making dmc 916's working on pre 89 banshee

Definitely not CPI. And your rear subframe is definitely bent down. The rear 16" should be almost perfectly straight. This is a CPI. Notice that the 1st seam is a lot farther down the pipe than yours. Also, CPI stingers are not bent tubing. They are made of straight pieces of tubing welded together. And those aren't CPI silencers.

I wouldn't doubt the frame is bent a little the guy who owned the bike before beat it two hell but i got a hell of a deal. Well i can rule out CPI's but any idea what kind they can be?? Tbh they are in dame good shape and beastly. To be honest for 125 i couldn't go wrong with them dude.

looking at it now, it can see what your saying dude. Any ideas for tweaking that sub frame up a little?

i believe u will have to move the wiring harness down for ur stator plugin to reach ne way so just reroute it and eliminate the issue with it hitting the stinger tube

I went back and looked through your posts. I remember when you posted pics of your 3 wheelers. Some of the nicest 3 wheelers I have seen in a long time.

 

I have no doubt that your Banshee is going to be just as nice. I would try to straighten that subframe before you put it all back together. Anchor the frame down near the footpegs somehow and then use a jack and wood blocks to raise the back of the subframe. You might be able to put a 2 X 12 through the frame and drive a car on the board on each side or something. Get creative. It's no good the way it is. It's a gradual bend that should straighten out nicely. Worst case, it breaks off and then you cut it and weld on a new piece.
