Building my First Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 I have a 450 setup right now but I came across a good deal on a new chrome Magnum +2/+1 set. What do you guys think will hold up better? Quote
wizeass2005 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 I have a 450 setup right now but I came across a good deal on a new chrome Magnum +2/+1 set. What do you guys think will hold up better? I would go with the magnum fo sho. so that way I can buy the yfz setup off you. haha jk. Are you running yfz a-arms on your shee also? will they fit??

locogato11283 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 stay away from the 450 set up on a banshee. go with banshee arms and banshee shocks. 450 arms will work on a banshee, but they are not ideal and you can obtain a better ride from using banshee related arms and shocks. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted December 18, 2009 Report Posted December 18, 2009 Good call loco, the 450 arms are ok ..........JUST OK compared to actually spending money on banshee style stuff. Reason being is because of the geometry of the ball joints is way cocked and very much in a life span shortening position. If you are gonna do a full conversion including spindles and all the other goodies, then ok, but for the price of all that You can find a very nice setup DESIGNED for a banshee. I guess if there is a way cheap setup off 450 you know of and absolutely don't wanna hold out on the more expensive stuff O.K. I personally love the armadillo arms on my shee and thay are less then any good looking 450 components on ebay. Quote
Hank Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 What year 450 a-arms will fit on the banshee? Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 What year 450 a-arms will fit on the banshee? all of them except for the new style frames. 2004-2008 will for sure work, but again I stress not using this setup for a banshee. it just doesnt work that well. Quote
camatv Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 and actually youd probably be happier with just putting a banshee motor in a yfz frame.. Quote
Hank Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 Thanks, I'll stick with what I have...H Quote
35thLS1SS19 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 i jus got my 450 swap dialed in with ltr shocks and i LOVE it. 10 times better then stock! But i haven't ever ridin on and banshee set ups and a also only have $150 into mine. SO i cant beat it. It was tricky getting to work. I went with new spindles hubs and arms. Quote
GrMeyer Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 I have always had +2+1 arms for my quads and it (='s) a much nicer and stronger ride. I would go with the Arms made for the quad Quote
