1000dollabill Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 just wondering who has dealt with them? was planning on putting in an order for some +2+1 j arms, elka duners, and new sand tires and wheels all around. i know everybody says to do the a arm conversion, but i'd rather keep the 87 in my banshee. are the sanddragon j arms any good? keep in mind i mostly dune. will they withstand aggressive jumping etc.? last question, should i have just have my rear shock reworked or drop the dough for a new rear? i have a gsxr 1000 also, and i've never touched any of the suspension adjustments in 2+ years. adjustability isn't too much of a concern. thanks in advance. bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruko Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I have no experience with j-arms but Andy at Sanddragon is great to deal with... definately recommend him. Their a-arms are top notch so I would imajine the j-arms are just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruko Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) Also I got my rear shock rebuilt by Shane and it works awesome. I've never rode on a aftermarket rear shock but Shane's works great. Way better than stock and way cheaper than buying a new aftermarket one. I would definately recommend him as well. The next post says his inbox is full but here is his phone #219-313-1424 Edited December 19, 2005 by Ruko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 They build one hell-of a swingarm or rather dragontail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 You really sure you want to keep the j-arms? They go through bushings like crazy and are less safe than a arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1000dollabill Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 i think so. haven't had any problems with em yet. put some serious beating on them at the dunes last trip. bushings aren't a huge deal to me. those sanddragon arms look tough as hell. not to mention my frame was recently powdercoated. i'm open to other's ideas, however.

korndawg Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Bushings are cheap. I'd say stick with the J-arms. I just think it's kinda cool to still see some of the old 87's still running around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight_ripper Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I just purchased a 5.6 Ims from them. After I got it cleaned up ended up being a really nice tank. My dealings with them so far are pretty good. Hopefully they like my resume and want to have their stuff on my shee. I'd love to run their stuff all around. Would have to be the right deal tho...considering I got sooo much in my LS setup. I think they are a Fox Shock dealer too. Im real curious as to how they perform too. Thanks again for the tank.
