As promised, I told you guys I would fill you in when I start putting my race bike back together...
The '01 Banshee project is underway, this time, the home stretch, as in putting it back together...
Had this bike last year pushing alot of horses, but got the Cheetah cyliners for it, ported them through Herr Jugs Racing in California. Installing a +4mm Hot Rods Crank as well...
Went bigger and badder this time...
Should be well into the 115-120hp range!!!
Anyways, today I started putting it back together. I planned to do it in 2 days all at once, but figured starting now and do little by little might be better, for both the bike and my well being...
What I started with tonight...
Bare frame... cut some weight off it by removing all bars and parts not needed... atleast for my setup. Sanded and grinded them off... cut a total of 9.5 pounds from the bike.
The majority of the bike... all right here...
The motor, minus the cylinders...
The Trinity Racing Stage IV Exhaust...
The +4 Swingarm, to keep this Puppy's front end down on the track, and on the coal hills... also, there are the shiny footpegs I polished...
The Hot Rods +4mm Crank, the Wiseco Overbore pistons and the VForce Reed Valves for the intake...
The Cheetah Overbore cylinders... the heart of this motor...
Installing the a-arms, spindles, tie rods and some odds and ends...
Installed the front shocks and the steering stem, along with some new bearings in the frame for the steering stem's bottom end... nice and smooth!!!
Put a dent in the pile... not really, but somewhat I think...
I hope you guys have fun reading this... I will be updating it often, with new progress, and at the end, I will update it with the bike on the track, and on the hills, kicking some butt
As for now, this is as far as I got tonight... I will update next week, as I plan on working a few hours a week on this bike, and plan to have it on the track June 12 in Numidia, Pa!!!
