1998 Yamaha Banshee YFZ 350 Twin

This project began as a way for me to get over my dirt bike boredom.  I had been riding motorcross bikes all my life and started to get bored with them.  I decided to give quads a try as I'd always wanted one but never could afford it.  I sold my KTM 250SX and bought this 1998 Banshee in March 2005.  When I got it, the only mods where some worn out RAZR tires and a proflow filter setup.  On the way home from picking it up, I said I would ride it for a year before I started modding it.  3 weeks later I had a ton of items for it I'd purchased on eBay and Project Banshee was officially underway...

Here is all the information from when I purchased the quad to it's current state.
