Tyler702 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Recently picked up a 99 banshee for A killer deal and I decided I want to powder coat some parts and Just go through the bike and rebuild it being it was neglected for a while. This is my first banshee and so far I've been having fun with the bike. I got some questions. Can anyone identify these a arms? I have no idea what brand they are or anything like that.https://postimg.cc/gallery/21CM2kr what is the length on the standard Oem a arms? And axel? The guy I bought the bike off said that they were long travel A arms but I don't think they are then again I'm not sure. I was looking at the alba racing long travel kit with some elka stage 4s on the front. Or maybe even the legacy kit that elka has being it comes with a rear sock as well. But im not sure yet any recommendations would be helpful. I plan on getting the frame PC along with the swing arm and rear carrier.. how does this rear axel look? You think if I just cleaned up the rust and all that I could get That PC Or should I just spend the cash on a new rear axel? https://postimg.cc/7J5S5Xdw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boris Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 From what I can see, just a clean up would do for the axle, up to you tho what you want. Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandSlingerOR Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Those are Lone Star a arms. Get a matching rear +2 axle to match vs cleaning up the stocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really lone star a arms?? I checked their web sight and couldn't seem to find them so I'm assuming they are an older model being the upper arm has a spacer you put between em. And all their newer stuff looks like it's a solid arm.. Would I be able to run some long travel elka stage 4s on em or only standard length? I was looking at the alba racing +2 +1 arms with the LT elka shocks. But if these are in fact lone star then I could save some money there. I'll have to look into that +2 axel The bike is almost stripped down just gotta pull the steering steam out and it should be ready for PC.

SandSlingerOR Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Yah they are older lonestars with those plates on the bottom that always rusted there. They will be only for standard length shocks. I ran those lt alba's before they are pretty decent, you can get a tusk axle for $199. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't happen to know why the inside front rim is hitting the bottom arms on full lock out would you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
