ionroller Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Started a project of putting a 2001 fuel injected GSXR 1000 in a banshee frame. I have my fuel tank under the seat and when my suspension is fully compressed my tank will just about touch the brake caliper! I am 200lb and the motor is at least 100 pounds if not more, so the suspension sags a little with just the weight of the engine. What I really need is a shock 1-2 inches longer so it bottoms before the tank hits something! Ill get some pics up asap of this beast. Its 165HP !!!

So Cal Suspension Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Has anyone weighed one of these conversion bikes? My guess would be an added 60lbs+, in otherwise stock trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STINKYDELUXE Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I would relocate the top mount so the shock is going more up right it will make it stiffer and you could adjust the height at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Look at a Polaris Outlaw or Predator, one has remote resi. No clue if it would work with linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ionroller Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 and will still get beat by a banshee motor It would take a hell of a banshee motor My banshee in my sig is not even a challenge. The 1000 has arm ripper torque and revs out forever, oh and fuel injected works like a dream FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1000 has arm ripper torque and revs out forever, oh and fuel injected works like a dream FYI. It only revs to 9500 RPM, FYI. Less than a banshee. They were about 160hp new, I bet an older motor would be lucky to squeeze out 140... That being said, I bet with your added weight, a 421 cub and a halfway decent rider would walk all over it... Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ionroller Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Ill tell you what it would take 150 hp/450lb * 400lb =133.33hp it would take a 133.33hp banshee to be even. And the redline doesn't even start untill 12500 rpm and pulls to 13500 fyi to your fyi to me! Just my 3 cents to the haters.

Power: 160.00 HP (116.8 kW)) @ 9500 RPM 130hp Banshee? Since when is a banshee 400lbs? In 100% STOCK TRIM they are only 386lbs. Lose the 40lb pipes, and you're looking at about 365 once you bolt on aftermarket ones. By your own formula, it'd take 121.66HP, nothing real special, and you could dune it. BUT, just my opinion.
