    Banshee motor in a tri-z?

    Has anyone ever put or seen a 'shee motor in a z? I found a 'shee for 600 bucks and thought it might make a good motor for a trike.
    Trikes: Cagiva 200, 85? Tiger 250,(2)84 200x's , (3)86 200x's, 87 200x, (5)85 350x's, (2)86 350x's, (2)85 250r's, 86 Tecate, (3) 85 250sx's Restoring: 83 200x, 86 250sx. Too many utility trikes to list.

    I've seen it done, but wondered how. When Tri-Z_Jim had his banshee he had the motor out and set it in a Z frame and from what he said the exhaust ports on the banshee motor where almost exactly where the two bottom frame rails come up together on the main tube in the front of the frame (Connecting to the steering head). I wondered if you could maybe raise the front of the engine up to get a little higher and past that part, but then you run into problems with hitting the top of the frame. If anyone has done it, I'd be interested in seeing pictures of it done myself.
