blubyyou Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I just installed a -2 lonestar swing arm...made a huge difference in handling and jumps much better. Not near as nose heavy. Also I run laeger +2 +1 long travel a-arms up font with elka triple rates and tcs dual rate rear shock. Haven't had it on the mx track yet but in the woods its much better than stock. I ride it more than my built LTR 450. Shorter swing arm and +2 or +3 a-arms makes a huge difference along with good shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick2stroke Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I agree with what Blubyyou is saying, the shorter swing arm is a HUGE improvement. Suspension for track in trail is going to differ. Track will be a lot more stiff and one would also want a wider stance. Trail in turn would be much more plush and a bit more narrow depending on the width of the trails you ride. You get what you pay for with suspension. It's not cheap unless you run across some good deals. I scored some killer deals on all of my parts and I'm at around $2450 for the major items. Axle, a arms, swing arm, front and rear shocks.

Elkas for sure. The fox floats are better on machines with a lighter front suspension. IMO, they are not the ideal shock to run on something nose-heavy like the banshee.

4psnu Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 elkas blow i would never buy them!!!! fox is a joke..... if your not riding on PEP your just not riding fast enough!!!! and by the way wayne the owner of PEP helped design the fox float evol for them, just food for thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunesovertrails Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Thank you very much.. you've been very helpful in my decision !! If you get a -2 swing arm then then the banshee isn't nose heavy anymore lol... Get the evols! You can get me upgraded from fox when the new ones come out and don't quote me on this but I think sometimes its free...
