Mjv420 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) Hello HQ. Ive been thinking of something. Im toying with the idea of wanting a streetbike so I can go riding with a couple friends. I dont want to buy into one of the new 4t bikes really, but i would like something with updated suspension and something more current than buying an older smoker ( but thats definetely an option also) I know there was a person here i believe at one time that took a newer steetbike chassis and reworked it to accept the RZ/banshee motor. I would think a 600cc chassis would be ideal. I think this motor would be a perfect 2 stroke platform due to the power potential compared to say a 500cc single cylinder. I just want to discuss and hear some thoughts on the subject, I am not able to fabricate custom parts but i do have people that could. Would i be able to get a bike like this legalized/past emmissions? Thanks guys, I think this would be a really sick project, let me know your thoughts and opinions.

Snopczynski Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) Would i be able to get a bike like this legalized/past emmissions? Not likely. You can probably buy a bike that will be faster and more reliable for less money than it would cost to retrofit a chassis.

711jrp Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 That sort of thing is still quite popular over here in the UK. Try googling yammagamma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STINKYDELUXE Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I've thought about putting the new 800 ski doo engine in a chopper with a 3" belt drive, 6 speed tranny and a 300 back tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruko Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 When I was in at the local pipe builder a couple years ago he had one there that he was making pipes for. I believe it was an R6 chassis with an RZ350 engine... it looked pretty cool, but I haven't seen or heard anything about it since. I have thought of doing the same... maybe with a Cheetah or some thing. I would think for the street you would want power valves to smooth it out.. although the old RD350 didn't have any...

I have a bottom end that i have yet to part with from a banshee. I would image id definetely want the RZ trans instead though, for the motor i think a stroked cheetah would be appropriate.
