Need some input

[TeamRealtreeHD]

Guys, I am currently working slowly on building a banshee. My intentions of this bike are pretty strict.

 

I want to build a bike from the ground up, it will be all black, everything, from the cases, to the frame, to the plastics, to the carbs, pipes, etc.

 

I want it to be trail friendly. Something I can hop on, ride in the trails, and I want it to run on pump gas.

 

I also want it to be a sleeper. No bling. Just black. No lockout covers, no shiny pipes, no nothing. I will, however, run pod filters, aftermarket pipes, possibly a sligshot lockout, etc.

 

But it must be sleeper style.

 

My strict guidelines are as follows. It must be trail friendly, but on the same hand, I want it to still have top end. Enough to spank bolt on 4 strokes, enough to climb big hills, etc. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to run on this setup, but I know alot of guys on here have much more experience than me on building trail bikes that are capable of dragging still

 

I was thinking a dune port. Nothing more. Possibly a hot trail/MX port. More leaning towards top end.

 

I was thinking 19cc domes at 1300-1400 feet ASL

 

28 mm PWK'S with pod filters

 

Toomey T5 pipes painted black

 

Sligshot lockout, with a quality clutch

 

I was thinking a shift star mod should do it. Possibly 60-65 HP? Should be about right.

 

Any input on this build would be greatly appreciated. I don't want it to be non-trail friendly. I want this to be a bike I can go on miles of trails with and not feel beat up at the end of the day. My 421 cub is a handful for that. And stock bikes with pipes won't cut it dragging.

 

Thanks guys

What's up Dude???

Funny thing is, Im in the same boat as you, thinking about another bike.

All my buddy's banshee are so trail friendly, and mine is not. I have ridden a few bikes that are ported with pro circuits and they are truely unbelievable trail bikes, power everywhere, so smooth and snappy. I was ridding my boys banshee all day today, aggressive trail port with worm holes, single 35 carb, procircuits,150psi stock reeds and the bike is so impressive, it was showing up some solid bikes today. I think a dune port wouldn't be as smooth and snappy in the tight trails as lets say a hot mx port would be.

2 of my riding buddys are rocking pro circuits/ aggressive trail port/ single 35 and dual 33's. Both bikes have amazing bottom end and mid range and pull very well up top, I would say that the bike with the 33's pulls harder up top..

 

My first ported setup was; hot mx port,T5s,v-force reeds,150 psi, stock carbs and it was nothing like these bike, the T5s come on so much later than the pro circuits, it was not as trail friendly as these bikes im speaking of, I would say that it was mainly the pipes.

 

I would say, dont get to wild on the porting, hot mx port/aggressive trail port, 28-30's,150psi and +4 and I wouldn't do T5s for a trail bike.

You'll have yourself a solid running sleeper, and you'll still be able to climb hills and put it down on the 4pokers.

I am looking to use a stock cylinder setup. I don't want people knowing whats going on with this bike. I am afraid aftermarket cylinders will blow my lead

I don't want to run Drag pipes, but also don't want to run full out bottom pipes. I would aim at more top than bottom, but don't want it to be light switchy
