Bad Notch Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hey guys, new to the forums and quads for the most part. I know jack about suspending a quad so with that being said I am doing a full on suspension refit on my stock 99 lol. Im 35, mainly trail and dune, minimal jumping but not hardcore due to not wanting to fuck my self permanently. I bought the Banshee last year with a mild motor build and over this past summer, ended up with shifting issues after a couple of rough days at the dunes. So I ended up doing a stock crank .30 ultra high comp build with drag porting on the stock cylinders. Bike is crisp ! So, I decided to tackle the Suspension because the stock shit isn't keeping up. Here is what I have on order and should be here relatively soon ( ebay whore ) : http://www.ebay.com/itm/361227333031?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT These are going to be setup for my riding style and weight 190lbs. http://www.ebay.com/itm/380629972392?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.com/itm/291015452603?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.com/itm/321599271060?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.com/itm/121914236841?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.com/itm/201599972100?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT So now I need to tackle the rear.. Looking for swing arm advice from start to finish. I think stock or +1 would be sufficient for my type of riding. Does someone sell a full kit with everything vs piecing it together ? Or could someone give me advice on which parts I need ? I would prefer to have the bike squared vs wider in the front. I have no experience with this what so ever.

Sandking Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Fireball makes a great swing arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I'm typically anti-eBay, but no one can beat ATV Galaxy suspension package prices. What kind of motor in the Benzo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Fireball all around. Shocks, I'd go with Fox Floats or Elkas for what you're doing. Nice AMG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 I give no fucks about the bike. What's the story on the boat? Looks to have a center pod, so I'd assume a West coast boat of some sort, but the sponsons don't indicate that. Maybe an RPM Redline 26?

Bad Notch Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Yes its a RPM Redline 26. 565'' BBC with a 4.5L Whipple. been 140 on GPS. I sold it a few months ago and am currently shopping for a 32 Skater with # 6's and big power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandSlingerOR Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 If your thinking of getting a fireball swing arm, might as well go aarms to.get his long travel aarms & long travel elkas. He's a site sponsor, but that eBay kit you linked is really good as well. You shocked me I expected to see full flight junk, or cheap alba. All those links you sent are top quality top can not go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) I just built a Banshee with basicly the same components that you listed, we bought everything from I-shock.com, witch worked out great, they have lots of packages too. We did Long travel LSR DC arms with elkas, and long travel Elka in the rear also. The only things we ordered directly from LSR was a -1 MX swing arm. and a plus 2 stem /clamps. Id personaly would skip the Fasst Flex bars, waste of money... imo Again I-shock set us up with really good service and a package deal that saved us some shipping costs. I have LSR +3 front and Leagers -1.5" on my shee, and with be going Fox Gen 3's shocks like whats on my other quads.

Yeah the Flexx bars and anti vibe stem and all the other stuff ( not a arms because of the wait for silver powder coat ) has already shown up.

I know Im going to need some pointers on dialing in the suspension. Was that the one in Indiana that was for sale early summer with TCM power? Yes it was. Went to Havasu. NGAF! LOL.. If you're ever around NW Indiana Ill give you a ride in something fast . Edited December 20, 2016 by Bad Notch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Notch Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hey Fellas, a little update. Bike build has commenced. Have the stem up stuff done for the most part. I am using ASV Levers, My current clutch cable doesn't have enough length with the ASV adjuster all the way in. Does somebody make a longer cable setup ? What clutch cable are you guys using ? All in all, the Fast Flex bars are pretty interesting. They feel a little squishy so that will take some getting used to. I will be moving on to the suspension and shocks this weekend. The Control arms are adjusted all the way in. Does anyone have a " base " adjustment ( how many turns out or measurement ) to get it kind of close ? All the help is appreciated ! Pics : JR getting her ready. I was going to take some pics as we stripped the bike but we got too caught up in the disassembly to snap the pics. Ohh well Fast Flex bars and stem already installed... Grips and controls... Saturdays project :: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
