Nope. With some custom fabrication im sure it will fit.

It would take less fabrication to build one from scratch. The Z motor fits into the swingarm. The Banshee isnt even close. The Blaster is closer, but it makes no sense since the TriZ swingarm and rear end assembly is much more advanced than the Blaster, and Z swingarms dont sell for much.

just get one made, or take a stock Z swinger and have it stretched out.

I'm not so sure the Banshee swinger wouldn't work with minimal mods. I've been curious to see try this myself, before.
Since both bikes use the same suspension linkage, it would seem that you could just mark and remove the center section of the Banshee front tube and install some bushings. You would have to use all Banshee rear carrier and rear brake caliper to make this work as well, but I think it might work!

The 85 and 86 Z's have different linkage. What year does the banshee share with?

The linkage looks the same, but they are different dimensions. Neither the old style or new style Banshee matches mine. The Warrior is closer but it doesnt match either.

But when its all said and done, and you hack the center chunk out of a Banshee swingarm, and fabricate it to work, what do you gain? I guess my question goes back to the original post, in asking, why do you want to put a Banshee swingarm on a Tri-Z?
