Has anyone seen or heard of a purple & yellow banshee 3 wheeler ? I bought it a couple years ago from a guy (Shane) in Apollo Bch. He said he bought it from someone near Polk. I'm just curious who built it. they did a good job. The front of the frame was cut off and a tri-z front end welded then powder coated was put on.The forks do have a problem with the weight though. Motor is Trinity stage II, Trinity 2:1 intake. Also when I bought it had a wheelie bar on the back so they were draggin it somewhere. I'd just like to know who built it ? Anyway thanks Bones for this site, Kelly B.

Thats crazy !!!!
Thanks Yamaharider for posting the pics. I wish I knew who built the thing. When I bought it , it was so clean it looked brand new. I tried riding it like I use to ride my other 3 wheelers, the front & rear suspension is shot so it's a pretty rough ride.I guess you can say I've ragged it out a little. The guy who built it might cry if he seen it now. I think they were draggin it on asphalt so they didn't need suspension. All I know is it was a partial trade for a pro stock drag car. The guy was into drag racing & from around Polk Co.The guy I bought it from (Shane) lives in Apollo Bch. & has a real nice pro stock, street legal, S-10. He drives it to the circle K on Apollo Bch. Blvd. sometimes cause I've seen him there. (he wasn't getting gas there though) Anyways thanks again for posting pics. cause I don't know how to.
Cool.... ;)
There's two ways he could have built that thing....
1) He put a Tri-Z front end on the thing..... :ThumbsUp.gif :ThumbsUp.gif For originality...
2) He put a Banshee engine in a Tri-Z frame....
However he did it he did a good job and I bet that thing is fun to ride.....
that thing is sweet
Nice trike. Thanks for posting it. :ThumbsUp.gif
I know the kid and father who built that three wheeler. He grew up with one of my buddies. It was originally a banshee frame that the front end was cut off of and the front end of a tri-z was attached to it. The engine work was as you described. The bike was only ridden a couple of times and you are correct that it never saw off road. It was ridden a couple of times up and down the street but never taken to croom or any place of the such. It was featured in Dirt Wheels a few years ago. If you want more information send me a message and I can probably get you in contact with the guy who built it originally.
Robocop, I sent you a p.m. i'd like to talk to them. Thanks, KB.
thats an old j-arm SHEE THAT THEY PUT A 350X OR TRI Z FRONT FORKS ON. UPDATED THE PLASTICS FOR STYLE OF A NEWER MODEL. STILL BETTER THAN J ARM BEFORE THE A-ARMS
KB send me a pm with your phone number and I will give it to my buddy and he will give you a call and tell you how to get in touch with the guy who built the bike.
the best of both.
Damn, I did not know that thing is still around. I saw photographs of it a long time ago.
