Overdose Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 OK well I figure now that my project is rolling it's time to start my build thread. Well up until about two weeks ago I owned a very nice pair of banshee's (93,94) both had typical bolt ons nothing fancy. Long story short sold both of them to fund this build and build a new motor for the wifes buggy. I didn't really know what I wanted for an end goal at the time but just knew that I wanted something that would wheelie on command and smoke some 4 pokes. And so it began. I was kicking around the idea of building a 10mil cub when the oppertunity to own a twister setup arised and I said what the heck sound like fun lets try it. and here it is. This is actually an older picture of it and yes it needs polished bad but I will post up some better pics once I get it polished and the new goodies on it. Now for the specs: 4mil 465cc Twister Ported by Kevin at HJR, Aggressive dune port Port matched cases cut trany, with the normal goodies Billet basket, Straight cut gears Direct drive lockup and cover 33 PWK's getting setup for Alky this week V force 3 reeds Billet intakes Shearer small bores inframes +4 chrome Ladder swingarm I'm going to the dunes on easter weekend so we decided to put it together so I could try it out and see where the bugs are then tear it back down and adjust what needs to be adjusted. Yesterday it all started has a pile of parts and now its a rolling chassis. It's going well I have all the rest of thaparts ordered that I was missing has aof last night. It won't be pretty but it should run well for easter. Once I get back r=from the easter trip I'll work on making it look nice.One of the neatest think on this build is that 90% of all the parts in it were from Banshee HQ members. So thanks to these members for helping me out with getting the parts for this build. Big Red 350x without his spare parts pile there would be no rolling chassis so thanks a ton Jared!

ClayAiken Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Man when you were talking about your build in the shoutbox i didnt think it would be somthing this big. Thats an interesting motor choice but it should be a runner. Good luck with the rest of the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overdose Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 OK here are some more pics of the build in progress Ive got the plastic just setting on the frame for looks nothing is painted or bolted down so yes it looks pretty crappy right now but It will be nice once its all finished up. Direct drive lock up with straight cuts nice pic of the intake port Pwk 33mm converted to alcohol just waiting for the billet bowls There it is almost ready for a shake down before getting torn down again for paint polish and a shave. the rest of the parts should be here thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cline Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Damn you move quick. I seen a couple weeks back when you sold your other two bikes and started talking about a new build. Had no idea you'd be up and running this quick. Well it looks as if it gonna do what you want it to, "wheelie on command and smoke 4 pokes." Have fun with that, looks like it will be a blast.

What's it take to get one of those? Could use one at my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 What's it take to get one of those? Could use one at my house. You just have to live in the same town as someone with WAY too many banshee parts laying around. I didn't even realize I had an entire rolling chassis sitting in a pile behind my compressor. He came over and was like "can I have that?" and I was just happy to have it all out of the way in my shop. Now poof there is a 4mil small-block twister sitting in my shop. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed350x Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Ah the good ol days. Wish I had half a bike sittin in the back of my shop. An extra one anyway Truth be told I probably have another whole bike hiding in there. I've got 2 more frames and some front suspension, rear dog-bone, 2 rear shocks, 2 steering stems, radiator, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
