locogato11283 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Just save your money and buy some shocks meant for the Banshee. The YFZ shocks are too long for stock width arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 they should fit right up. i wouldnt get them unless they are dirty cheap their better but not too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustynail Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 not everyone has 500 dollars for used works. if you do run YFZ's its best to have +2 a arms...i just got mine in the mail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas h. Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Don't go Yfz shocks unless you go all the way like Yfz arms conversion and relocated upper shock mount to get proper suspension cycle. My brother did the Yfz conversion and it does work and is cheap but if you don't relocate the upper shock mount or the lower a arm mount your ride hight will be two inches lower and your suspenision will not drop out. I.E. the shocks are at full extenion all the time like the springs need to be softer but then your ride hight will be even lower. Don't get me wrong the full conversion is way better than stock and the ride hight is ok. But real after market is better. The best would be long travel Yfz 450 frame conversion check my gallery for frame conversion pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06specialedition Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Save your money and get some used aftermarket shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 200 for all 3 and 120 for just fronts. Good? Or no? You can't run the rear, the yfz has a fork end which can't go on the shee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 They'll definitely "work", and be better than stock for sure. I wouldn't pay more than $75-$100 for a set, though. You can get aftermarkets for 150-200 easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
