bigcountry61 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I ride trails and will do a lil dragging on street... I weight about 300lbs. Is the yfz450 front setup ideal or should I just stick with a stock banshee setup ? thanks for the feedback in advanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertdeweller Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 with your weight no offence meant you would be better off with after market shocks imo. You can then have them built to your riding style and weight. Which will improve trail riding alot. besides the stock banshhe shocks are horrible and not rebuildable. longer arms will make the bike a lot more stable on the trails also. If it were me I think I would go with new arms and shocks but thats me. you can buy after market arms in all types of configurations. Everything from stock width to 4" wider, non adjustable to partial or fully adjustable with caster/camber settings. so there are some things you might want to consider depending on exactly whay you do and what you might or might not need.

bigcountry61 Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 So you guys agree that the 450 conversion is a waste since I would have to buy aftermarket shocks? I guess what I am getting at is: should I do the 450 setup with aftermarket shocks or banshee aftermarket a arms +2 or more and aftermarket shocks ? I ride trails and will drag a lil... I am smooth 300lbs lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
