My project-yfz450/banshee love child. Opinion?

[bobilly]

I have an 01 banshee power plant that I am currently building up to go in an 04 yfz450 chassis. I think a quad with banshee power and yfz450 suspension will be awesome. What do you think? oh and any performance or appearance mods are greatly welcomed thanks.

There was someone on this forum who did that swap, in which I think in the end he was pretty satisified with it.

Look forward to it... When you start call the thread "Project YFZ4FIFTSHEE" :thumbsup:

I think it'll be awesome! Like you say the great handling of the YFZ chassis with the explosive Banshee power should be a really great combination. :thumbsup:

we picked up the frame, plastic, seat, gas tank, steering stem today. started comparing to my empty banshee frame to see what we will need to do. it dont look to be to hard.

I think if you can get the banshee plastic on it that it would ok lol. yea you need the old school look w/newer suspension.

The Shee does look cool, but I still like whats under the seat... I would at least find a way to

mount the shee stock head lights somewhere on that frame as a tribute!

he wants to give it that yfz look so when they see him coming they think its a yfz but when he gets close they hear the 2 stroke and are like what the hell.

Hey guys,

I am on a YFZ450 rolling chassis now, trying to get it for a good price, this guy has 2, a 2004 and 2005 model. I am going to put a 4mm long rod RZ in it IF I can get a chassis for a good price. At the moment the guy wants way to much. Hopefully all will work out..

The Shee has been down for a frame up cleaning, repaint, and overall go-over, and I think The front fenders will be the only thing that does not make it back on... The Shee looks cool, its just a tad heavy and the only thing about the 450 I like is the suspension...
