LiveFast Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hey you guys, I'm new to bansheehq. Anyways, I'm getting ready to start on a build, starting with a bare frame. I plan on starting with the rear first. I was thinking about going with Laeger Swingarm, and an Elka shock but I'm not sure. It's my first Banshee. Could you guys maybe give me some suggestions? Thanks, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacko2000 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 ^^^anything is better than stock so yea Elkas will feel amazing If your pocket allows I had have stellar build you some a-arms and swingarm for your style and setup than get some custom axis shocks Do it right the first time and you'll never look back I guarantee you that! But if your just a weekend warrior and don't have 4k to drop there are many good a-arm company's out there pumping out good arms for 400.00 bucks Elkas, works, axis, fox etc will all be night and day over the bullshit stock suspension! Hawk the for sale section there are always smoking deals there but you gotta be fast as a mofo around here Good luck Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mootsman Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I would be honest with yourself about exactly what you want to do with the bike (riding style, terrain, etc) and that will tell you where to spend your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveFast Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I will be doing some trail riding, maybe racing, hillclimb a little. There are no dunes anywhere near me, it's all mountains. I also have a 06 crf250r so I won't be riding the banshee every weekend. But I want something that looks really good and will surprise you everytime you ride it.
