got the 2nd replacment arm christmas eve. my one fear came true, they sent the wrong one. at this point im going to get back in touch with them and see what they will do for some type of refund, and i will fix the one arm with the crooked bracket

picked up a a arm and shock package from alba for my banshee build. my first time buying from them and i went with them mostly because they had the best bang for buck. got the a arms and the right lower had a shock mount welded on crooked, very crooked. made a call they sent a new one no questions asked. got the new one today while nothing wrong with it fitmet wise, it is apparently an older design that collars around the lower shock bolt. where as the new ones, the ones i had ordered do not have. would have worked just fine but i am anal. so made another phone call. as soon as i told them the issue, they said they would correct it. there sending a new design arm 2 day fedex to make up for it awsome! we will see how this one is. i must say they have great customer service and stand behind there product. if my shee wasnt torn down to a bare frame waiting for powder coat id might be upset about this slight issue. the arms seem decent built, there are some under sized/under filled welds i might reweld. but for the price i am happy with them. even with these small issues. just my 2cents

got my frame gusseted and removed some tabs, before i send it for powder coat. any of you guys remove or make new wiring harness holders? the stock ones are flimsy and chip the paint if bent to much..

decided to rebuild my oem shock. its brand new still has the tags,supposibly set up for my 200lb ass. there 650 on ebay. i will sell er for 600 shipped. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

600 shipped. their 650 on ebay

so i just recieved my elka lagacy shock package. only wanted the fronts but it was cheaper to buy the whole shabang. the rear is pretty but heavy and i dont like the idea of clamping the resi to my frame. all its going to do is rub through the powder coat. cheapest price i got for a rear oem rebuild and revalve is 160ish. thinking of just selling the elka rebuilding the oem and using the money for other better parts for the build

not the kickern but the kicker idle gear. after removing it the bushing is worn.. research shows me this is a common problem Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

this is my first time tearing into a banshee. first the clutch boss is scuffed up on the outside. i couldnt see what could have been rubbing it, possibly from clutch tool from previous clutch replacment? second the kick gear on the stub shaft with the c clip has a bunch of side play, normal?

so tonight i cut the oem exhaust bump stops off. have a few low spots i dont like, will be filling in and re sanding before paint.. also im including pics where im adding gussets while keeping the oems in place. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

good thing i weld for a living and work for a company that has a fab shop about half the size of a walmart.. hehe Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

well ordered the whole alba kit, 1452 should be here next week

will get some tonight

so im doing a build, getting ready to weld gusstes to the frame. now ive messured every way possible with out putting a robot romer arm on it. and best i can come up with depending where and how i measure. is the frame is between 1/16th to 1/4in square from front to rear sub frame.. normal or no? i dont want to dumo money in a twisted frame

k thanka

so alba will sell me a lt kit with just the front shocks. only saves 342 bucks over getting the fronts and the rear, rebuilding the oem rear will cost 120-250. is the oem rear worth getting rebuilt or should i just get the new elka

upsate ny, my gussets should be cut this morning

just got off phone with alba, there long travel a arms brake lines clamps and just the front legacy shocks comes to 1,110... not bad

called a local shock builders, the fox podiums are indeed rebuildable and can be shimmed for proper stroke.. problem is the only adjustment is preload on the springs.. soo after paying for a set in good shape and getting them worked your looking a 400-500. not sure its worth it
