Ya know, back in the day (Late 80's, early 90's) I remember seeing some pics in an ATV magazine that had a company that made a snow-tracks conversion for the Banshee. Judging be the tests, it was pretty impressive! But, I can't find a thing about it anywhere on the internet so I cant get my buddies to believe me!:blah: I think it would be pretty cool to snowmobile on a Shee, until ya get the motor packed with snow... and the throttle starts sticking on ya (yea, that happend to me:ermm: ) I cant remember what magazine I was looking at at my best friends shop the other night, (penthouse :D ) but it had some conversion kits and test results for snow-track conversions for the new bikes!! Could be fun!? :eek2:

it looks really good....you probaly dont want to hear this but all i gotta say is ride wisely because your tires are always spinning and theres practicly nuttin to your front end...youll jus be sliding everywhere....stay safe

Pretty nice man! Do you have better pictures? I want to build one :D

[welpracing]

well I have an old blaster frame some friends and I have thought of doing this to it. any idea on how much it would cost to get an old set of sled front or do you think i should just make my own.

a buddy gave me the skis from his phazer cuz he got new ones, and i just fabbed up my own bracket, but i need to make the bracket a bit stronger.

this is what i did to my 400ex

I took the hubs off and i made some mounts.the skis are off of a 76 artic cat lynx, they were the only ones i had so i made them work. you can steer better thn if you use tires but you still cant steer on ice

I dont know if you should jump it very high, it looks like wood deck spindles bolted to the wheel studs ?

if you pull the front end up will the ski tips dig in at landing ?
take a video of it if you take it out, that would be worth checking out
