r1 banshees Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Posted July 16, 2007 it was cut in half and all new mounts with new lower frame tubes and uppers a shop in molalla oregon did it called trick racing Quote
r1 banshees Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Posted July 16, 2007 im allmost done with it im working on building the front body for it . i am also installing a nitrous fogger system to it the bike has about 160 hp im gonna squeez about 40 to 50 nitrous on top of that it will be pretty wild Quote
TurboBanshee420 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) cool man! careful with that spray! nitrous is no good with a high comp. engine like that r1. may want to star twith a 25 shot and some really high grade race gas....VP114 and see if it pings. do yourself a favor and retard the timing about 6 degrees before you spray it. It will save you some $$$ Edited July 16, 2007 by TurboBanshee420 Quote
. Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 nice. Nothing like hugging an engine, squinting your eyes, and dropping the clutch. Quote
FireHead Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 That's one of the nicest street bike engine swap jobs I have seen. I might actually ride that if if presented with the opportunity. :thumbsup: Quote
dajogejr Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 That is one beautiful quad. Is your life insurance paid up....cause with that swinger and paddle combo...I would hope so!!! Or did you just remove 2-6 gears...LOL.. Seriously, nice looking, very clean build.... Quote
XxMeltIcexX Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 Nice swap man, keep us updated with pics + vids. :woot: Eric Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 while i think engine swaps are cool, i still am sitting here wondering a few things.. first, why a banshee frame? i mean if youre gonna stuff it in something why not a yfz450 or something that handles much better? i mean i did a 600rr in a craptor. the fit was pretty nice and i didnt have to cut anything in half.. second, why trick racing? ive heard some pretty questionable shit about that place. including things like they are a joke and dont have a clue about what theyre doing.. ive read that and heard that on one more occasion. i have no personal experience with them so i dont know for sure.. last, since it was cut completely in half, i hope they built a good strong jig before they cut it to make sure nothing shifted during the build. if not you may be in for a wild ride.. anyway, im not knocking your bike. i think it looks pretty crazy with those tires and motor combo.. id like to ride it..after its tested and proven by you of course. :biggrin: Quote
r1 banshees Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Posted July 16, 2007 trick racing is a diferent kind of shop but they did a good job and they did have a jig for it i seen it while they where doing it . but all in all they did a good job doing it . i dident know of any other shops to have it done at. i choose the banshee because i just like the so much i just had to have it. it rides good i have rode it aready and all is good .im doing up my front plastic up as we speak i picked up a pice from cascade a one pice front end they use on all there bikes they happen to be made of fiberglass so that was way cool because i did some fiberglass work to the back part of it to make it fit around the r1's airbox im all done with it now so its off to the painters today. trick racing is a good shop they just need to get there shit together thats all. they built me a gas tank that u see on the pic that i did not like . so i found this custom harly shop and they built me a sweet one that has one of them pop up harly stly gas caps its a bitchen pice. plus they built me some very nice aluminum pegs for it to . if it where up to me i would have tooking it there for all the work i did to it but did not know about them till later on .jc cutoms in clackamas they kick ass ....
