Firemann32 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Ok I have everything to put together a rolling chassis and I've always wanted to do a sled motor in a shee for drags and plus I have a friend that has some nerve damage in his leg and he can't shift up so i though thata would be perfect for him too if he wants to join us at the dunes. I've been searching for info, best motor, best way, tips etc, but can't find anything. Anyone have any suggestions or know where to look? Quote
NYUK Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 unless you are really handy with metal fabrication, welding, snomo clutch set ups, jack shafts. i would suggest an air shifter for your friend. 90% of conversion quads end up on craigslist unfinished project. it seems simple enough to slap a streetbike motor or snomo motor in an atv frame. it is not.

Firemann32 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Posted May 21, 2012 Yep, got that all covered. My first thought was an air shifter but was sure how well they worked. Any tips on where to find a kit ir do i just need yo make one? Quote
BUILDER Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 You build a snomo bike for your buddy and the only thing he is going to be able to do is race. They are heavy as hell. It has been done a million times and it does work but they are ugly and heavy. The pingel air shifter works very well. I just saw a quad at Redline on friday that has one on it. The lady has a really screwed up ankle and she rides a yfz450 with a air shifter on it. Quote
Starwriter Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 There is also an electric solenoid type shifter. That would be a lot simpler. Quote
coryv4 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 ive seen some nice snomo banshees and a really nice snomo raptor not in person only in vids but it looks like a serious project....also not to jack your thread but i am curious as to how well and accurate the air shifters are on banshees is it kit specific or do they have to custom fab.
