a guy on 3WW posted this up, his converted bike.

He transplanted a Banshee motor into his bike!

heres a vid:

looks alittle difficult riding in them tight trails, but it would probly kick ass at the dunes

its fugly, but pretty badass too! I'd ride it!

not too bad, for the first one of its kind. and dual 2 stroke pipes is wicked cool looking.


would be a badass dune bike.

pretty sweet! any pics?

Im hounding the guy to post some up. right now, you guys know as much as i do.

shweet!

That is a first for me. It would be cool to see in person fo sho.

His current project is building a set of in-frame pipes.

WTF is up with his frame tube?

its a cool idea, but has got to be the ugliest and most nigrigged bike ever. look at the zip ties holding the silencer in place (I love using plastic to hold hot exhaust peices in place), the motor angle, and WTF did he do w/ the Y? I think he should go back and clean that ugly peice up.

doesn't even look like there is a Y piece

Ugly is one thing, but that looks unsafe to me.

no wonder he didn't post any pics

he claims that after he gets the in-frame pipes fabricated, he is going to make it look nicer. we will see.

Ill bet with some work, that fucker would make a rediculous sand/hillclimb bike.

Im with Danny on this one.

ummmmm
that thing is UGLY
no y in the frame so a big hit and you would ride over the motor

i give him props for the idea of doing it, but the follow through wasn't thought out or done very well.

i love the sound of a twin cylinder two stroke. this makes me want to get a steel frame yz or yzf to try this on. too bad i'm broke as hell or i'd get started doing it.

i want to hear him ride it wicked

I say someone do the same, onl;y use a newer yz450f chassis and do the Y properly. would probably have to be lower and shaped into an upside down T.

to cover for pipe lengthe issues, have them crosscross, so the right would exit out the left and the left out the right. would be a tricky setup, but find a guy who makes pipes for triple sleds, and I'm sure he could do it! have you ever seen custom pipes on a triple sled?! they are rediculous!

4Z knows the dudes with pipe skills

Dyno Port makes a 2-into-1 exhaust kit that would be great for this application. I'm sure there is a performance cost somewhere in the powerband, even though Dyno Port says there's not. It would be a heckuva lot easier than routing a pipe down BOTH sides.

I think the 2-1 pipe loses on the top end which is where the motor shines. I'm going to cross link to the RZ350 forum. There's someone building a yamaha frame up properly. You guys might like it.

At the end of the day, the twin pipe makes more power than a single pipe.
