DeuceRooster Posted January 2, 2004 Report Posted January 2, 2004 Okay here is a challenge for all the HQ members. You have a brand new Banshee all stock you have $1500 in your pocket and want to suprise some Big Bore 4-stroke guys with a stock looking Shee to prove that what you see is not always what you get. The engine must remain stock in apperance other than maybe switching to a single carb (basically no bright polished finish cylinders or anything that would give away the mods) You may use any tires you want and any exhaust you wish but remember to include them in the price of the mods which cannot total over $1500 Let's Go!!

Indubitably Posted January 2, 2004 Report Posted January 2, 2004 OK lets try this used T-3's cut'em $120 Full drag port, shave head, new pistons, weld crank $900 (all labor done by owner) used intake tract from ebay w/ 35mm pwk's, billet intakes, fmf ram valve's, & spacers $220 cut fenders and take off useless stuff freebie and drop 20 lb's have swingarm extended $75 finally buy some paddles off of ebay $150 for scat trac haulers total $1465 and bike that is faster than mine Quote
BdBanshee Posted January 2, 2004 Report Posted January 2, 2004 I have modified my wifes 1990 Banshee by milling the head .030", advancing the timing 5 degrees, and lightening the flywheel (Total cost = $160 plus shipping). Other than a K&N filter in the stock airbox this motor is totally stock (Probably time for a top end job after 13 years of riding). While at Little Sahara I sometimes take her quad out to the drags and have never been beaten by a 4 stroke. At the end of the drags nobody can believe that a stock pipe Banshee smoked them! I haven't had a chance to race the new YFZ450 so I am talking about Raptors and DS650s. Quote
boonman Posted January 2, 2004 Report Posted January 2, 2004 Strokeer crank, porting, and pipes. You will flat out smoke 'em.... Quote
MULLET~BOY Posted January 2, 2004 Report Posted January 2, 2004 do what Indubitably said but instead of carbs and intakes..... run stock carbs get them converted to alky 100 bucks get a pingle 70 bucks port the stock reed cages and run tdr reeds 40 bucks find some place to bore your carbs to 28mm probablu around 50 bucks looking at about 80 hp lol sucker will look verry stock except for the the swing arm and pipes and the larg amount of smoke and the funny alky smell......

sandbuzzard Posted January 2, 2004 Report Posted January 2, 2004 get a pingle 70 bucks What is this?? Quote
Big Blue Posted January 2, 2004 Report Posted January 2, 2004 pingle is a petcock for the gas tank that is pretty much required to run alky due to amount of flow required to feed the motor. not really sure how else to explain it. Quote
BamaBanshee Posted January 2, 2004 Report Posted January 2, 2004 big blue i think that is the best avatar i've EVER SEEN Quote
theeechozen1 Posted January 2, 2004 Report Posted January 2, 2004 I think Id go with the following: 4mm crank...500.00 porting for stroker crank...220.00 flatslides...200.00 blast-turd pistons...110.00 pipes...400.00 boonmans shaved head mod...50.00 gaskets...30.00 bud light...30.00 should be a haul ass bike, but after all said and fired up your cost would prolly be around 2k for odds and ins Quote
DeuceRooster Posted January 2, 2004 Author Report Posted January 2, 2004 Excellent setups guys keep them coming. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted January 2, 2004 Report Posted January 2, 2004 well its a 2 stroke, you dont have to be scared by a thumper, but all the guys on here have set that up pretty damn good, only thing i would add is port n polish kit from ebay Quote

Other than a K&N filter in the stock airbox this motor is totally stock (Probably time for a top end job after 13 years of riding). how do you advance the timing 5 degrees? is this something that can be easily done for little or no money? thanks Quote
