Mr BadWrench Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Ive been beating my head against the wall looking for this. was hoping maybe someone else saw it. about 3 years ago a I ended up with this 1977 Yamaha XT500 flat track racer Someone I know put a lot of time and money into the motor...A LOT.... the rest of the bike has seen the end of its life span.. I remember while searching for information on swapping the motor into another bike frame I found a guy who had put a SR600 (nearly same as xt500) motor into a banshee frame. I cannot find any info and my original link because I had saved it is dead. Yesterday for $258 I bought a 96 banshee sans engine, plastic and tires. Im sure you can put the rest together..... If anyone could help me with information on a swap or happen to have any links I wold appreciate it... Don Quote

Mr BadWrench Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Posted July 9, 2008 cant forget the bailing wire either. or the super glue to hold the air filters together. The intake on my FL350R was made from a plastic cup, a piece of rain gutter, a septic coupler, 2 zip ties, 4 hose clamps and a K&N filter. and it ROCKED!!! Quote
