bertski077 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 i have a delema. i dont got 600 for sandragon n i can barely get 550 for quicksand. i called asr and they said that the shock would fit but they were concerned about the heim joint binding bc the shock is taller then a banshee shock. and if the bike sits 1 inch higher how is that going to affect my handling on the mx track? thanks.

ToomeySheeLE Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 After just seeing newly installed ASR arms (yamaha04's) in person, I really dont think they will accomadate YFZ shocks, I dont think they'd bolt right up on the bottom(unless you get out the grinder) and it looks like they'd rub the back side of the upper a-arms, as the YFZ shocks are alot fatter than stock banshees. I think ASR is trying to make a sale, telling you that they'd bolt right on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamaha04 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 i will have to agree with toomeysheele. i just put a set on and they are the shit other then the coating is kinda think and comes of easly. i think the shock will rub. its not that close but i think its alittle to close for comfort. they are pretty cheap thowe 328$ on ebay. so with the extra money you could save up alittle more and get some shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast Banshee Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) Its either just get shocks or get shocks and a-arms at the same time. believe me running +2+1 a-arms with stock shocks is useless you bottom out on everything not to mention you get a shit load of body roll in the turns.

squish Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 how bout suckin a dick cuz im puttin myself through college??? Wow what college do you attend? Seriously, saving money in a most inconvenient way is sometimes not always the best way. I put money in a can and write on the lid what the savings is for. This will help urges to draw from it and help only to put more into it. It is well worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally people have savings accounts in a bank. That way your money grows interest instead of just gathering dust in a jar. j/k :yelrotflmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick2stroke Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 It seems to me people are asking 180-300 for these stock yfz shocks. I see works BANSHEE shocks on ebay all the time in the 100 dollar range.. Why not get a shock made for your bike? Everyone is so dead set on integrating other bike components, sure it'll work but how good? I'm just giving you an honest opinion, I don't think the yfz shocks are worth it for what most people are selling them for if you can find a decent set of works. Goodluck with it, I hope it works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have them on any of my bikes if I hadn't gotten them for free and am too cheap to do anything else. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
