superbogger Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 not a budget im gonna do what i can as i can.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Um, ok, well you can spend around 1000 on a 4mil stock cylinder drag ported, or go up to 15k+ for an 18mil triple. If you can give an idea of how much you are willing to spent I guess that would help. What kind of riding, strictly drag, sand, asphault, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docjcwatson Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I just started my build a little over 3 months ago. Trust me when I say it gets expensive quick. I have spent $10k in that short amount of time, and my bike still isn't ready. I only used the best parts money can buy though. You could easily go a cheaper and quicker route. If you want to know more about my set-up and what I have put my money into, just pm me and we can chat. =) P.s. Welcome to the HQ and also the most addictive thing in the world. - Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00tbanshee Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 to start with about how much hp you wanting to have?if you want 90 to 100 then build a 4mil stock cylinder drag port if you want over 100 then you are looking at a set of cubs,twister or dm cylinders.

kawiking Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 first thing id do is look in the for sale section..... since u dont have a banshee yet, maybe u can find a whole 4 mil cub for sale ans then go from there. another ? have u ever rode a drag banshee ?? because u are making a big leap... not sayin u cant do it, just want to let u know its diffrent then just a bolt on shee or bolt on 4 stokes.. where do u live ? and what are u wanting to race on.. asphalt(1/8, 1/4 mile) , sand/dirt tracks (300ft).

okbeast Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Well if you're really willing to spend the dough I'd call up some builders and start talking with them, sorry but w/o knowing how much you can spend its hard for us to tell you what to get like stated earlier.

njbanshee Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I agree, you need to talk to a builder. Call Jeff at fast. He can help you make up your mind on the build. I also agree about looking in the for sale section. You can save a lot of money if you buy the bike already setup. I built mine and it was really fun building it, but very expensive. Good luck, and keep us updated with pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbogger Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 yes i agree with all of you on buyin one all set up but thats the thing about me i hate buyin anything somone else had done because when you build it yourself its like puttin your personality into it...and after i get the shee lets start off and say ill be willing to drop 1500 off the bat to get started and as the paychecks come in will do more..
