Okay guys, I need your help. I'm looking for a custom frame/chassis builder that will build me a strong, lightweight, gusseted, long travel, chromoly Banshee Frame that I designed on a old Auto CAD Program I had back when I was in college for a recreational race/play/trail Banshee. I called, emailed, and talked to Tim at Stellar and the guys at Viking Powersport's and both say its to much for them to take on because they would need a Banshee and a 2009+ Yamaha YFZ-450R/X present to get measurements off of as they go to insure the geometry is correct. This Banshee/YFZ-450R Hybrid Frame accommodates stock or after market 2009+ YFZ-450R A-Arms, Shocks, Spindles, Hubs, Front Brakes, Steering Stem/Flag, Foot Pegs, Front Bumper, Aluminum Sub-Frame, and Rear Grab Bar and it uses stock or aftermarket Yamaha Banshee Motor, Radiator, Plastic, Heel Guards, Gas Tank, Seat, Air Box, Headlights, Rear Shock Linkage, Rear Shock, Swingarm, and Rear Brakes. I know what a lot of you guys are thinking.... Why not do a Banshee motor transplant on a YFZR Frame???? I like the way the Banshee looks, plus I'm having a big 500+ cc motor being built as we speak that should produce torque numbers in 70's at the rear tires and I'll need a +6 heavy duty arched latter swingarm to help keep the tires planted and the nose down. The Banshee has a assortment of different lengths and style swingarms available and the YFZR doesn't. I plan on running a Stellar Banshee +6 Heavy Duty Arched Latter Swingarm, Elka Banshee Long Travel Rear Shock Linkage, Dual Rate Fox Podium Rear Shock (11.5" Rear Travel), YFZR Fox Float Evol-X Front Shocks , YFZR Houser A-Arms, and a Houser +3 YFZR Steering Stem with this long travel frame and the total wet weight even with the +6 swingarm should be reduced somewhere between 18 to 21lbs if my math is correct. Please let me know if you know of a chassis or suspension build that might be able to help me out with this. Thanks
