R1 Manshee Posted July 31, 2010 Report Posted July 31, 2010 Are there any of you guys racing on asphalt? Here is the deal, I couldnt keep the front end down on my banshee so I went with a +14 swingarm. It would still stand up so I made some bars to replace the front shocks. So now its solid in the front and it wont stand up and I can leave as hard as I want but it pulls to the right. Its not bad butt I thought I would try and make it better. I was wondering if you guys have done the same. I was thinking it would ride better if I put the shocks back on and built wheelie bars for it. If any of you are running bars what wheels are you using, a soft rubber tire or hard plastic ones like a racecar uses. Quote

Need some pics of the swingarm. BK Quote
