fuzzypickles Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Hey guys. I picked up a nice banshee but it was lowered in the front with aftermarket shocks. I picked up a project Banshee a few days ago and attempted to swap the stock shocks from it to my lowered Banshee and strangely enough, they dont fit! Stock a arms, stock frame, stock shocks, and the shock eyelets dont fit in the mounting holes on the frame upper mounts... They dont look bent in any way and appear to be too strong to bend anyway. I dont understand it and need my banshee to have more than 5 inches of ground clearence for trail riding. HELP Quote
sidewayz Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 ill swap you , mine are stock. i use the shorter ones for flattrack. Quote
fuzzypickles Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) ill swap you , mine are stock. i use the shorter ones for flattrack. Like i said... I tried to put stock shocks in my banshee and they would not fit... It had short shocks when i got it but if i cant get my stockers to work then the short ones are going back on with spacers...

sidewayz Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 didnt you say they were blaster shocks ? measure the width of the eyelet on the stock ones you have . Quote
fuzzypickles Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Posted January 17, 2012 didnt you say they were blaster shocks ? measure the width of the eyelet on the stock ones you have . They are stock banshee. Theres no logical reason they wouldnt fit my banshee Quote
sidewayz Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 grind off some of the shock eyelets untill it goes in. Quote
Phelps Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 dude just bent the damn tabs back out..... yes they are easily bent in when the wrong one's are used Quote
fuzzypickles Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Posted January 17, 2012 dude just bent the damn tabs back out..... yes they are easily bent in when the wrong one's are used Okay. Whats the best way to go about that? Adjustable wrench on the tabs and hit with a hammer? Vice grips clamped to the tabs and hit with hammer? Quote
sidewayz Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 vise grips will work fine, clamp em on tight and bend the tabs back out untill they fit. Quote

Trick2stroke Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Just use a crescent wrench and adjust it down flush on the tab and bend them back by hand. I've had to do this on two different frames in the past. It's not difficult to bend them. Quote
Dicklez Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Porta Power FTW!!! Come on man its not 1/2 plate. Quote
Coupelx Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 use an adjustible wrench and a cloth so you dont scratch the shit out of it. Quote
