freddy Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 the main difference i noticed was the the j frame was alot stiffer than the a frame and a little heavier i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharader Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 stiffer all around (suspension travel is less on the j-arm bikes front and rear) thats all i ever noticed, actually the j-arms models were lighter says the ole manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I have a J arm and rode a-arm i see no difference. j-arm is lighter 14 pounds i believe but i couldnt notice it. the only thing wrong with them is how the ones that no nothing about them talk shit. my shee is a 87 and i would bet its better then half the newer a-frame bikes on here.

xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 nothings wrong with a 87. i look at like its the first year of the banshee and i want to keep it that way. i have a 98 frame but i wont use it. eventually i`ll cut the BS off of it, possibly get it powder coated and sell it. shees what i enjoy. i have a long way to go until its done.

Meat Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I have a J arm and rode a-arm i see no difference. I agree, i had both frames and you can't feel a difference. My first banshee was an '88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to sell the 98 frame? I bet you could use the $$ to spruce up the 87??? I'm looking to build my wife a Shee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
