mysterion Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 You can also mod the stock plate...its pretty easy and doesn't take much time. There is a write up pinned somewhere Quote
GermanBanshee Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Posted January 14, 2014 Thx guys! in my opinion the stock bumper is the nicest bumper of all. Normally we in germany must have a number plate at the front bumper. But that sucks!!! I am riding always without number plate at the front. I am ready with frame and body parts mods. What you can see in the pictures is my dream of a banshee The only one that i want is to build a motor with more power. Thats my mission!!! But thats not street legal complete. Ok the wheels and tires are street legal. But the other mods, for example exhaust, shocks , bigger carbs, air filters etc. is not street legal and its very expensive if you will find someone ( in germany its the TÜV ) to make this street legal and the mods are write in the papers of the ATV. And i dont have any contact with cops until now!!! Quote
tdod101 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Fuck the cops, just do what this guy did: Quote
GermanBanshee Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Posted January 14, 2014 Yes, thats the best banshee vid on youtube!!!! Cop: Its a yellow Yamaha Banshee!!!! Quote
oldskool Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Your banshee looks awesome with those tires/wheels Quote
tdod101 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Is the banshee popular there ? Where do you find that one and how much did you pay ? Quote
GermanBanshee Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Posted January 15, 2014 Well, the banshee is popular in germany but many people who wants to ride an ATV, there are buying 4 stroke quads for example yamaha raptor 450 or 700. They all want to have an reliable ans street legal bike, and for the raptor it is a little bit easier to get street legal if you have done some mods. Or many people say, the banshee is ugly, raptor is nice. But this is a question of your own taste So i found my banshee in 2011 for 4500 euros. The condition was good and the engine was running perfectly. But in winter 2011/2012 i have done a rebuild. Frame painting from black to silver and other little things, which you need to can make the banshee nicer. The market for used banshees is very little: http://suchen.mobile.de/motorrad/yamaha-banshee-quad.html?scopeId=MB&isSearchRequest=true&sortOption.sortBy=creationTime&sortOption.sortOrder=DESCENDING〈=de&categories=Quad&makeModelVariant1.makeId=26000&makeModelVariant1.modelDescription=banshee&minPrice=3000&ambitCountry=DE Only 7 used banshees, thats not much!!! Sometimes you can find a ride at ebay germany, too!!! Quote
tdod101 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Well I know they stopped producing them in America in 2006 and 2008 in canada, they still produce them in other parts of the world too, what about Europe ? Do they make 2014 banshees ? How easy is it to get spare parts ? Quote
GermanBanshee Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Posted January 15, 2014 I had upload 3 pics of the banshee at "my gallery" about the condition after buying Well i dont know anything about banshee productions in europe, unfortunately!!! The supply for spare parts is very good in the last years. About 4 years ago it was a little bit of difficult to find all parts. But the market for tuning parts and exhausts and all this things is very little. God thanks, there is the USA!!! USA is a paradise for tuning parts in my opinion and i bought some parts via ebay.com. Quote
tdod101 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 I must admit I do like the US for its awesome parts, here in Canada you can't get half the shit you can south of the border. There's just not a big enough market for banshees here. Plus racing isn't as big Quote
GermanBanshee Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Posted January 15, 2014 If you can find tuning parts in germany, there are very expensive. For example: About few month ago i found the ASI 40mm radiator at a german shop and they wanted to have 200 euros for this radiator. And at ebay. com i had to pay only 77 euros included shipping costs!!! thats really bad!!! Shopping in the USA is very reliable and i dont have any problems until now. The only problem is, if you get a part which is a little bit of expensive i must go to my custom office and have to pay the customs!!! 19% of the complete price plus customs duty ! Quote
tdod101 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Ask someone around here how to get it shipped cheaper, I know there's away around paying customs. I've never paid customs on used parts from members, if I buy new from a sponsor depending on what it is sometimes I have to pay customs. Quote
GermanBanshee Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Posted January 15, 2014 Are the cheetah cub cylinders nicasil plated? I dont know which cylinders i have to buy for my 421 project. Does anyone have experiance with the 421 kit from wicked motorsports? Wicked has a kit in offer with athena cyls and +4 crank and a billed head included with all seals and gaskets for 1599 dollar.
