Here it is: The BANSHEE DIRTBIKE

**hawaiirider** · 05-01-2009, 12:18 AM

im putting a banshee motor in a crf450r frame, actually its pretty much done now. BUT, a prob popped up: im using the 450's radiators and the banshee motor has a hose coming out of the head (the small one in the middle of the spark plugs) that has no place to go on the new radiators? also i have no idea where the darn skinny hose coming out of the waterpump goes either? any help is appreciated!!!! one last if you will the rear brakes on the 450 lost prime after they were disconnected, i tried the conventional method of primeing it, no luck?

cant help you any... but you need to post pics ASAP!

the hose on the head goes back to the radiator tank to let air out of the system.. not sure about the other hose its been awhile since i had a banshee apart.. If i remember correctly it isnt part of the cooling system.. I have always wanted to build a banshee powered dirtbike.. Have any pics of this thing? I am curious of what you use for exhaust

I think the hose from the water pump area is a crankcase vent and it hooks up with a "T" to the vent on the back of the motor in the depression.

I have question, why was this moved to the quad forum? is this not a dirt bike or a trike conversion? talk about getting sloppy..

**hawaiirider** · 05-01-2009, 12:03 PM

any idea what to do with the hose? it spews alot of water out constantly, i can hook it to the overflow but that stays shut until the bike over heats? im almost stumped

thanx it all came togerther today, its maiden voyage is tomorrow ill post pics soon in the bike section i guess.

**hawaiirider** · 05-03-2009, 12:29 AM

was alot harder to build then planned, but its rideable now. Its no KX500 but its a unique bike that WILL climb just about any hill here in hawaii. The only thing i need to finish is the pipes, they suck hanging out of the frame! it was alot of welding just to get to this point w them, i need another pair to work on, some different carbs too, the ones i got are

ed. enjoy.
