dajogejr Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Very nice Brandon. Just goes to show you...this is how debates and discussions should be done...no name calling, just facts and opinions from experience mixed in. Funny you should mention the bearing on the drum. Whitaker is doing that...and since my engine is being torn down, checked, freshened up and ported, I'm putting a drum that has been machined and a bearing put on it. I've never had a shifting issue with my bike...but this certainly is a mod that has ZERO down sides. I agree...there is a long shift throw for the banshee trans... You can get a little shorter shifter to help a little. Some guys with drag frames or relocated foot pegs (located further rearward) cut and weld shorter shifters as well. I can 100% see your point in offering this for bikes/models with no overrides being offered from them....or...pavment guys with smaller motors that need all 6 gears. Currently...full 6 speed overrides are offered...but are still very temperamental. And this is a helluva lot easier and less expensive than override straight cut gears...etc. Edited December 16, 2008 by dajogejr Quote
dragbanshee Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Posted December 16, 2008 Nothing more irritating that having over 100HP and getting beat down by a 350 bike because you cannot shift.... Brandon Got that right! I have no where near that HP and got beat a few times because my bike not shifting to 4th and 5th. The 2 times it did, I walked on them; built yfz, 450r and 700s. Quote
FireHead Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 I'm not debating....really, I'm discussing. And as always...I value your input and thoughts. Pot stirrer......... :biggrin: Quote

BellicoseBanshee Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 The modified shift drums are very nice and not very expensive either... :thumbsup: Quote

FireHead Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Yep...http://www.w-c-r.com/contact%20us.htm WCR is rad, but just incase these guys are closer to you, try googling Yakkey or PM bansh-eman on here (he knows how to spell Yakkey). :cool: Quote
