The Banshee Front End Mod?

[89 Banshee Man]

Will 2009 Raptor 700 Arms work for this mod?

If you are referring to the "yfz450 arm swap" the answer is yes. The 700 and 450 shared the same upper and lower control arms.

Ok Thank You. Also will tie rods work off the 700 or will I still have to get the hubs,spindles,and shocks, tie rods from the 450?

No you need to get either +2 banshee tie-rods, custom tie-rods at 13 5/8" length (not including rod ends), or I've read that Grizzly 700 tie-rods work as well.

 

You can use the stock banshee hubs/spindles but you limit the arm travel. It would be best to get the (450) hubs/spindles and people seem to like the yfz450 shocks with the conversion.

Do yourself a favor and spend the money on some "Wicked" arms and put some 450 shocks on it. The 450 swap just doesn't work as good as banshee suspension. Wicked arms are $350 brand new and have a lifetime warranty. Cant beat that.

I may have to check into the "Wicked" Arms. Is there a sponser link on here?

Thank You guys for the info as I know they did cover most of this already. Just have raptor a-arms that I picked up for $40 that is why I asked if they would work.

i did my 450 arms for the same reason.... got them for 30. i used ltr shocks. It is 20 times better then stock! Eventually i might upgrade but for now i cant beat em.

I sure wish I could find some arms for 30 or even 50 bucks would be cool.
