NOS_350x Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Looking for a swingarm to race flat track with, and input from guys who have ran shorty's as far as good or bad experiences..... Ive been running a -2 on my banshee for a while now. I would say its much more important on a banshee than a 450. It makes it much easyer to get hooked up. -3 was a bit much Quote
sinisterboo Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Posted December 28, 2008 With the minus 2, what type of link did you use? and thats what I will be up against, buncha 450's. I have raced before, but am new to setting up a banshee to turn! I have been just making em go straight fast! Quote
NOS_350x Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 I feel that in flattrack the rear suspension is less important as it is on say a motorcross. I run stock linkage with a cut down 250r dogbone with stock shock. As long as your rear shock is good the stock lowered suspension seems to fair well. The front is much more important, a good set of shocks and swaybar are very important. then some wide a-arms. Quote
peterlocal22 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 i run a minus 2 and love it. i dont ride flat track but when compared to my stock arm it really grabs and with the wheels right under your body, hang on because the front will shoot right up, lol. i would highly recomend the minus 2. as for the minus 3 i dont know never ran one but it seems alittle much. esp. if you have nerf bars because they will def. be rubbing the rear tires, but i would imagine you flat track guys just run pegs? so maybe it would work, like i said never ran a minus 3. good luck and let us know what you get peter Quote
sinisterboo Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Posted December 29, 2008 I already have a nice set of +2 a arms, and it has PEP triple rates on it, I just moved the circlip up to lower the bike, but with no pre-load, I definately need a swaybar! I have the swaybar from when I raced my blaster years ago, thought about cutting it up and modding it to fit my shee.. Quote
ban99 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 cut down your stock swinger and see how you like it. Worst case if you don't like it just buy anouther used one off e-bay for $40. Quote

2B1ASK1 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 I might get a negative 1 for my shee as well. I am building another one as well, and will extend that one. Quote
