Moved to the darkside but still love our ole ladies (pics)

[TECATEMATT]

After a recent ride down at busco ( which was awesome and got to meet pretty awesome trike guys from the forum) we have finally come to the conclusion that we need to step it up to compete with these guys!

My 350x was running "ok" clutch died out but still got a few wins under my belt, my old man's Tecate was running like crap for a greater part of the ride but did get a few wins under her belt before she died out, and luckily my brothers 310R was letting us get some beat downs. Yet, between a can am 800 which I swear it was the new 1000 that son B**** was moving and a few others we couldn't touch em!

So as we said "we are moved to the dark side" haha and bought a banshee to build for some good running. Sadly since I got it from good ole boy she had a lot of riggin and some need of some TLC...

the new toy already had it stripped down a little and already have parts stacking up for it already


Bro's 310r


My ole X =)


My Old man's green machine.

nice machines there man! your old mans tecate looks bad ass, too bad it wasnt runnin good for him! have fun with the banshee!

[TECATEMATT]

Thanks dude! We've all put a lot of time into our bikes and yeah I agree it does look sick dude. I know it sucked but we think we narrowed the problem down to the stator luckily.

Going to try, did ride it a little before i ripped it down was somewhat impressed but needs the right touch =)

Banshees will make a grown man act like a little punk, but they are the best fun as far as 4 wheels go!


Nice trikes, Matt! Those blue beadlocks look sick on that R.

They're duro's aka the poor mans tri track lol

[TECATEMATT]

Thanks dude, when I jumped on and took her for a quick ride had a decent pull but a dull spot before i got into the power band. She just need's some work done to her that's all, you're not missing out lol

Thanks man and luckily when the punk side comes around I can run back to the trike and also act like a punk on a real machine ( they're are no grown man with trikes, just big kids) haha =) I know my bro got a killer deal on fleabay for them and we where some what skeptical on how the blue would look but it set it off!

[bkm]

you're not missing out lol

I disagree. Ride one that runs like it should and you'll have a different opinion. Mines nothing special, but you'll need a jack to remove the grin from your face after riding it.

I have rode many shees! And they are all fun, Id agree and say the most fun to be had on a quad is a banshee! You can have them stock and its fun or slightly modded for your pleasure, set of pipes and a few minor things and it will really wake up the beast. Or you can sink a boat load of cash into it so thats its to fast to ride anywhere but a strip or dunes! Many options and alot of fun to have with one. Great looking trikes also!

[TatTooL23]

I will agree banshees r fun and lots of power but only in the top end. They r dogs until u r in the power band. Then u better hope u r holding on well enough or u will be off the back of the quad.

Honestly though a quadzilla is much more fun and much more power. The torque is completely rediculous. All around power that is there Any gear at any time at any speed.

[T3 LOPES]

They all look good! what size swinger is on the tecate? anything done with the motor on the tecate. sweet looking machine!

If the Can Am 800 you rode with was a 06 or 7. Forget it! They are unbeatable with a pro rider. 08 and up,you can play with,,they changed the intake ,timing, Andboth cams . They are VERY Banshee like in their powerband,,I cannot STAND them! BUT,the 06 and 7's are just torque monsters! IF,,you want an Insanely nice Banshee,,I would get a 2 into 1 pipe. Hands down,,the SOUND that will emminate from that POS,,I mean Banshee,,lol,,,is Worth any price.. It also moves your power around to a much nicer ride. IF you don't get the pipe,,DEF get the single carb set up. You're also quite limited with the J arm setup.. Not the end of the world! You obviously have the skills to get in there and make this a good ride. Modification wise? There is a LOT more potential there to hop up.. However,,that 310 should handle that Banshee the way it sits? Good luck,,and we'll look forward to your progress!

I have owned many shees..Love em..First thing I do is down tune their torque range with everyone I get..But I ride em in trails.
Dont fall into the "cant get any bottom end power from them misconception"..

Mill the head to 145 PSI of compression, add a 12 tooth sprocket and a set of midrange pipes or 2-1 exhaust system, and you can out tork almost any 4 stroke in the trails.
