Well I picked up a roller chassis for $500. Got it home and put the pieces together and im a impressed with the guy who did the conversions work. The frame pieces all bolt together real nice, and everything lines up good. I took some pictures that I will get scanned and post... Until then, take a look here It needs some wiring, but nothing major. brakes work, suspension is good.

Not the best pics, but you can see the trike with the RZ350 still installed(I wish it was there when I bought it for $500 (LOL) Frame and everything is good quality chrome, the plastic is in bad shape though, so its getting hacked until I get something else.

I dont anticipate having to actually race that many people. My current quad setup allows me to beat 85% of the people at Oldsmobile, so once I get this motor in the ATC frame with drag pipes, I think most people are going to be intimidated and not want to race. Thats my hope anyways!!! The less I have to ride it, the less chance I get hurt on it LOL.. I am mainly buying it for sand drags on a groomed course. Some hillshooting....

If I wasnt meeting some people in Colorado to do some riding, Id have my motor yanked out of the banshee by now.. Ill keep ya updated...

Thanks THEECHOSENONE!

Hey that looks sweet there Roost King. All I can say is when you hit the throttle hang on for your life. And watch out for that light frontend you wouldn't want to flip it. :black: :burn:

That is damn good idea! If you really want ot go fast, gas it (NOS)

Those tires look way overkill for that light of a bike. I suppose you could blow em up with higher air pressure but that is still alot of paddles. Carefull when you first hit the powerband. :shock:

Get a wheely bar and lower that thing.

That is going to be a handful to ride.

Thanks guys,
Yea, thats way to much tire. I only got them with the trike to hold it yup until I get some real paddles. The owner wanted them back so he could run them on his 250 R :?

After i get the motor in, ill decide wether to continue with this project. At this point im only $500 into it. I dont want to spend upwards of $800 on a +12 inch :rollsmile: :burn: :roll2: swingarm until i know its going to work. Dont see why it wont though. About the NOS, funny you mention that. Since the previous owner had a RZ 350 motor(basically a banshee motor with electronic powervalves) installed, it has a battery box already in place. First things first though!

Whats the best way to lower it. I dont want to take all the travel out of the front, but only need a few inches of travel.

Thanks again.

Bring it over, I have just the thing to put in that frame to lower it and give it all sorts of torque. Wrench

God Luck RK - When I had my Tri-Z 250 it was sometimes a trick to keep the front end down. laugh.gif
