Im looking to buy Elka stage 1 455mm or 17.8”. Will it work? Any advice would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Spend your money on Banshee parts, not 450 parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97Screamer Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 ^ This. Alba long travel arms are cheap and will be close to the shock length you're looking at (call for 17.5"). There is a lot more to shock setup then proper length though. You need to know about valving, spring rate, uncompressed and compressed length, otherwise there is a good chance you're just wasting your money.

JoeSA Posted March 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I already fitted the 450 arms and shocks. Will these ones fit or not? I am running 450 shocks at the moment but would like it if the front could lift a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YFZ450 a-arms will not work on a banshee frame. Stop being a dumbass and run the correct parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 As long as the trash can is tall. Guess we're all being honest. So that means we're assholes. They have a misfit Facebook group that would be glad to coach you along on your ball joint killing death trap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Not bragging, but years ago I read every thread on this subject. 90% said it didn't work, 10% were to proud (or stupid) to admit it. I'm just a carpenter, I could put a Ford starter on a Chebby, but that doesn't mean it will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
