How much???
Got any pics and more info on it???
Get rid of the boyseen reeds and go back to stock, or you can keep the reeds and put you stock cage over top. I bought a lot of chit for my Banshee, from Trinity and have never had a problem.

Bolt on parts are not an issue for a banshee, I would pitch the shaved head because of the tightened up squish band. If you want more compression buy an aftermarket head with a smaller dome volume to raise the compression. I had trinity pipes, trinity head, reed spacers, flywheel key, etc on my banshee and it never gave a minutes trouble.

Nothing wrong with banshees, they run great. Go over it give it a compression test, make sure it goes through it's gears fine. They are really easy to work on, there's a ton of cheap aftermarket parts around, there's nothing wrong with aftermarket reeds not really going to see much Hp gains with them, I have been around banshees forever.

Buy it make sure it's jetted good and then treat it like a rental. I had a Banshee and it was the best machine I ever had!
