#1JUANstunna Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Can someone name ONE thing that Vortex has ever done that made sense?! Which vortex? Thacker or Ride.little.boyz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thack82 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Are you planning on running a extended length , arched swinger in the woods? Sent from a van down by the river Yes I plan on running a heavy duty +4 or +6 arched latter when and if I ever get that long travel frame built. I'm running a +3 on my Stock 04 Frame and it will turn sharper than a stock suspension Banshee, it's got a great turning radius with this suspension setup I'm running now. I figure I'll need the extra length with the new motor and I'm 32 years old now and a 2he C class hare scramble takes it out of me. I'd rather have a good comfortable reliable Banshee that has a ton of horsepower and torque that I can just cruse through the woods, shoot a few steep hills on, and kick ass in the river bottom drags. I'm getting to old to plow into trees and I'd rather have big power, but reliability is right up there too. I hope this new setup will have it all.

Thack82 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Which vortex? Thacker or Ride.little.boyz? I still don't get it. I guess this ones way over my head? A properly matched YFZX Hybrid Suspension and the steel basket are both good mods for recreational trail/play Banshee. Both are durable, cheap, and yield a good performance. Please don't take what I'm saying the wrong way, these upgrades are not for every Banshee and every style of riding and racing, and I'm not pushing or trying to talk anyone into doing the mods that I've done on my Banshee. I don't stand to make anything. I'm only trying to share the information knowledge that I've accumulated through out my own build. You can take what I say for what it's worth, if your interested in doing some of mods I've done I'll do all I can to help. I think my Banshee rides handles better than any other banshee I've rode, but I haven't rode a all out Banshee with a aftermarket long travel frame with 25" of front and rear suspension travel and Fox Float Shocks. I have rode Banshee's with dual rate Works Shocks, Roll Design A-Arms, Fullflights, Stage-II Elka's, Axis Shocks, American Star A-Arms, Stock Shocks, Stock A-Arms, Raptor 700R Shocks, 04-08 YFZ-450 Shocks, and 04-08 YFZ-450 A-Arms. The Owner of the Banshee with +2 Roll Design A-Arms, Stage-II Elka's, Revalved/Resprung Stock Banshee Shock, and a Ace Fabrication +2 Swingarm had $2,500+ invested in his trail suspension and he even said he thought my bike rode and handled better in the trails. He might have pulled his Elka's straight out of the box bolted them on, I don't know. We were within 10lbs of each other on weight. You can't compare my 2011 YFZX Hybrid Suspension to a 04-08 YFZ Swap with or without the aftermarket a-arms though. The R and the X shocks are in a different category all together.

Thack82 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 What's the new motor going to be? It's not as big as your big Serval but at 500cc's+ it should be strong runner for a play bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thack82 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Oh ok. Mine is a 14mm Serval DM. It's about 745cc. That's awesome, I've never even heard of a DM Serval. Have you had that bike on a Dyno? I've been told it puts down big numbers. What was your previous Banshee with silver Full Bore Plastic, 10 mil DM Cheetah? It was a bad ass bike too.

locogato11283 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 It makes about 150HP with in-frames. My old motor was a smaller Serval DM. CP casts these for me specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprinklerman Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Lucky bastard. Waiting for these to hit the selves!Same here. They are very "hush-hush". I'll be bringing a 4mm Cub and a Serval Thack. Hope i can keep up! Sent from a van down by the river Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thack82 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 It makes about 150HP with in-frames. My old motor was a smaller Serval DM. CP casts these for me specifically. I had my builder talk to CP about casting a 521 Super Serval with the CR250 6-Bolt Intakes and they would but you had to order at least $15,000 worth in order for them to cast one. I don't know why they don't put the big intakes on all their 10 mil and up Super Cubs and Servals. From what I've read they could use it.
