LT vs ST is it worth it for the LT premium on a Banshee?

Is the general thought that getting the YFZ front shocks and A arms are not worth it vs getting aftermarket? -
So a 2009-15 YFZ450r rear hub will work on a stock banshee axle, and increase width 1.5 inches per side?

Mine get pumped up with a works connection hand pump when I ride. I think some of the pros use nitro though. -
easy decision I will go with K&N. I figured there has to be a reason they are less money, Im sure they are not made as well.

That is an awesome explanation. I like a soft ride in the whoops and rough, that was what was steering me towards the LT. I have ridden 3-5 hour trail rides on my honda with CRF air forks and it only uses air. I have not noticed any kind of change in performance during the ride, but then again maybe Im not good enough to notice. -

Everytime I try and go down the drop downs to select the correct setup the drop downs freeze up on this site for me. I have noticed this the past few days. -

Thanks man, good catch. Im going to call elka tomorrow to discuss LT vs ST, legacy vs stage 3, then call alba and confirm. Im leaning towards alba as I like springs better then air. I have a 15 Honda CRF250r with Showa Tac air forks and I get annoyed having to check air pressure in both inner and outer chambers before every ride. I do like the adjustability of the showa setup but I like to just sit it and forget it...you cant do that with that fork. Maybe the Fox system is not as bad as the showa TAC. -
Hey guys I see the knock off K&Ns are significantly cheaper then the OEM K&Ns. I have heard that the knock offs dont have as high of filtration media, and less pleats. Has anyone had any issues with the knock offs? I planned on getting some 6 inch angled ones to go on some 35 PWK with outerwears.

If its only $120 then I agree, you do get some more travel, for not much cost....but will that little bit more of travel be noticeable? IDK,maybe, maybe not. -

I will do both. I want to understand difference between stage 3 and the legacy also...is the only difference a steel body!?. -

I was looking to do a Tyson +4 inch rear with stock rear. I need to call fireball, and Alba tomorrow to get the scoop on travel difference of ST vs LT. If its only .6 inches more on a +2+1 then I will just go with the ST. Tyler what do you think of the Float 3 vs Evol R vs Evol RC2? two options below Im considering. I dont plan to do any competitive racing. Just ripping around at Silver lake sand dunes, some trails (maybe 2 times a year), and around family property.

I already sent an email to the seller asking what the shock length is on that one, and the stage 3. Im curious what your rear setup is...stock swing arm? What shocks and linkage? -

Thanks, that is great information. $2k is out of my budget, I was hoping to be around the $12--1300 range. What is the Eye to eye length on your shocks? Do you think there is much improvement of a Laeger LT a arm vs an alba LT a arm? -

.6 inches more over ST? I would stick with the ST also. -

Tyler your looks sick. How do your like your shocks? what is the eye to eye on them? I have seen several used fox floats on ebay, was thinking of just picking up some LT arms and find some used Foxs. Is yours a +2+1? -

A arms are only $120 more, I believe shocks are much more. I am trying to confirm on a few auctions on Ebay. -
Im looking at doing an elka legacy setup with Alba +2+1 ST. Im wondering if the upgrade to a LT setup is worth the premium in cost? From what I have read a banshee can not really do a full LT setup with just A arms.
