2005SEBANSHEE Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 To be used with a aftermarket shock? Any idea how much they're asking for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 The link seems cool but you know they are going to want atleast $1k for the shock and a couple hundred for the link too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005SEBANSHEE Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 It'd be great if they'd make a similar linkage setup for the stock length shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmcbanshee Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 It's 1300$ for the shock and linkage. I would like to try it for see the difference... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washburn Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yeah Cody just told me about it. I dident get a price on it yet though but it cant be more than a couple hundred. Im definatly getting the Elka Elites all around too with that linkage but it will probably take me another month or two of saving but I might be able to swing the scotts steering stabilizer too :biggrin:. Now Im just wondering if I should get +2+1 or should I be cool with the +2 Laegers? Hmmmmm. It took me so long to save all of this money I want to be sure I have the best components avalible!

Hollister_Hitman Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 nice find I will probaly get that when I order a new rear shock but the stock one seems to do good with the -2 swing arm. washburn: I would get +2+1 arms. I love mine. I have never rode with just +2s but They probaly don;t even compare to +2+1. Taking some of that weight of the front wheels helps a lot.

2005SEBANSHEE Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 You can really feel the inch forward. You feel less bump transitioned through the bars. I would get +2+1's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollister_Hitman Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 yeah, I wouldn't evenn consider buying +2s after riding with +2+1's. you won't regret them. They make it a whole new bike. then add a -2 swinger and you have a whole new bike again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why cirten big name A Arm fabricators only make the +2... As for shortening the swingarm I need stock. I would love to shorten it -1 or -2 but the long, long, super steep, rocky, rutted, hills I climb wouldnt like that at all :biggrin: Other than that Ide do it in a second.

I think most companies just make the a-arms and don't think about what the banshee really needs. I don't even know if they offer +1" forward for any other bike than the banshee and blaster.

Huh, now that you mention it I cant recall riding any racers with +2+1 it was always +2 and Ive never rode a Banshee with +1 forward. I dont think I did anyways. Someone did mention with the shorter swingarm it is a good Idea to go +1 on the front other than that you really dont need it. I really gotta do my research on this one. Cody Buchanan will be the deciding factor in my purchase due to his expirence with all of the bikes hes rode/raced and built. But Im open for suguestions.

Washburn Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Also what is the biggest benifit of your +4 axle? I can see it 2 ways 1. being more stable and taking less stress off of the front end 2. being to bulky and hurting cornering and whoops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollister_Hitman Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 well your front and rear tires hit the same lines if you have the same width front and back. Also it is more stable. I heard that it is better to have a wider front end though, but mine handles great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
