kyburner Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Whats up guys. I have a banshee frame with a cbr 900R motor in it. I am in Iraq right now and had the bike picked up by my dad the other day. It needs a ton of stuff done to it. But my question in here is, what would be the best route for me to take on the suspension. I plan on dragging it at the local 1/8th mi track. It is asphalt. I seen drag struts on ebay? Is this a good option? I dont plan on spending a ton of money on this thing its just for fun, but I do want it to perform well on the strip. Thanks for the help guys.

kyburner Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Are struts the best routefor asphalt drags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4strokekilla1987 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Imo yes they are that's what I run on mine but remember u will need ether a wheelie bar or a extended swinger and in some case somtimes both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyburner Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Well it has wheelie bars on it now. Ill be changing the frame quite a bit when I get home the guy who built it didnt care about looks much and it is UGLY. So Ill be cutting some off and redoing parts of it. Can u show me some pic of what u have available for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyburner Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Ok I gotcha. Man I have a little bit of experience with drag racing cars and trucks. With somethnig bigger the right spring load and shock firmnes is very important. Can u give me some insight to why u would want Struts like these with no give or adjustability on firmness or softness for a bike? Others have told me the same thing, to go with these, I just want to know the reasoning behind it. Thanks again man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4strokekilla1987 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 struts make the bike sit lower and also help with traction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
