So Cal Suspension Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 I would like to improve my ride on my 89! are their kits available to accomplish this or should I track down a different frame? You could go with a different frame, OR, you can get ahold of Tim at Stellar, and get a set of his +2 J-arms. Some guys like the j-arm frames because they are lighter. I don't know HOW much lighter, but they are a little lighter than the a-arm frames. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 Just get +2+1 arms from Stellar and good shocks=done. Or might search e-gay for a kit, good luck with that. Quote

87sheerips Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 I have +2 +1 Jarms on my 87 frame. its the only way to go man, plus you keep the originality of the classic banshee frame. That means a lot to me. Quote
06specialedition Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 Stellar is the ONLY way to go IMO. Tim is a great guy and builds top notch products He built my +4 swingarm, and I will be having him build me some +2 a-arms soon. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Don't recall who else has J-arms but seems they were about $100 more than Stellar , just wish he would get his site back up. Quote

That means a lot to me. I hear that I would like to keep original I love when people see my Banshee and can't believe the age! Quote
andrew3160 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Tim at stellar will take care of you and use ball joints strong enough for your style of riding. Some competitors will use smaller heim joints and are all most likely drag/hillshot J arms that are not suitable for trail riding or jumps. I just picked up a set of +2 +1's from Tim and they are second to none. Tell him you are a banshee HQ member. Quote

I was wanting some idea for a j-arm bike I can jump with, possibly mx, etc. I'll have to call him too and see what they can do because I have an opportunity to snag a j-arm frame, and as this is a common issue, I wanted to try it anyhow Quote
