Entity Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Recently bought two banshee frames only, so I've got a clean slate on what to build. I am planning to only build one right now, the other will be built end of the year/first of next year as a trail bike. The one frame I am focusing on is going to be a flat track racing build. I figured if I'm going down this road I might as well buy the right stuff the first go around. The main question I have is what motor/build should I look into for flat track racing only? I do not own any banshee motors yet just want to buy the right one best suited for my needs. I have started a list of the build, motor is going to be the first thing I buy. Currently getting ready to powder coat the frame. Any questions, I'll try to answer as quickly as possible. Thank you! EDIT: I forgot to add my budget, I would like to keep it around $3500. It can be more if it's worth it. Edited April 26, 2020 by Entity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gusto Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Buy the swing arm mentioned above. Sweet deal! you definitely don’t have a lot of money to play with. Get Alba a arms and a decent shock, then if you can get a stock engine and can afford it go with a stock cylinder stroker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be more if it's worth it.$3500 for the whole build or the motor? You're definitely money ahead either way to buy a complete bike and build it the way you want. Building one from a bare frame for $3500 will be impossible using the right parts.Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toybreaker Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 you going out there to have fun or be competitive? Competitive, $3500 is not going to cut it. Keep your eyes open for a non-running or basket case bike. Use the engine as the base for your build, I'd go with the Driveline 421 assassin or 392 assassin builds, 19cc domes ported by driveline for your specs, CPI or Shearer pipes, 35-38mm carbs, Dual pingle for the tank Straight cut higher (Top speed) ratio gears for the primary drive, billet water pump impeller, Bearing modded shift drum, shift star, clutch torrington bearing, ceramic clutch ball and barnett steel with R1 fibres. If you assemble it yourself it should be close to $3500, depending on how much the cases and trans cost you. Keep a watch on the FB marketplace and craigslist too.... sometimes you can get lucky.

Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk $3500 just for the motor alone. I got the 2 frames for $200, it was too hard to pass up. I've already began ordering parts for my first build. I was only making the post to see what engine build I need to look into for flat track racing. The only thing I don't want to do from the ground up is building a motor. I would rather let the professionals deal with that end while I'm getting the frame part ready. 11 hours ago, Toybreaker said: you going out there to have fun or be competitive?

Competitive flat track for sure. $3500 is the budget just for the motor build alone. I'm glad I posted this question before buying! I was looking into a 472 or 421 build, I have it written down in front of me. I think I'm leaning toward a 421 build for sure. I haven't looked in the 392 build yet, I'll replace it with the 472 on the list. I got a pair of shearer pipes on the $200 deal for the frames. I thought the CPI and shearer pipes are for drag? Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it this helps a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandSlingerOR Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Driveline is a great choice. Cpi's are great pipes for all around. I was blown away with how fun they were compared to my pc s I had. CPI's has plenty for down low fun. I regretted selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
