top end in a week or two.

I am looking to trade these cylinders, which look like they might be a dune port for an aggressive trail port set. They come with Namura pistons, I would also like to get some v force reeds...I'd swap the boyesen reeds. Let me know what you have! Thanks, Chris 712-899-6473

Ok I was told these are drag ported, probably more of a dune/mild drag port. I am selling these because the port job doesn't fit my riding needs. The pictures have the details. I will say $350obo. You can text me at 712-899-6473, thanks! -Chris

Awesome, thanks again! Yeah I expect to put some money into it, nothing new to me. If I could find some blueprints to make a rear swingarm I could easily do it myself and save some money. I have a lathe, mill, TIG welding, Pipe bender, all that good stuff. I am going to order some specialty tools, what do I absolutely need and which one would be best out of the several brands? ( I would imagine some have more functions then others (left and or right hand threads, etc.)

Awesome man, I looked around on there and he really does have everything I need! Haha, I am glad I joined up here, usually people don't respond with much help on other forums, but you guys kick ass! I've got some cash saved up but I am going to wait a couple weeks, this will give me time to get the motor apart and figure out exactly what I need...then I will just try to make one big order. Based on my riding, which includes a bit of everything...sand, dirt, trails, water, mud, do you guys think I should sell these cylinders and grab something stock or with a more mild port? I would be open to trades! Also, I would like to get an airbox. I am going to stick with the stock carbs, just eliminate the TORS and clean rebuild them

Does anyone know where I can get a good seal/gasket kit? Also where is a good place to order the speciality tools? Thanks again for all the help everyone! Can't wait to get this thing done!

Yeah I know I should have cleaned it up, honestly the way this guy had this thing rigged together, I think I will be good in splitting the cases and adding new seals. I mean I already have it out and the quad is almost tore down completely (going to have the frame blasted, check all the welds, add some brackets to relocate the cdi and regulator and I would like to get an airbox back on it) Is there any good way to check the serials on the cylinders to see if they are CT? My pistons measure 64.5ish and the cylinders measure 64.98 and I know that the piston can be like .06mm smaller then the bore right? Oh yeah, the oil looked TERRIBLE in this thing too. These are Namura pistons and honestly I think I would like to run Wiseco forged. The ignition set up looks like it hit or melted a bit on the pick-up? Replace it? Basically for the motor here is my plan, based on what I have learned from you guys so far! 1) Get the cylinders checked for roundess - Bore or hone them if needed and Wiseco piston kit 2) New head (coolhead?) 3) TORS eliminator and new clutch/throttle cables 4) Airbox, intake, carb boots 5) Open bottom end, check it out... and replace all the seals 6) Install adjustable timing plate, since it came with the bike anyway 7) Replace ignition? Like I said, I am going to keep it as simple as I can, but I don't want to half-ass it, especially since its already apart. I will build a nice, reasonable bottom end with new seals and all that good stuff.

First off, thanks to GINGER for posting up some suggestions and to everyone else for helping me out. I have some pictures to post up here and hopefully that might help with some more suggestions. I saw some anti-freeze in the left exhaust when I took it off, and as I got the top end off I noticed the pistons seemed to have a lot of free play and some odd wear on the skirts. SO, I am for sure just going to tear her all down, replace the seals and get some proper machine work done. Ok here it is so far: Seems to be a lot of play in the cylinders, I don't have my calipers yet so I cant really measure them I'm thinking it was infact milled down, but it looks like a piston or plug let loose a time or two The crank looks alright and the rods look like they're in good shape (the pictures makes it looks like rust, but its more of a bronze looking material) I found a CT in the cylinders... Here is the port, what does it look like to you guys? Here are the reeds, can anyone identify them, they look like a quality set at least, yeah? Can anyone identify these A arms? I need new bushings at the very least...and if they are crap, I might just get a new set Lucky for me, as a student, my school is paid for by the military and I collect my GI Bill. I also have a cash job that I work, building custom handlebars for choppers and all that, so I THINK I can get this thing built up properly, but I would like to keep it budget minded. I do plan on doing suspension after its all together.

They are FMF Fatty pipes. I haven't ridden it, honestly its to cold around here and the swingarm and sprockets NEED replaced (plus the oil leak and coolant leak). So, since its winter and I have a garage that stays at a nice 65-70 degrees, I am going to rip into this thing and hopefully turn out a nice respectful banshee that doesn't look like its been repaired with bubblegum and tape!

Thanks I will do that! If they are drag ported, maybe I can find someone into a trade on here?

I am thinking I will just tear into it and see what I have in there, I will post some pictures up when I get it apart and maybe you guys can help me identify what I have and point in me in a good direction for a nice mx type build instead of a drag build. (I decided to just tear it apart because after sitting in my garage I noticed oil under it as well as antifreeze up front) My buddy has a carb sync tool and that will be done anyway after I do the build up. Anything wrong with sticking with the orignial carbs? I need new cables anyway

Oh yeah, free because I traded some stuff that I never used and was just wasting space in my garage...that kind of free, not stolen free, haha.

Yeah I plan on picking up a flywheel puller and tearing into this thing to make sure the engine is up to snuff..maybe change some stuff I am not feeling comfortable about. What do the stock bore diameters measure? I ask, so I can measure these and see if they are infact bored or not, I know pistons are usually stamped, but still, doesn't mean it was done properly. I think I know what you are saying about the TORS...Is it those nasty looking boxes on the top of the carbs in this picture? I heard... get rid of them! How do I do that? I am not sure of the carb size, but they look pretty stock to me. Thanks for the reply! I hope to get some more feedback and I will be adding to this as progress is made, I might fabricate some stuff (that I have in mind) to clean up where some things are mounted that I dont really like...so I'll document that too!

Ok, so I just got this Banshee, I was used for some type of racing, I am not sure what type, but this thing is rough! Thankfully I got a good deal on it (didn't cost me a dime) SO now I would like to go through it. The kid I got it from claimed these were just done and the motor is fresh with only a few heat cycles on it. Boysee pro series reeds CT Racing drag ported cylinders milled head (30 thousants) ajustable timing plate fmf fatty gold exhaust white brothers boost bottle Namara high compression pistons After tearing into the chasis a bit, I noticed that this thing is beat up, the rear swing arm is bent for sure and looks like someone did a crappy home weld job on it to maybe extend it. This being said, I would really dig it if you guys could point my in the right direction as far as what I plan to do. I do a good mix of sand, dirt, woods, etc. not going to be dragging seriously or anything First off I am would like to get a NEW swing arm for this thing, aftermarket would be great, but price does matter. I was thinking a +2 This may be easier, if anyone has some good ideas, just copy and paste this and add what you BUDGET minded builders would do! (Engine is open to whatever you would do, lets just assume the top and bottom end need redone) Rear Swing Arm (+2) - Front A Arms (and bushings?) - Handlebars - Levers - Cables - Clutch/Basket - Front/Rear sprocket - Plastics front/rear - Intake (and rubbers for the carbs, these were GLUED together!) - Carb (kits and/or mods for stock carbs) - Engine, bottom end - Engine, top end - Exhaust (Rebuild silencers?) - I'll post more pictures as I get more progress! Thanks guys, I dig the site a ton. (Yes, I already have a manual and I am mechanically compitent and a skilled fabricator...just new to these beasts and want to get what I can from the "experts")
