kevo Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 hey guys im new and i just bought my first banshee,i bought it with a bad engine and has set for years,i want to put a r6 engine in it,i have been into drag racing all my life and wanted to do something new,we have no legal places to ride around here so im going for a banshee for the curvy mountain roads.anyway does anyone have any spec sheets or knowledge of doing this,i have already bought a bike Quote
LS1Inferno Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 Been dont many times, ours is a ZX9R and its set up for dunes. Didn't take too long to do but i suggest do you suspension mods first, that way you can line up the chain and shit. Our motor sits a litttle to low and as the suspension moves it lets the chain so slack that it skips teeth on the rear. The tank is under the seat. It is make of about 1/3 of a steel jerry can. Like i said this has been dont a lot and would be SICK on the streets just get its low but not too low for the weight, throw a sway bar on it and some short shocks and it should be nice I honestly for the streets wouldn't even extend the swinger. Being low should keep it on the ground Quote

Banshee_Bandit Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 i plan on lowering it,it came with som nice stuff im going to put on ebay except for the rear axle it is a +r durablue,the front shocks are works that i am selling to get shorter ones,my engine is actually a zx6r,i cant wait to see how shee drifts For lowering I suggest the stocker Shocks off a R6 or even a R1, they perform great believe me !!! Banshee sits low as hell and its is affordable compared to some other lowering shocks... Give it a shot you won`t be dissapointed bro Kind regards, Ed Quote
