Shock Recommendation

[goat089]

Hey, i was hopping you guys could give me some advice. Im building a drag bike with a +10 swingarm no link and a suzuki GSXR 1300 Busa motor. In your opinion would the fox floats up front and a podium in the rear for the stock banshee be a good option for suspension?  The motor weights 220lbs and Im 135lbs 99% for hillshooting

Yes. That's what I run on all my drag bikes.

awesome, is there anything you would recommend when I order it since im not running a rear link and the added weight? or just order one set up for a stock shee and it should be in the ballpark?

The fronts don't need any specs.. You just need to order the right length. OEM Banshee is 14.5".

Fox does not build Podiums for extended swingarms. They don't know shit about that kind of stuff.

You will need to e-mail Mike at ATV Galaxy. [email protected]

Tell him you talked to Tyler at BansheeHQ and that you need a Podium for your bike.

He will want swingarm length and rider weight..Since it's not exactly stock, you need to get a weight of the entire bike and add your weight, so he can figure out what valving and spring you need. Then he will send the specs to Fox.

Sounds like a plan, thank you sir.
