Yfz 450 Arms

[bansheeman8]

Hey I was wondering if any knows if the new YFZ450 a-arms and shocks will fit on a banshee?? A guy on my team(www.ghettokidzracing.com) has a 450 and just put long travel on it and I know his arms and shocks would be better then my stock ones. SO just owndering if anyone knows??

I asked that same ? in another forum. The shocks will, if u grind the arm a little. Someone just posted how to put 450 shocks on a shee, do a search. The 450 arms look like they will, but i havent measuerd. Maby, u could borrow ur friends, and let me know. Also, do u know if they r any wider, cuz if not, then y waste the time and money? just a thought. Ive been wonderin this ? for a couple of months. Peace out.

They are wider how much not sure, but I do know the spindles from your shee will bolt to the arms.I measured them at local dealer ship to make sure they would. The only thing is the raptor and the 450 spindles will give you about 1 inch wider on each side.Just bolted the roptors on my shee yesterday.The ball joints and tie rodends are the same on all three.Like bronco91 said just getem try em if he will let you,Good luck

The spindle swap is not a even swap if you use rapto spindles you will need to use raptor hubs the shee are wider tan raptors,but everthing else will bolt up.They both have the same lug pattern to so you can run you shee wheels.

yeah man, i'm really interested in doing this too since i'm on a real limited budget...i know i'm probably going to get the shocks, but the arms would be a plus too.....if you find anything out let me know......thanks

I'll get one of his arms and measure it and post sometime this week

from what ive read recently, the arms will not fit, but the shocks will. The shocks are like 1.5" longer, but will work. They work the best w/ +2's. u do have to grind the mounts to make them fit though. I guess they work great, do a search here, more ppl have info on this topic. Peace out.

Is the taper the same on the ball joints?

ok I know its been a while for this post but the a arms will fit but you have to do some fabrication. The minimum of tools you will need is a welder and a dremel tool. the lower mount for the a arms towards the rear of the quad needs to be cut off and relocated about 1 inch back, use the 450 a arms to make sure you tack it in the right place. The next thing is trim the shock mount so the 450 shock works. Then you will have to trim the top 450 a arm about a 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch. this is to make the a arm clear the shock otherwise the a arm will rub the shock you will also have to cut the insert in the a arm also.The next thing is to make a spacer for the front of the same a arm you cut the spacer will keep the a arm in place and keep it from sliding foward.Once you have done that you will have to install a 450 tierod put every thing back together and go ride.
