trickedcarbine Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 The current 450 shocks are more for the ice/flat track, as well as the adjustment holes on the arms. Kinda how some old school open wheel circle track cars & late model racers would se up control arms. Set the height, and even put the out side tire up one hole over the inside to help shove the quad in to the corner. I'm sure come spring I'll con him in to a real set of long travel shocks for the trails. Quote
domestic_beotch Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Posted January 10, 2012 I'm running the 450 shocks for ice and I'll have to buy long ones for summer Quote
sidewayz Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 awesome . i love to see people with some ambition. i try to build everything i can with what i have . keep us updated . Quote
RZBansheeMan Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I love it... Keep up the Good work Quote
matt1 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Awesome build, I just finished my YFZ conversion and this looks like another project for the near future! How much would you have to extend the a arms to get to a 50 inch track width? If it was 50 in track width how long do you think the shocks would have to be to get a normal ride height? I love to see home project like these that can be done with basic tools, This looks like a good project for anyone with a little ambition. This might be what I do to build the wife a bike. Quote
domestic_beotch Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Posted January 12, 2012 I think I added 2 1/2" to the arms and I'll have to measure for the shocks this weekend. Can't wait to get some ice to ride! Quote
sidewayz Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Any new pics of it together? Id love to see some. Quote
domestic_beotch Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Posted January 12, 2012 And to think people thought it couldn't be done when I did mine. Or said it's to complex. Looks good man! How wide is it hub to hub? Yeah for real! Not too complicated. Just take a lot of measurements. It's about 44" hub face to hub face in the front. Quote
domestic_beotch Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Posted January 16, 2012 Sry no update pics yet. Spent the weekend working on Friends cars for free:( got the sway bar and +4 axle on tho. Went down to Komisar for some more parts. Got a tank, bars, pegs, hand guards, hardware, hubs, and more. I do need a small rear sprocket for use with 18" tires. Maybe 39 or 38 teeth? Quote
chris c Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 Can't wait 2 see this banshee run thru the whoops Quote
chris c Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 Can't wait 2 see this banshee run thru the whoops and hit the jumps Quote
domestic_beotch Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Posted January 20, 2012 Right on I can't wait to try some whoops and jumps. I took tomorrow off work to get some more wrenching time so update pictures will be comming Quote
domestic_beotch Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Posted January 24, 2012 A little progress like exhaust mounts, peg mods, +4 axle. 450 spindles hubs and front brakes should be here today. Quote
domestic_beotch Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Posted February 3, 2012 Made some tie rods and upgraded to 450 spindles/ brakes. Bump steer was fixed with some shoulder bolts and spacers. There is no safe ice here in lower Michigan and I really want to ride. Not happy Quote
muggzy Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 I feel like a perv watching someone else's wife get undressed. Looks sweet! Quote
