locogato11283 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 the increase in width adds stability to the bike. going +1 forward helps to keep the front end down a little more because it pts the weight of the tires a little further forward. if you go with a set of +2 arms, you will want to consider an aftermarket shock or even a set of YFZ450 shocks. the stock length shocks will be too soft and spongy for the additional arm length. a long travel setup is a longer arm that uses a very long shock to achieve more travel. those setups are generally pretty expensive and the regular rider will not notice the difference in ride between a regular arm setup and a long travel setup. what kind of money are you wanting to spend and i can help put you in the best possible direction?

NickisGod Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 i disagree loco, long travel rocks. yes there expensive and not many people manufacture them. the banshees chassis really limits the suspension travel and the handeling that modern day atvs offers. janssen and roll design are the 2 companies i know about that offer long travel setup and there both big $$.
