MonkeyBoy Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Now I know why some feel Meat is a whiney Bitch. I feel for you guy. Send me an invite to the pity party and I will come. But back to the subject at hand. There are very few Long Travel / Long Shock setups for the Banshee because the market is so small compared to the new four strokes. Most of these are by the smaller players in the industry. Many of the are fly by night companies, hence I am skeptical. Trust me, I am only trying to keep people from spending their hard earned money on crap. My a arms are crap. Better than stock, but nowhere near where they should be. When I can afford a change, it will be to Roll/Elka. Just my preference. It's easy to take a new suspension, ask a few questions, and find out if the manufacturer is trying to make a good setup, or just a few easy dollars. That's all I want to do.

Have been no indications on our part that would indicate that I hope. 384211[/snapback] Not at all. I asked you a few basic suspension geometry questions, and you answered them. Nothing in detail, but enough for me to get a feeling that you knew what you were looking for when you designed the arms. It's pretty easy to tell when someone has just copied what they saw on someone else's design, and have no clue what the design is for, and the effects on handling. Things like bump steer, ball joint angles, motion curves, and the like are not taken into account, and while it may seem better than stock, it won't handle like it should. I wish I knew all of this when I bought my suspension. I am just trying to save the next guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fabricators have worked very hard, to come up with a product that we feel is worth slaping our name on. But dont take our word for it. Feel free to contact Guys like elka and ask them about the Sanddragon Motorsports a arms and swing arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
