lower banshee.

i have noticed that others use a R6 rear shock and 300EX for front shocks. my question is as long as a-arms are stock can i still use the lowering kits that re-angle the front shocks? and still use the rear lowering link?

 

yes im a noob and theres not many places to ride in RI, so i want to street and flat track it. like everyone else in this economy im on a budget.

Don't use those lowering kits for the front, just get shorter shocks. Lowering links work decent in the rear.

I have seen ppl use blaster shocks on the front and they had no issues

[trickedcarbine]

Blaster shock is 14 inches

300 ex shock is 13

Both are readily available and cheap on eBay. Take your shocks off and put a floor jack or blocks under the bike. Adjust it to where you shock eye holes are at both of those lengths and decide which is for you.

 

As far as the R6 shock it is fine, but really stiff unless it's on a longer drag style swing arm. It is a lot more headache to get bushings or machine it opposed to just grabbing up a greasable lowering link for the rear.

what is the length of a banshee shock?

[nastyracing]

Fronts are 14 3/4

 

Rear 14 5/8 if not mistaken

[Dispicablemee]

then a blaster front shock wouldnt make that much difference being only 3/4" longer. guess 300ex it is

[So Cal Suspension]

Rear is 13.63"
