i think like 20 -25 pics of mounts and stuff.

 

So now that I love the yfzshee I'll add a respectible set of pipes to it and drag race k&n pods under the seat. ill look for a good sterring dampener too.

wheres the yes, it'll handle better than a banshee with any kind long travel shocks or standard shocks option?

If you ride one thats done nice not only is it smooth but with equal riders it ill kick the crap out of a yfz. Sweetest bike iv ever rode

Well a top of the line banshee long travel (15.00 F shock) vs stock yfz(14.25 F shock)

Most people would just stay with what they got. But if are going to upgrade your banshee to long travel you might just do the frame swap. My long travel for yfz was brand new on craigs list for about 600.00 . My old banshee parts sold for about the the same.

 

But the cost of the swap was like buying long travel because I don't have a welder

I've always wanted to do this build. I love the YFZ looks but hate 4 strokes.

I think a banshee motor is ten times more fun.

Im thinking about buying the one that is for sale and selling my yfz roller. My ltr is to wide for some the trails i ride in but i love the power.

What I did for flattracking was use the upper and lower arms and hubs and brakes and tie rods on my 03 frame with stock shee shocks. Lighter all around but lowered also. It worked well for what I was doing. No complaints. And the duel piston calipers worked a ton better to slow er down . Just my two cents fellas

When I first built my Yfzshee I got the lt arms but had only stock shocks 14.25 and it sat like a tt setup so for my first run I made a 2.5 shock spacer to help the factory shock get closer to ride hight. Now I got new yfz450r shocks(18.25).

This coming Tuesday and wensday will be its first real trip to glamis. I should have the contour hd camera setup for some footage.

Wow big improvement. Be sides 10x better going over sand rail ruts and bumps. When I hill climb the down shift doesnt lift the wheels any more I belive it is because the engine sit forward more so I can put down more hp with out wheelies or lifting the throttle. I really like the way the frame goes threw whoops.

 

Down sides are air filter system and the stingers melted my new boots really bad( fixable)

And the chain pops off. I think the rear sprocket is crap ( the alingment is good )

 

I'm going to add tabs to mount a banshee style chain guide.

the air filter I'm going to get a remote resi style rear shock and then make twin intake tubes to mount drag pods under the seat.

 

I'll post up my contourhd video later, editing is new to me and takes forever to do.
