Not sure what the final weight will be. I can weight my buddies and let you know. Are bikes will be very similar. His is setup for the strip though. We are going to do a set of drag lite arms and spindle mounts for his.
After he built his, it was apparent you can't build a bike that is really good at both. Good drag bikes don't dune well and good dune bikes don't drag well!. There is no perfect answer to the build. I want a nice comfortable duner/hillshooter that will hold its own with a good pecentage of the bikes when it comes time for the grudge drags out in the flats. That's all...
Obviously giving a weight advantage to the banshee, but I think it will hold its own!!! And I won't be nearly the amount of $$$$$ into it like some of the Banshees and Raptors out there that's for sure.
Not to mention it will still be Zilla based and look like one too!!!!!!!!!
