m671054 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Posted August 18, 2014 Pm sent to doc at stellar to see if they can clear this up. Quote
m671054 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Posted August 18, 2014 Looks like 450 shock is 1" longer. Wonder if it has more stroke or if its all in the lower eye? Aftermarket 450 shocks probably provide a little more travel. Quote
BANSHEE HP Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 I just got some stellar +2+1fwd made for yfz shocks, which i had. I think it sits a little low in the front with the stock yfz shocks, theres a little left to tighten on the spring that I havent got a chance to mess with. Quote
m671054 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Posted August 18, 2014 Could you get some close up pics? What hubs do you have? Are you concerned with the lower shock mount design? Looks like alot of leverage on the mount Quote
BANSHEE HP Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 Banshee spindles and hubs. Yes, the shock tab location does some what worry me, I wont realyy be jumping or beating this bike through whoops. However there are other ppl out there with this setup from stellar and I haven't heard any complaints Quote
docjcwatson Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 Messaged recieved. Thank you Burke for thinking of us! You're my boy Blue! Banshee HP nice set up man! Yes. Stellar Machine and Performance does make Banshee A-Arms for YFZ450 front shocks. The J-Arm and A-Arm Banshees both share the same lower arms. So doing the conversion on either is no problem. We do need to know at the time of ordering whether 450 shocks will be used or not. The lower shock tabs need to go in a different location in order to; A: Clear the YFZ shock (Ie. grinding down the tabs so the shock will fit) B: Keep proper ride height and arm travel due to the 1" longer shock. Our arms are designed around stock Banshee spindles and should be used to keep proper alignment and ball joint travel. You can call me at the shop (520-481-6946) or message me anytime. If I don't know. I can always find out! Quote
m671054 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Posted August 18, 2014 Anyone have a 450 shock stroke measurement? I would like to know from bumper to base of body when fully extended. Eye to eye should be 15.75. Whats the travel? Quote
trickedcarbine Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Tried to look but keep getting a arm travel numbers and they all vary on arm. I'll try to see if I can compress mine tomorrow for you Quote
Atomic Monkey Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 I could never find the measurement either. I took em apart and measured... can't find that either. But I want to say its somewhere around 5" Quote
