cmyyard19 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 What next? Over the winter I have been working on my banshee and was wondering which direction I should head in next. I mostly trail and field ride and I was thinking of either sending my jugs out to be ported or investing in new shocks and a arms. Which would be a better direction to head in?

rebelbanshee2 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 SUSPENSION!! you will be way faster on the trails with good suspension that with an engine that is too fast for the stock setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Duece Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 SUSPENSION!! you will be way faster on the trails with good suspension that with an engine that is too fast for the stock setup amen....if you can hold the stock bike pinned then get more motor, if you cant.... suspension and chassis mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeweet Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I'm going with suspension first, rebelshee is right. And that's one badass GT2, or is it a GT3 in your sig? I have a buddy with a GT2. He has the grey metalic one that Porsche used in the Int. car show circuit when the GT2 first came out. He paid 214,000 for it and mostly drives it at open track events.

richybanshee Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 How about getting both. Or Suspension and a timming plate 3 degrees advanced. porting would be a nice touch also. More power over handling. Both ways are a great improvement over your current mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranshee Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Definitly suspens, you can only go as fast as your bike can handle. And as it is banshees handle like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranshee Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 If you do trail riding I think you might want to g with something with at least a dual rate for technical riding. For a arms I am just going to go with quicksand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmyyard19 Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 The action racing A arms seem pretty nice they have a life time warranty, and adjustable the ride height. What type of shocks should I go with? (works, elka, pep, axis) I want to try and spend under a grand if possible for the a arms and shocks. Action racing has kits for 1100 that come with their a-arms and Works triple rate shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotulMonsta Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 You can go with a + 2 front end and have a deaper offset to set it in an inch or so to clear tight woods. You can run what the pro's run, a +3 long travel but that's money. Not worth the cost on a banshee...unless your makin' money with it. I suggest a +2 width, +1 fwd with a -1 swing arm. you retain the stock wheel base but move the weight a bit more to the rear. With shocks, I'd say get custom axis all around, they won't let you down and they are very durable. But they are expensive. Works is a good entry level high performance shock as high performance shocks go. everything else falls between those two companies. I also recomend getting res. to enable you to control the damping and preload. Rebound adjusters will eat up travel so it's a trade off. I recomend rebound adjusters too..at least in the rear.

Ducman Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 For your riding, suspension, but porting would cost a lot less $. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNEDEMON Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 also recomend getting res. to enable you to control the damping and preload. Just to clear this up, a resivior will not affect the pre-load one bit. Rebound adjusters will eat up travel so it's a trade off This is also wrong. Compression or rebound adjusters on a propperly set up shock will not reduce the amount of travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelbanshee2 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 quicksand arms and elka non adjustable dual rates with a rebuilt rear shock is the best bang for the buck in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
