dune goon Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 well i have a nice longtravel honda 450r which was great for jump but i became a man and trade for a banshee, so i have a few questions what are cheap ways to upgrade suspension what companies products are the real deal? secondly i like to sky my bike pretty hard my biggest jump is about a 60 foot double how big can you go on a stock suspension banshee before you start messing crap up? btw im a very light rider only about 135 lbs if that matter thanks! -zack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangheraent Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 doing any jump on a stock suspension banshee would be a tough task. This things are terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 the rear shock is decent but the fronts are Pogo sticks. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdgriff Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Go buy some elka stage 5 long travels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nastyracing Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Send rear shock to be set up by socal suspension first off. Second if you truely riding and gapping 60+ feet go get your self a custom axis long travel shocks and some custom arms made. Trust me it will be cheaper then your dentist bill after u kiss the bars with stock shocks. But if you are just a crazy hick n missing couple already getrrrrrr done remember take pics.

stevedu2 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 i agree with nasty.60 foot double equals 10 to 15 ft of air under quad and that equals call 911 on stock suspension.i went with +3+1 arms 4 -1 offset wheels -1 swinger +4 axle works std travel shocks set up for +3s and rebuild factory rear.i went std travel because im 41 and prob never jump 60 ft again lol.but if your serius go to long travel makes a world of a differnce.

dune goon Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 we also have some jump between 20 and 30 feet to flat pasture and they suck but the great landing we have on that double it soaks them up well, and about the picture im new here still trying to figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
