Re: King Kenny Banshee Tracker
Front mudguard is an easy fit and although its got pod filters thats pretty close to the one its styled after and at least its got filters, unlike masses of those fucking hopeless cafe racer things that look like they never turn a wheel in anger.
Also, its twin shock so could have something to stop shite from covering the filters. Maybe even just an airbox?

Re: King Kenny Banshee Tracker
Just to be awkward I dont mind em on spannies cos they're cones and a bastard to bend otherwise.
They could be hydroformed but even thats a bit of an art that lets face it, none of us here has done as far as I can tell.
I'm much less blown away by inch long lobsterback sections in pipe thats the same diameter all the length, like on fourstrokes. They could often be filled with dry sand, heated and bent without all the cuts.
Or bent with an internal flexible mandril.

Re: King Kenny Banshee Tracker
I'm definitely not hyper aware of that mistake on account of having made it far too many times.

Re: King Kenny Banshee Tracker
Never a problem in the 80s, the Lomas pipes I had on my YPVS had tapered down pipes with out all this welds, as did Swarbricks, both were made by men in sheds.demographic wrote: ↑Sun Feb 20, 2022 6:41 pmJust to be awkward I dont mind em on spannies cos they're cones and a bastard to bend otherwise.

Re: King Kenny Banshee Tracker
I was fairly sure Josh got Swarbricks for his TZR250 in the 90s and they had the welds. I could be incorrect TBF.

Re: King Kenny Banshee Tracker
Yeah, nice, but it only has half the cylinders it should have. Kenny's bike was a TZ700 (or 750?)
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

Re: King Kenny Banshee Tracker
I've just clicked this link for the fifth or sixth time in a desperate attempt to like it - because the title has all the elements to make me fall in love with it, but I just don't like it. It's the tank. I can't even get beyond that.
