FORMULASPEED Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Hinson offers straight cut gears with different ratios. There might be somewhere else you can get standerd gears with different ratios but I dont know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtclod20 Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 So bottom line, would having boonman or banshee worx lighten my flywheel be beneficial or not? I'm sure there might be a better method of lightening the flywheel that will give the best of both worlds (low and high end). However I'm a believer of not trying to reinvent the wheels, just make it roll better. I feel the benefits to the latest ideas would probably be very minimal as far as rideability. I don't live on my banshee so a simply mod that could make it ride a little smoother is fine by me. When I start driving it to florida, I may look into changing the powerband.

Holyman Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 I still think there would be a slight advantage to Ron's flywheel mod just because ot's lighter but both should work great for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. Ron takes a couple more ounces with the slots. I do not do the slots.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSkinner Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hello all. This is my first post and, first off, I'd like to thank all y'all for all the knowledge I've gained from this sight. I bought my first banshee last fall bone stock and after a couple thousand bucks and about a billion hours on the HQ, it's finally coming along. I always try to search old posts for what I need, but I can't find this one. I had my flywheel lightened by my machinist who does mostly bikes, and he said he took off the most he's ever taken off a flywheel. It just doesn't look to be as much as the pics I've seen posted. I don't have it to measure the OD, but he took off just about exactly the thickness of a nickel I think he said .120 . Is that enough to make a noticeable improvement? Cause if not I can have him take more off. Hey thanks again guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotulMonsta Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Well, your limited on metal options. It has to be ferros metal. Aluminum or titanuim isn't ferros. So that leaves you with a steel allow of some kind. Perhaps milling a titanium hub with a steel facing rivited together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
