1999 banshee *possibly for sale*

[HammerShee99]

Well, I'm tired of dealing with the headache of having a quad that only runs as long as it takes to put it together, so I'm giving very serious consideration to selling my Banshee and buying a yz426 dirt bike that's for sale locally. I have the engine all back together, but due to some sloppy helicoil work on the head studs, something needs to be done so that the head will torque down to proper specs and seal up okay. I can't promise that what needs to be done can be done easily, but apparently it's fixable by a competent machine shop. Here's what's been done to it:

 

Hot Rods long rod 4mm stroker crank

Wiseco 795-series pistons, bored .040 over

Herr Jugs Racing dune port

Vito's .090 over head spacer plate (cylinders were decked and head was shaved so this is necessary for clearance)

Modquad head, 22cc domes milled by Kevin Herr for the 4mm stroker

Trinity Stage IV pipes/silencers with Cascade billet clamps

UNI 4" pod filters with outerwears (running on stock carbs)

VForce 2 reeds

Barnett Dirt Digger clutch with Wiseco billet basket

Works suspension

Alba +2 A arms

AC Propeg nerf bars

 

That's pretty much all the important stuff. I'd like to get $2000 out of it, which may seem a bit steep for a bike that needs a little work to get going, but you should be able to get it up and running for less than it'd cost to buy a totally running bike of this caliber, and as much money as I've put into it, I'd be taking an astronomical loss to sell it for any less than that. I'm located in O'Neill NE, and I don't know much about shipping something like this, but if you're willing to either come up and get it, meet me somewhere, or help me work out a deal for shipping, I'll be more than happy to figure something out with you. I'm still mulling over whether I'm definitely going to sell it, but I'm about 80/20 on selling vs. keeping right now so if you're interested, let me know and I'll keep you posted. If I get any hits I can email some pics, but right now I'm honestly too bummed to take any pics of it.

 

Give me a call at 402-394-1036 if you're interested and have any questions.

If that bike was in cali I would have picked it up from you.

I'll check on it and make sure that the head studs can be fixed. I don't see why they couldn't, but I'll make absolutely sure so that nobody's getting something they'll have to dump too much money into.

Still thinking about it.

 

Nice talking to ya.

[mdhc500]

Why dont you sell me those NERF's and just fix the Shee!!!

youd be better off buying a set of cylinders for it i think i know of a nice set of 4 mill stroker cylinders that have been replaced by a cub.. i livein kansas if someone want to buy this and get these from me let me know

[HammerShee99]

Hell, I can't sell this thing right now. I just have way too much time, money, and effort into it.

 

Sorry for being so wishy-washy about whether or not I wanted to sell it, but the more I think about it, the more I think I'll be kicking myself if I trade it for a dirt bike, no matter how much more reliable that dirt bike would be for me.

 

For those of you who've expressed interest or intended to express interest, drop me a line and I will keep you posted just in case something should come up, but for now, I think it's best that I hang on to it.

let me know if you need these cylinders they are ported for a 4 mill by f.a.s.t. racing.
