Damm I have never seen that before and Im about as curious as you are

It does look cool as hell though, is it alot lighter than a stocker??

Hopefully someone here will have some good info on that one.

i have never in my 10 years riding banshees seen one of those. im wondering if thats a one off custom piece.

[PACIFIC NW BANSHEE]

I have not weighed it yet .And if it is a one off it is damm nice piece somebody put some time into it.

I've never seen one of those before. I'm with loco, looks like a 1-off custom piece.

[Ieat4strokes]

Damn that's nice! Somebody spent some time on that bad

boy!

[flyhighprerunner]

that thing is pretty sweet, is it extended? Can we get a full picture?

I just went a wieghed a stock swinger, 17lbs. What does that one weigh?

[PACIFIC NW BANSHEE]

So it looks like it weighs just a hair over 10 pounds and it is a + 4 over swingarm. I will post more pics tomorrow also came with crazy billet bearing carrier

I have been doing this since 1993 and I have never, ever, seen a banshee swingarm like that.

Where did you come across that arm? I made a +4" arm for a stock carrier that looked kind of like that about 8 years ago and I let it go with my old yellow bike when I was still in skool..........

[bbcmudtruck]

So its 7lbs lighter an 4 inches longer!

Now correct me if i am wrong but isnt unsprung weight a good thing to an extent just like on a car. If your leafs are over your axle then the weight of the axle will smooth out the ride? Btw very nice swinger for sure!

Generally, you want as little unsprung weight as possible (even on a car). You smooth out the ride with the design of the suspension, not unsprung weight. Unsprung weight is usually something you "deal with" instead of designing it into a suspension system.
