Juststrokeit Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 JFC.. Another one of these "give them top of the line shit and still wont spend it" type of guys.. We're not the ones broken.. I said "why is full flight so bad?" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juststrokeit Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 lol other then the fact you posted one of the most expensive chassis set ups in the market for the banshee..... key word... ONE OF THE MOST.... for under 2K your going to get the best bang for your buck and probably wont ever bother looking for better from what im seeing... You can opt to cheaper and be happy... but for a bit more you can get quite a bit better.... rebuild rear shock to your specs 450 ish front works shocks rebuilt to your spec 400 ish.... or brand new stage 1 elkas 599 ends up not far off from the stage 3 kit they sell for front and back at 1300 alba arms are 350 if I remember right as well... def a nice piece... my bud has em on his raptor with the "LT" shocks they can run. Great info! Thanks man! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett131 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I bought a bike with full flight once, I didn't like anything about them, they are junk. For the price alba is cheaper and better made imo. Stage 3 elka up front with +2 +1 arms will go a long way. Get the rear shock worked over and be done with it if you're on a budget.

Juststrokeit Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 According to a Google search.. Bansheehq members in 2011 didn't have much to bitch about when it came to full flight arms.....? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not like them because you had experienced something better? A lot of people like the elkas.. Sound like the ones to go with.. I felt more torture in the front than the back.. I really think anything is gonna be better than what I had.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett131 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 They are made shitty as fuck. The heim joints are junk, I didn't feel safe riding with them. They also annoyed me at how much noise they made....do yourself a favor and buy something else. Full flights would be similar to lighting money on fire.

trickedcarbine Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 You obviously don't have thousands to throw at it, so a realistic option would be to purchase nice clean used +2 arms for the front in the $275-450 range. Then quality used shocks. If you're patient, you can spot a set that is set up close to what you need/want. The rear shocks can get pricey for one unit, so maybe consider having a reputable shock company rebuild it to suit you. You could easily have a decent set up for under 2k. Just be savvy and do some research as to what's out there and what people's results are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray408 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 If you like riding around squeaking and making all kinds of noise buy those full flights lol I'm currently running lsr DC pro arms with elka stage 3 front and back no complaints here Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juststrokeit Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks guys! I guess I'll make a more definite decision at the beginning of the year.. I appreciate everyone's help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandSlingerOR Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Go cheap & get alba a-arms through jds & get works fronts & have the rear rebuilt & a tusk axle. I think you'll be really happy with that for not alot of money. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draggins10 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks guys! I guess I'll make a more definite decision at the beginning of the year.. I appreciate everyone's help I saw that young guns racing is going to try to have another sale on elka stage 3s, if you wanna wait Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juststrokeit Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Could I get the Elka stage 3's front and rear and the +2 +1 Albas from jds? Is this an option? And would everything be there that I need? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juststrokeit Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks guys.. Spending that much money on the suspension I'll do another $100 for the lt.. What about the rear? Just tusk axle and the Elka rear shock be good enough? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juststrokeit Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I don't think you need a longer swingarm, so stock will be find. Wider axle is great. Thanks man Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
