  5. Banshee is a classic now and open to new builds.

    Why would you put all this time and effort into building a stock frame one off chassis? 



    He said he’s building 50, so it wouldn’t be one off. But I get what you’re saying.

    There is no reason to copy a terribly designed ugly stock frame. Do something that hasn’t been done before, otherwise, what’s the point?

    I think you’re going to realize very quickly that the price you had in mind, isn’t feasible. And with that, your market is going to drop out. Just my opinion.

    Yes DDQ, I have looked at the yfz conversions. There just isint the room for what I am after. I try to keep in my head that there are people who are going to want to stuff bigger motors and bigger pipes in the Frame. That kind of knocks the 450 out of the conversation. Its even shorter than the 250R.



    There is a member here who put a 611DM in a yfz ( I believe it was a yfz). Absolutely anything is possible if you have the knowledge/time/money to do so.

    Anyone spending $14k out the door is going to want something that looks unlike anything else out there. Building a stock frame lookalike is IMO a bad idea. Build something that looks cool.

    I bought a set of +3+1 a arms from them in early 2000.

    The upper and lower heims are worn out and need replacement.

    I cant seem to find these guys to order replacement parts.

    Are they still around?

    Anyone know where I can find new upper and lower heims or ball joints that will fit this a arm or am I out of luck?

    Thanks in advance, Peter

     

    Did you google American Star Racing?

    I want to build a banshee to drag race on streets, just a regular looking bike with shocks and all, I want it to be a sleeper. Any tips on which type of motor and crank etc, I don’t want to run alcohol, just maybe 110 race gas. I tried getting in touch with Nate McCoy but no luck, please help

     

    If you have FB get in touch with Turbo Chassis, or call this number. He builds probably some of the best chassis street racers out there and can direct you to a good motor builder for that as well.

    My banshee just got a full engine rebuild and has a new athena 392 big bore kit on it. It starts up fine I have to pull in the choke and give it a little throttle and it'll start up in a couple kicks. The problem is it is leaking gas after a couple minutes of running. Sometimes I can hear it about to turn off and I give it gas and it stays on. i am pretty new to banshees and I don't know what to do. The shop says I need new carbs since these are worn out.

    Probably need new needle valves and adjust the floats. This is a 10 minute total process. Anyone with a screw driver and ruler can do it
