    a arm ?

    If your not using a long travel shock then it should mount in the same spot the stock shock mounts. This will keep your ride height correct. The extra 3 inches will make it a bit softer up front due to the extra leverage though. Nothing you can do about this. Take a look at our a-arms we make for the Banshee. It will get you an idea for shock mounting. You can see the difference between standard travel and long travel. The long travel moves the shock mounting point a couple inches further out. This allows a longer shock to be used. http://teamalbaracing.com/i-13567307-honda-trx-450r-adjustable-long-travel-a-arm-honda-trx-450r.html
  2. The Alba Racing arms offer the most bang for your buck by far. They will work as good as any other +2 setup for half the price.
  3. Alba Racing will have the nerf bars above available in black and silver in about 2 months. They have built in wide foot pegs and heel plates.
  4. Alba Racing has long travel arms that have an adaptor that let you run your stock shocks. This way you can use your stock shocks then upgrade to long travel shocks if you ever feel the need with the same arms. http://teamalbaracing.com/i-13568041-yamaha-banshee-350-adjustable-long-travel-a-arms-21.html
  5. Go through the carbs. Make sure they are in sync. Like surfjag said check the slides maby 1 or both are in backwards. Also 125psi for a ported banshee is very low. 125psi is stock. I would shoot for 150psi if your trying to run pump gas.
  6. -2 Swingarm will work great for motox or tight trails. I used to own Doug Eichners old motox banshee which had paul turner pipes and a -2 swingarm. It handled great. However I had to run knobbies in the sand if I wanted to even have a chance of keeping the front end down. 2 inches makes a big difference. If your riding hardpack you will like it. How ever I to agree with everyone. PT mid range pipes suck. Doug Eichners full built Duncan racing mx engine made 52hp with these. With FMF fattys I made 59. Ya the PT made more mid range and had much less of a hit. But if that is what you want buy a 4 stroke.
  7. Get the Alba Racing arms. You cant beat the bang for your buck. I love mine.
  8. I have the Alba arms on my abnshee. I purchased them about 10 months ago and they are looking and working like new. I installed them pretty easily with no mods.
  9. I am also looking for a swingarm for my banshee. With the plus 6 how much does it affect steering?. I need help keeping the front end down. I only ride in the sand. I am having a tough time picking a length any suggestions. BTW my banshee is ported with a milled head and t5 pipes.
  10. I put the Alba arms on mine and love them. I am running them with stock shocks. Made a big difference.
  11. I have a banshee with a Alba ported engine with milled head and t5 pipes. I only ride at glamis (sand dunes). My question is I need a longer swingarm but dont know how long I should go. My front end loves to come up and it makes it hard to control. I dont race or do crazy jumps. I am thinking from +2 to +6. any suggetions.
  12. I have been running the Alba arms for a while now. No complaints. I am cheap and running stock shocks but it was a big difference over stock.
  13. I have the Alba arms. I am using them with stock shocks and I love them. I ride in glamis and they smoothed out my ride a ton. The shocks are too soft to do big jumps but I dont do that so I dont mind. It is also quite a bit more stable. I was going to put on some elka dune edition shocks on it but I am going to spend that money elsewhere.
