wacko2000 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Posted November 4, 2011 So this topic seems to be becoming more and more popular. Id like to hear from the guys who have done this before, lets hear the pro and cons to this conversion. Im really curious on how this bike really performs with a banshee motor. Post up pics of your final product!! Joe Quote
camatv Posted November 4, 2011 Report Posted November 4, 2011 find my thread. then look at all the other "builds" decide for yourself. Quote
thomas h. Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) Check my gallery for pics. The long travel Yfz frame rides way smooth and more control doing wheelies , woops or jumps. I can feather the brakes way better. I think the rear shock setup act like a +2 swing arm on a banshee frame. I hope more people post their impression of the conversion. Best part is the look on four poke owers face when a banshee goes by. Cons cutting pipes to fit frame. Becarfull on your air filter choice I went with stock 450 air box with k&n and had a aluminum manifold made to use it. If you go with pods. Think about the rear mount and where the filters would stop. Also the stock tank is for drag racers. Desert tank is a must. Edited November 6, 2011 by thomas h. Quote

wacko2000 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Posted November 10, 2011 Ive been doing endless research on these projects, For the guys who have done these, what would you have done different? There has to be numerous things you would change if you were to build another one, if so what are they??? I cant tell you how curious i am on the weight difference from a YFZ and a YFZshee...

thomas h. Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 The radiator scoop plastic is melting so I wish the pipes cleared the scoop. Try to get the pipes out if the way of removing carbs and changing plugs. Plan on getting a desert tank because the size difference. Quote

wacko2000 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Posted November 16, 2011 sorry but i didnt receive the email I sent you a pm with my # Quote
camatv Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 did you read my thread yet? best thing to do is treat it like a real conversion. yes you need to actually change the frame to make it fit and LOOK right and work like it should. if not it just looks like cobbled up trash. yes i said that.

camatv Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 thats one of the ones that made me rethink how to do it.. Quote
