05.Banshee.SE Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I haven't heard of anyone on here doing a reduction. (Yet) Only going longer...there's a lot of drag racers/duners on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washburn Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Na there are plenty of people on here with a -2 swingarm ask HollisterHitman about it. My expirence with one was Im a bigger guy (6" 310lbs) I really dont need to go shorter. Pros Ive heard is it hooks up much better corners 100xs better and makes the banshee easier to fly on You would need either a revalved resprung rear shock or a new one. Im running a rear Elka LT Elite shock on their pro dual linkage and it rides hundreds of times better than the stock setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its cool man, if you hang around the MX or XC sections of this board youll see alot more people with cut stockers or brandname -1 -2 swingarms. Looks like you can go either way with yours. Build it up to be a dune or drag machine or make it into a Flattrack MX or XC Banshee like I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na, if anything it will make it easier to steer. If your going over a bunch of shit Im willing to bet your front end already goes back and forth bars comming out of your hands so an aftermarket steering stem and a GPR stabilizer will cut that rite out for the up and down movement Fasst Flexx bars.

LOL! sorry...bell Jon shortened(-2") his and does hook better...but careful on what tires...he runs turf taimers (or however the "f" you spell it) and was lifting the front... he weights 145lbs so u might look at the sky alot? depends on the tire...but those banskee's...who knows :yelrotflmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
