Before i get a list of what banshee specific shocks i should buy i just want to say i only have about 150 left in my build budget

 

i found that my shocks are blown i just want i cheap replacement for now but not stock i wanr better if u can

 

I found these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-Srx-Front-Shocks-KYB-Rebuildable-/160763481787?pt=Snowmobile_Parts_Accessories&hash=item256e400ebb&vxp=mtr

 

they are a little short at 13.5 eye to eye and have adjustment screws

 

After research i found that the snowmobile is 500lbs and set up for 165lb rider banshees are about 380 and i'm 250 so pretty close

 

 

What you guys think? i cant get these for 100$ all day on ebay

 

Also Matt would the zl440 shocks u tried ould be a better fit?

 

i ride 4th -5th gear wide open trails

I believe mine would be way too soft for you. I was about 190-200 at the time, and they were cushy for me. At 250 you'll be way too heavy for them

 

Those shocks appear to be a 36mm body, with a 12mm shaft. Pretty close to the stock ones.

 

The geometry on a banshee vs a snowgo is completely different. Snowgo shocks are mounted extremely close to the outside edge, creating less leverage. They typically are softer when you put them on ATV's, because there is more leverage on the shock.

In a shock that small, it won't matter to you. Ignore what I said. Higher oil displacement means more accurate valving, and better cooling, yada yada yada.

 

I've seen used Works non reservoirs sell for 150-200 on here on a pretty regular basis. I'd hang out and watch the FS section and see if anything comes up before you spend your budget on shocks that may or may not work.

Yeah i have my eyes on a set of single rate non ressie works but I just saw those and they seemed like a lot of adjustability and we're about 100 cheaper plus I'm thinking the works would be just as soft given my weight without rebuilding if u don't think they would at least kind of compare to those works then I guess I'll have to fork up the cash
