Shock length to fit yfz 450 arms

[JoeSA]

Hello, banshee boys. Just want to hear from you guys.. what shock lengths will fit the shee with yfz450 arm conversation. Im looking to buy Elka stage 1 455mm or 17.8”. Will it work? Any advice would be appreciated

Spend your money on Banshee parts, not 450 parts.

^ This. Alba long travel arms are cheap and will be close to the shock length you're looking at (call for 17.5"). There is a lot more to shock setup then proper length though. You need to know about valving, spring rate, uncompressed and compressed length, otherwise there is a good chance you're just wasting your money.

I already fitted the 450 arms and shocks. Will these ones fit or not? I am running 450 shocks at the moment but would like it if the front could lift a little.

Just because you afro rigged shit together, doesn't mean you made them work. YFZ450 a-arms will not work on a banshee frame. Stop being a dumbass and run the correct parts.

As long as the trash can is tall. 

 

Guess we're all being honest. So that means we're assholes. They have a misfit Facebook group that would be glad to coach you along on your ball joint killing death trap.

Not bragging, but years ago I read every thread on this subject. 90% said it didn't work, 10% were to proud (or stupid) to admit it.

I'm just a carpenter, I could put a Ford starter on a Chebby, but that doesn't mean it will work
