mason07shee Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 i want to widen the shee with aftermarket a arms and shocks but i seen the yfz conversion. I dont really want to start hacking my bike together but it looked like with the yfz setup with hubs and spindles it got a better turning radious. i am just going from what i am reading on her and if that is true i will go with that setup because i ride aloy in winter down old fire roads in the winter wide open drifting like a flat tracker but also ride real agressive in the woods and on the track in the summer and am just looking for opinions. oh and would it be better to use an after market yfz arm or stock? money really isent an issue i just want a better steering radious and a wider bike if possible. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lepew Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 If you want a better turning radius slide your weight to the inside, grab some front brake and throttle and hold on you'll turn in your tracks. The yfz front end has bad geometry when put on a Banshee frame. I suggest quality aftermarket arms and aftermarket shocks designed to fit.

bk_banshee Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 For a better turning radius make sure you don't have offset rims. I can't tell you how many people say a bike turns like crap, and they have some offset rims so the frontend will sit a little wider. When you turn your tire you want the center of the tire over the balljoints for best turning capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
