ThE_BaNsHeE_mAn88 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) i have a 88 also and it doesnt seem to handle to bad to me but i havent ridden anyother banshees. i flip my rims in the back and it gave me like 1.25in on both sides so it handles decent.

Bill Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I have A 89 and it handles pretty good for me,they do make A kit that you weld on to make it A a-arm frame.Or fork out some dough and get some good shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phx450 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Where are you riding the bike? Track- J-arms suck Desert Racing- J-arms suck Dragging the hill J-arms are lighter! I broke plenty of j-arms back in the day, unless your dragging , ditch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I ride mostly wooded trails and it does get rough sometimes,just make sure you avoid the big stumps and rocks! :yelrotflmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
