Semi built banshee VS Semi built Raptor 700

[Dgrey]

So who do you think will win. My Banshee or a Raptor 700

 

My banshee has

8 Cup Haulers on it now

Kevin Herr Agressive Dune port, VF3's, K&N Pods, Toomey t-5's, +6 timing, 100 octane VP, +4 swinger, +2+1 arms works shocks, stiffer clutch springs and I think that it. **yes I still have stock carbs** it was either front suspension or 35 PWK's and I chose the suspension - carbs next season for sure.

 

The RAPTOR 700 has

8 Cup Haulers on it now

Aftermarket Pipe - K&N - Front aftermarket suspension

 

I really hope that my damn banshee beats this bike. The competition is on Friday night at Test Hill - Gordon's Well. I have not even ridden my bike since the front suspnsion has been put on so I hope that helps in the whoops section.

you should be able to take him but it all depends on the rider man. if he is a stud rider who knows

[RadarRacing]

I'd say with an aggressive port you will. But if it wanst for that or if he's a lot lighter then the raptor. They run good but so does a decent banshee.

I agree 100%...it all depends on the port job on yours, and the rider on both...

It should be a close race, either way....

[kawiking]

you should probably pull him....... save up and gets some carbs !!

[Dgrey]

So its going to be an even race. Damn ohh well i'll report back here after the race. =)

I just had this same run, but with knobbies on.... the 700 got me out the hole, top of 3rd into 4th i walked away pretty hard. with paddles and traction you should have no problem.

[dajogejr]

If the paddles on the 700 are better than that paddles in your sig pic, you might be in trouble...those aren't a very good drag in the sand tire...

[RagunCajun]

i think he will take you until the very end and that's IF you catch up.

[Dgrey]

Its going to be a good race then. I have 21x10 - 8 cup haulers and so does he.

[okbeast]

I've got damn near the same bike as you, porting, swinger, carbs, etc. except I'm running 10 paddle 22" SLS haulers, but this is in very deep, soft sand. I was beating damn near every stocker/bolt-on 4stroke at LS a couple of weekends ago, granted I only weigh 135 lbs. too, which definately helps, but the dune port is awesome with the T-5's. Only thing i'd be worried about for you is only having 8-paddles, you may just spin the hell out of them.

you will take it... during sandfest i raced a 700 that had hot cams, piped, k&n, ported, clutches, ingition box, plus more... my specs are in my profile... i could take him by a couple bike lengths.. im 185lbs and he was probably 150lbs

[kawiking]

how much air do you have in your tires ? i keep about 5 lbs so it hooks better.

Hey, this dude's 700 isin't built up that much.... You have damn near the same mods as I do, but you have a +6 swinger and I have a +4 so I should be able to take em. =)

I think I normally run about 8 in the dunes is that 'normal?'

I could lower it to 5 for the night of the hill shoot drag race. I need to practise my launches because I have only rode the bike once after all this work I did to it and the haulers that I put on. I dont want to look like an idiot and pop a fat wheele and loose the race.

[spolchlopek]

ya i dont think you will have any problem with him... i was launching in 2nd and i even had may 20inch sandstars on instead of my 21inch haulers which was hurting me too... i would spin the sand stars off the line like crazy but they got the job done...
