millsgerry98 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hello I have a 98 banshee I have been riding this machine for the past few summers and I have done a lot of reading on converting the front suspension over to a yfz450 front suspension. Now I am wondering what the best set up is for the front end of the banshee. What kind of mods need to be done to swap 450 a arms and shocks over to my banshee Thanks for the feed back and hope to hear some feed back soon.

So Cal Suspension Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 If you've been doing a lot of reading on the YFZ450 swap, you haven't read enough. The swap isn't that great. Like zillacock said above, buy some +2+1or +3+1 a-arms and even bottom of the line Works shocks would be better than YFZ450 shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I agree with matt......he rebuilt my triple rate Works shocks and they worked awesome. The worked so good they caused me to go over a section of road WAY faster than I was able to before....which meant I didn't realize the bump was coming up as quick as it was. Front end floated over the bump.....rear end hit HARD and my 2-1 filter fell off one intake and sucked up a bunch of dirt while leaning my motor out. I still blame matt for blowing my motor up......not because he did something bad.....more for the fact that he got me riding too fast. (matt im still waiting for you to send me a check for the rebuild of my bike! haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
