After: New motor, new plastic, powdercoating/polishing. It's still not done yet but I like it!! :devil: Pictures don't do it justice. I took them at the wrong time of day....

Nice! I'll tell you, those AC Racing bumpers make a world of difference as far as looks go. I'll post pics of my 04 LE Banshee when I get my ELKA Shocks:)

After I blew up my 2nd banshee motor in 1 year(alot of $$$), everything just sat around collecting dust. Then in '03 I had a yz400f, and one of my friends bet me I wouldn't put the motor in the Banshee frame!!! That motor lasted 3 years until it disintigrated all over the track, so now we have a YFZ450!!!:devil: It's ALOT of fun to ride...When I save up the $$$ again, I am going to build another Banshee with the 2 stroke again...:D

Yea I don't know why you'd put a different engine in a Banshee frame (besides a bigger one for dragging). I would rather put the Banshee engine in a YFZ450 so you'd have the awesome 2-stroke power of a Banshee with the awesome handling of the 450.

Honestly I would rather have a 450 motor in a banshee then yfz, Call me crazy but I just dont like the ways the yfz's feel at all.

I like the way the Banshee handles. I've had a 250r, 2 400ex's, and the Banshee, and it just suits the way I ride better. I don't feel as cramped. ....... Besides that, I just wanted something different!!!!:D

I guess to each his own. I liked the way the Banshee felt but I feel the YFZ450 handles so much better (as would anyone else agree, the frame just isn't set up on the Banshee with handling in mind).

But you definately have something different and it looks pretty sweet.
