doing a complete rebuild... what front susp setup is good fit?

[bigcountry61]

I ride trails and will do a lil dragging on street... I weight about 300lbs. Is the yfz450 front setup ideal or should I just stick with a stock banshee setup ?

 

thanks for the feedback in advanced

with your weight no offence meant you would be better off with after market shocks imo. You can then have them built to your riding style and weight. Which will improve trail riding alot. besides the stock banshhe shocks are horrible and not rebuildable. longer arms will make the bike a lot more stable on the trails also. If it were me I think I would go with new arms and shocks but thats me. you can buy after market arms in all types of configurations. Everything from stock width to 4" wider, non adjustable to partial or fully adjustable with caster/camber settings. so there are some things you might want to consider depending on exactly whay you do and what you might or might not need.

all depends on ur $$$ flow and how much u wanna spend

id go with a set of wicked +2 +1 a arms and a nice set of works shocks

thats wut i got and alot of guys on here have and they love that set up

 

prolly lookin at around 1500 or more just for the front set up

but y stop ther get a matching shock for the rear 2!!!

So you guys agree that the 450 conversion is a waste since I would have to buy aftermarket shocks?

 

I guess what I am getting at is:

 

should I do the 450 setup with aftermarket shocks or banshee aftermarket a arms +2 or more and aftermarket shocks ?

 

I ride trails and will drag a lil... I am smooth 300lbs lol

definetly get wicked or other brand +2+1 a-arms and buy shocks that are valved for your weight, riding style, etc.
