banshee track kits

[macgillivary]

Hey a few years ago i seen a track and ski kit on a banshee in an ATV mag

anyways i seen that mattrax sells them for 4x4 but they dont say anything about selling them for 2wd bikes

anybody know some companies or websites that offer them for banshee?

thanks

The only way to get them for any 2wd anymore is ebay or someone fabbing them. I tried all over the place over this summer and to no avail. Everyone stopped making them because they kept breaking from what im told. I have seen tehm on ebay thoufh - JT

You might just consider fabbing up some skiis and running some paddles.

ya i could fab up skis no problem

i have an old old yamaha enticer 340, and i have a coupel sets of skis for it

id rather have the tracks though, deep snow up here in Canada and since i have a quad there is no way ill be allowed to get a trail pass to go with the sleds so ill be using my own trails which will be mostly powder, i doubt the paddles will stay up on the powder

but i never tryed paddles in snow do they work good in deep stuff?

The only problems I've ever had with the paddles were keeping the front end above the snow. I don't have a set of skiis for mine but I'd like to try it sometime. Others on here have run ski paddle setups, I think JTQuad and Boonman have. They'd have more insight than I do.

www.adboivin.com they have applications for raptor and banshee

hey thanks man glad to know there is somebody that still makes them

 

but now im interested in making my own ski setup and paddles

will paddles stay up on snow?

i assume they will hook up really well

and guys who do run paddles in snow what size tire how many paddles do you run? i was thinking a 20 or 22 and as many paddles as possible lol

and suggestion on a paddle tire?

I run the GBC paddlemasters. Do a search under the product reviews for a picture. They are made for mud and snow.

AD BOIVIN does not make tracks for any 2wd machine. Although they show a listing, they discontinued them in early 05 and do not even make parts to piece on together. I have tried all roads trust me you have to fab them. But, i do have skiis and paddle son my shee and they work awesome. You can stop in a good 12- 14" and take right back off again - JT

That looks so sweet. I really need to locate me some skiis and get them made for next year. With my Swinger being busted I missed all the good snow this year.

Hey JTQuad, That is pretty cool. How did you make the mounts for the skis? Are they just modified banshee spindles with a post welded on or something else?

[JTQuad]

I bought these off boonman a few years back they appear to be spindles with the post welded as you thought. Later - JT

Boonman do you still make them?

[macgillivary]

ya that looks sweet

so they are bombardiar skis with the posts and modified banshee spindles? or snowmobile spindles too?

 

i went in to my dealer where my buddy works, started chatting it up to him about this project, anyways he suggested that i get the spindles off a ski doo mxz or a gsx, the a-arm models and just bolt it up to my a arms, sounds almost to perfect

time for ebay

what do you guys think of that plan?
