The caster problem is not as bad if you use the yfz spindles & hubs. I also put the dual piston calipers and master cylinder off the yfz.. But I agree it does still need a little less caster, if you have weak arms or race competively the yfz conversion is probably not a good idea.

I spent $250 total between ebay and a few friends.

I just finished my Yfz 450 a-arm install and thought I would share the info on what parts work best. Any 04'-07' yfz 450 arms (switch upper arms from right to left) Any 04'-07' aluminum spindles/knuckles 13 5/8" long tie-rod tubes or use grizzly tierods Any 04'-07- calipers and master cylinder (better dual piston calipers--be sure to use the YFZ 450 caliper bolts) 06' and newer KFX400,LTZ400,or DVX400 piggy back front shocks (perfect length and same adjustability as yfz's) DONOT USE HONDA 450R SHOCKS THE RESERVOIRS WILL HIT THE UPPER ARMS WHEN JUMPING HARD!!!! I used honda 450R front springs for a little softer set-up and I reused the banhee brake lines. I tried to used the stock banshee spindles but they made the quad hard to steer when going slow. ***THIS SET-UP WORKS GREAT AND I HAVE NO REGRETS LIKE I HAD WITH THE STOCK SPINDLE SET-UP***
