Bansh-eman Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 It would not be too smart to dune them. I am sure they could handle a laittle abuse, but they are not designed to have the hell beat out of them. I would get a set that are built to dune. Contact Stellar Performance and get a set built.

I also just got 2+1 j-arms and need to know what shocks are best to use? Elka seem expensive, are there other shocks to go to the dunes? Ride alot, drag a little. Thanks.

Slickgib Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 why dont u get a pair of the yfz 450 shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Elka's are good but your going to pay for the name. Find you a set of used Works and you will have a totally differant bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansh-eman Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 They will make your bike ride lower than stock Banshee shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfatman Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 That only with YFZ Arms Greg. The YFZ Shocks are an inch longer than the Banshee Shocks. They will do one of two things, either lift your bike up quite a bit, or apply a bunch of pressure to the balljoints, trying to pull them apart. I never recommend running yfz shocks on a banshee unless the arms were built for them. As far as the drag arms for duning goes. You really need to ask the builer and be sure to tell him what your idea of "duning" is. Some guys consider duning as cruising through the sand, going from one bowl to the next, others consider it as jumping over every crest, and riding quite hard. I havent seen too many sets of +2+1 Drag arms though. Are you sure they are not some recreational arms? My j arms are from RDZ racing and they're 2+1 chromoly with heim joints. From what I read it looks like Elka would be the best bet. What are your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
