    What do you think!?

    Well I went to a birthday party last weekend and some guys started talking about quads so I started talking about trikes. They both looked at me like I was an alien. I could see they thought I was a inbreed redneck. Well when I started talking about my idea they stopped talking to me and acted like I wasn't there. My idea was cutting off the front end of a banshee and welding a tri-z front end on it. It would be crazy and a tax write off for my business Trick Fab. I think people that buy 2008 quads for $8500.00 are girls that can't work on there bikes and think how much they spent = how cool they are. OMG if I used $8500.00 on a build it would kill whatever 2008 quad they had! They kept saying two strokes where old technology, well I don't know about you but my 1965 chevy is old tech too but I would build that before I would build a 2008 Honda car. Now more then ever I want to build something so crazy and fast that when people talk trash I would say one thing Lets Race!

    Good looking TRI-Z for an alien. lol. Joking. If you look at my line up I'd say that's the next one I need to get. lol. Actually I had a TRI-Z with a YZ465 motor but it wasn't fast. I should have maybe kept it and converted back to stock, oh well.
    And I think a Banshee with TRI-Z front end would be awesome!
    I'm sure this has been discussed or tried or something but will a Banshee motor fit in a TRI-Z?

    I feel your pain about the guys who don't understand trikes. It happened to me so often I don't even chime in anymore. It takes a special person to understand trikes.

    I've always wanted to do the banshee thing. I say go for it!

    I say go for it too! That would be one bad trike. A friend had an 89 shee that was all worked over it was bad fast. I can only imagine a 3 wheeled shee.

    i seen a shee with a 350x front end in dirtwheels about 10 years ago. it was so long the only practical use would be drags. the tri-z on ebay probably had an rd350 motor in it, that is what the shee was derived from, but that air cooled street motor is just aneasier fitment.

    hell why not go 1 step further if your doing custom, get a hiabusa (sp?) motor and drop it in? that's what?1100cc and will kick most things rears so bad they go home crying to momma in stock form.
