    just a thought

    i have been just running this thought around my head for little over a week now. would it be practical to buy a banshee and turn it into a trike? i read about the other four wheel type vehicles getting turned into the good ol three wheel type. would it work out or just crash and burn i havent seen any attemps in trying this build on the forums. what all you guys think on this idea? chime in let me know your thoughts?

    one was done years ago, it didnt look right at all. you gotta remeber the radiator was on the front of the banshee hood, not sure where you'd put it unless you do somthing like a tecate rad on the tripples.

    i rather have a banshee as a quad and swap in a 4 stroke motor so the rear wheels acctulay dont spin the knobs off the tires lol!
