NN2 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 First, I'll give 2Strokespirit the credit for the coming up with the name of this bike.

NN2 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Now if someone can post the pics without having to leave HQ that would be great. Not sure how to do that yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Madd Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Good luck! Those are the first pics I've seen showing how to mount a Banshee engine in that chassis. I was wanting to do that with my old YFZ, but have no fabrication skills and no pics to go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shogs Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'd love to try a yfzr shee. Good luck with your build hopefully when you get it mounted up it will be smooth sailing. As for the mounts, who needs em? Use this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 So this is another one? What was the one I saw pics of a few days ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NN2 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 A member on here named "Airtite" built one of these. I believe he had a stock banshee motor. From what I know, his is working pretty good. There are pics of his on here and he also has an online album somewhere of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
