Trim your fenders

Ditch the air box (if you are still running the stock air fillter setup you are and idiot)

ditch the parking break

Ditch the TROS

get an inline fuel filter

Deck the head (most shops do this for realy cheap with a core)

do not use Yamalube (try a synthetic premix)

make sure you have a jet kit

polish anything you can (most parts are aluminum and you can save alot of $ by doing it your self)

Go on a diet (the cheapest way to drop a few pounds off of your shee)

And make sure that your right thumb is in good shap (it will be doing alot of mashing)

well done

[Otis]

ditch the parking break

 

and once you've done that, break out the dremel, hack off all the "extra crap"

off the clutch perch, then polish.

I did the same thing a couple months back with the red anodized paint and looks awsome and is pretty durable too.

Anozized paint works good!

 

But back to the real mods

 

Install grease fitting to axel carrier

(Pretty easy get a small grease fitting from auto store, hardware, wherever, center punch a hole in the center of the top half of the carrrier, drill it out. Now comes the work! Get to the axel collar, after you've taken your whole axel apart that shouldn't take long . Then line up the grease fitting hole with the collar and drill 2-3 holes, depending on drill bit size, don't get carried away. This keeps the axle well lubricated.

Ahh another MOD

Temp Gauge, look it up, there are a couple threads already.

 

*Lian Turbos out of an old van? Really? Who wants to hear more about that? I would never ever suggest using any parts from an old van to mod your banshee. Banshee can be turbo'd, I've seen a kit a while back on EBay, very nice tdo4 hybred turbo, for about $1500. If your a good fabricater I imagine you could apply a turbo to a banshee for less.

 

Keep posting Mods

ive seen pics with banshee's with turbo's i would never put one in my banshee but you can soposly take a turbo form some old van and put it in a banshee or a blaster

[JayFressh]
