Rauls17 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 My springs are fading and I wanted to see if you guys could tell me where I can get new springs and how to put them on and if I can do that my self or I need to have a professional do it thanks in advance Quote
Coupelx Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 Its probably not the springs but the shock itself that is shot. sounds like a good time to find some aftermarket ones. Quote
Infamous039 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 I have a set of stocks shocks if you want them for cheap ?? Quote
Rauls17 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Posted October 31, 2011 Na they work perfect I just wanna replace my springs cause there ugly but they work perfect were could I buy springs Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 You will not be able to purchase aftermarket springs for the stock shocks. Removing them without a proper spring compressor is probably one of the most dangerous things you can do on a Banshee. If you want to paint the springs, slide some paper up behind the spring to protect the shock body and shaft; tape off everything you don't want paint on; and rattle can the shit out of them. 'Bout your only option without having someone remove the springs for you. Quote

Overboost Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 shock covers, shock covers, SHOCK COVERS Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 shock covers, shock covers, SHOCK COVERS Shock covers generally cause more damage then good. They trap moisture, dirt, and other debris inside the shocks. I do not recommend anyone run them, and also do not warranty any of my work, should the customer decide to run shock covers. They were an idea based off of a design for offroad/racing shocks, to keep rocks from pitting the shaft. They were a semi-rigid cloth sleeve, that was open at the top and the bottom, and JUST covered the portion of the spring where the shaft was exposed. Somehow the ATV market completely missed the mark with this idea and decided that enclosing the shock completely was a good idea... I'm not knocking anyone for running shock covers, but just realize that you may be doing more harm than good by running them. Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 Yep, those a tually serve the proper purpose, and work well. Just not the Velcro/elastic fabric ones. Quote

Every dirt bike I took out to the sand started pissing oil at the rear shock so I bought covers for my Banshee. Are you saying that it would be better for my Axis shocks to take the covers off? Quote
duramaxsmoke Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 i like those carbon covers pretty expensive or what Quote
