2005SEBANSHEE

Wider is better... Denton sells their rec. arms for pretty cheap. Much stronger, not to mention wider than stock. They could put you together a package for a good price

They were works answer to elka's first shocks, and have remained pretty much unchanged since then. I've heard that they dont have the valving down for the banshee's... could have changed though. I like the looks of them

...so you should have enough to buy elka's

why dont you wanna go a little bit wider?

You only need to post once buddy...

a set screw cost about .25... and no issues with the nuts lining up.

when it's a hundred and ten outside.

I guess it all depends on the trail... I live in the desert where you take take advantage of as much power as you can afford. But when the competition is 50hp 450 thumpers, you dont need to spend much in that department to be at the top of your class in desert racing. Suspension is another story

I know some companies make the +2+1 arms, and dont advertize them as so. In my case I really wanted the Denton arms when I was looking but I thought they were only +2... called them and to my suprise it's an advertizing mistake. They are +2+1. So you may want to call first. You want your front end wider than the rear end slightly to ease recovery. It's harder to flip under hard, rough cornering becasue turning radious in the rear is reduced, thus reducing the posibility of your rear end passing your front. The back end tends to disagree with the front, so you want the front tires planted.

I think with the right gearing, and tires, any shee can be trail ridden w/ out too much concern

Electrical tape serves great as insulation for wires... that's about it though. Get it hot, and it gets all gummy, and doesnt stick anymore. One very easy solution to this problem is drilling and tapping the out side nut and installing a small set screw. I've messed w/ locktite in the past, but if the surface is dirty when you apply it, it doesnt really do it's job. The LSR locking nut is the way to go I think. But the set screw can get you buy just as well.

How does it handle in the choopy whoops?

You can really feel the inch forward. You feel less bump transitioned through the bars. I would get +2+1's

If you can hold on to your shee for 8 hours, I'll happily race you. I dont do 'quick races'. Parker 250 starts at 7:30 am!

It'd be great if they'd make a similar linkage setup for the stock length shock.
