Straying from the subject, but the Banshee that let go on the dyno: What kind of engine mods and who built it? Just curious as to what everone else is running in their Banshees.

Thanks,

Daren

 

I believe it is at least a 500, possibly built by Trinity. He hit 97 HP before it let go.. I was going to dyno my 420, but when he blew, I thought better of it.. I dont have a second bike!~

Sorry for replying so late...

The MBRP pipe I bought is the full exhaust system with stock dia. headpipe. There are 3 different ones - the full system with stock dia. headpipe, full with larger dia. headpipe and the drag pipe. The drag pipe wans't nearly as loud as I expected.

The 2 full systems sound the same and don't sound much louder than stock, a deep, smooth mellow tone, as well as being fully polished Stainless! Absolutely gorgeous.

After seeing Raptorrrc's "mild" bike put out 53hp on the dyno and sound nearly as quiet as a stocker, I want to duplicate that engine next yr.

I decided to replace the CT pipe because it's fairly loud when you're on the throttle, the packing is already starting to blow out and it doesn't hold a candle to the MBRP in the looks dept. The MBRP never needs to be repacked.

Now if Craycraft Racing carried Titanium tie rods...LOL[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Excellent write-up Steve. Sounds like a great time.

Roostking,

Thanks for the info on that Banshee. I would have liked to have heard what your Banshee would have pulled on the dyno too, but I understand why you didn't take the chance.

Thanks again,

Daren
