sheerider11 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Again with this, these 450 bikes are no joke. There are kicking some serious ass out there. The banshee is a all around pretty shitty set up. The 450 shocks suck. I had a set of works triple rates that I got for 200 bucks, night and day difference. Would fly all over with those shocks and would soak up everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprinklerman Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Alright thanks for the advice. Contact a member on here that goes by " Thack82". He can help your bike handle great! Itll be able to hit bowling ball sized rocks and you wont even feel it. He's a believer in the YFZ shock conversion too. You all will work well together on this project!

HomesteadBanshee Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm just asking because one I can find a pair for a hundred bucks, two I only way 150 while the banshee weighs a bit more than a yfz most riders wiegh more than me so I'm thinking the shocks wouldn't do so bad with me on it especially if I get them revalved.

It seems like you made up your mind already about the 450 shocks. So just get them then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you have figured out what countless people before you could not. Go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 there are Banshee arms on Egay made for yfz shocks, wether that would make a diff, who's to say? By the time yo get them revalved, will it still be cheaper than some works? No matter what, they are still to long on "normal" Banshee arms.

trickedcarbine Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 You're sort of close on the list of what you need, but your price question is rediculous. Look at any page online and add it up. It is possible to chip away at that price with eBay or even the classifieds here or even Craigslist by buying good used stuff. No on YFZ shocks..... Just No unless you have some special arms and the shocks revalved. Arms, just get +2 arms because in the tighter trails or woods you won't fit with +3 stuff. Maybe there will be a few spots, but if you get bottle necked it will be a bad situation. Swing arm, there are a lot of -1 or -2 swing arms that pop up here used. Just be patient and keep watching for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micorps1 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I went with +2 a-arms and compensated a bit on the offset for a targeted width of around 49". Another aftermarket part that has paid dividends is the dual gasser, which went right on with the a OEM throttle cable. It is hard to say how much I have spent, but I know it was expensive. The GPR was $600 alone. I recommend figuring out the direction you are going, researching the parts you will specifically buy and make a list.

micorps1 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 By the way be patient and wait for used stuff to come up for sale on the forums when people part out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
