Well, after trying to get this POS 50cc running to no avail, I have decided to go with a 200cc 4 stroke. I bought one of those cheap China bikes 2nd hand for $400. Electric start would be a great feature on that little beast as well. Yeah. I can't wait. I have plans to bolt on a little more power with an air stack filter and bigger main jet, a racing coil, custom dual exhaust under the seat and a no rev limit racing cdi. I think it will tear up a little asphalt without tearing up my wallet. I will eventually install a WR250F in it, but for now, I will settle for anything. It has been 90 degrees the last couple days and all I can do is stand there and look at that sad little bike. Shouldn't take me but a few days to transfer everything and make the modifications neccesary. The worst of everything will be cutting the wire harness to fit. Don't want 8 miles of folded up wires on a 5 foot long bike. Just looks nasty. I will definately write up an honest review of the bike when it is complete. I would like to post before and after pics, but I haven't the slightest clue what I am doing on a computer. I have no business even owning one to be honest.

If I can find it again, I'll post a pic of a YSR with an RZ350 motor in it. (same motor as a Banshee) From the review the bike was "almost unrideable" Wheelie city any speed, and gear.

OK. Things haven't been going so smoothly with the swap. Mainly because I keep changing my mind on things as I go. The motor and mounts are in. I extended the swingarm 5 and 3/4 inches. Fitted a rim with disc brakes on the rear. I have the handlebars from a Ninja 500 on it and am now fighting myself as to making it a streetfighter or leaving it full fairing. I also have to come up with some sort of exhaust set up. I am leaning more towards streetfighter, but peer pressure is pushing me towards full fairing. I will do what I can with it. I don't believe the upper is gonna fit with the taller bars and I am still trying to do airdreams 12 volt headlight conversion. It took me an hour to get the metal part of the factory bulb out the housing. Airdreams, you must have a ton of patience or I am a chuckleheaded baboon. Either way, it is almost ready to ride. It is gonna look like hell this season. I will take it apart when the snow starts to fall again and mediablast and paint it. Pics and a review to come here hopefully by the end of next week
