bigblockbanshee Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) I'd run 'em and wouldn't think twice about it especially if you can come up with some better shocks such as YFZ450 shocks or Ohlins, Works, PEP, etc... Good thing about the Full Flights is that they make them with the necessary mods to mount the 450 shocks so all you have to do is notch the upper mount on the frame I believe.

06specialedition Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I saw them on e-bay and was wonderin if they are worth a crap? I haven't heard anything bad about the full flights. But for the money, I would call Tim at Stellar and have him build you some.....you'll be happier IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I woudlnt run any a arms with Hiem Joints. They suck. Eventually they will become loose, squeek, and pop. I ran a bran new pair of ASR arms for about 3 weeks before I sold them for 150 bucks with brake lines just to get rid of them. If squeeks, rattles, and pop's describes your banshee then I am sure they will be fine for you. If you wanting a nice a arm then I would look else where.

sand geek Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I've had Full Flight's +2s (off Ebay even) on my Banshee for the past 2 years. Wheelie landings, jumping, even take em to the woods once in a while. No real issues to report. I did wear one of the aluminum bushings about 6 months in...pinged Full Flight to ask them about it, they sent me a whole new set right away, free of charge, no questions asked. Customer Service seems to be great with my one need for it. A little maintenance keeps the squeaks and rattles away. sg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

252wheelieking Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I run full flights with no problems @ all.....PB Blaster the joints & it never squeaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Grab the top of the tire and push it in and out. After a while you will feel play in the hiem joint. WD40 or any other oil will attract and hold dirt. It is a nonsealed joint and dirt and sand is going to make its way in. The penitrating oil just masks the problem A ball joint is sealed. The boot keeps the grease in and the dirt and water out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
