Mosconi Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 Hello Just got my fireball a-arms today and they're nice! But I need new tie rod ends to use with the fireball arms so where can I get some good quality tie rod ends? Found some one Ebay but feel like I can get better ones. As for shocks I'm looking at these https://www.hsdracing.com/Elka-Stage-5-Race-Front-Quad-ATV-Shocks-pair-Prodview.htmlHas anyone tried them with fireball a arms?Or should I go for something else? Also I live I Norway so need everything shipped here. Seen some websites not supporting international shipping Sent fra min SM-G975F via Tapatalk Quote
97Screamer Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 Look good. If those are 12mm tubes I'd recommend oem yfzr tie rod ends. If they are 10mm tubes I'd recommend getting 12mm😁. Get Fox or Axis shocks. If you go with Elka order them through a builder and not through Elka or a website. 1 Quote

97Screamer Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 I bought oem LTR450 tubes and ends to use with my Fireball arms. They are 12mm and the proper taper and length to use stock banshee stem and spindles. Elka is notorious for sending shocks out that are poorly setup new which is why I say to order them through a builder. Fox and Axis do a much better job out of the box in my opinion. 1 Quote

gusto Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 You sure those arms never shipped with 12mm tie rods? buy Stadium shocks. Quote
Mosconi Posted October 1, 2019 Author Report Posted October 1, 2019 You sure those arms never shipped with 12mm tie rods? buy Stadium shocks."New redesigned Banshee Long Travel EGC(extreme ground clearance) A Arms. These arms with the factory offset rim, will be 50"wide. Arms require 19 1/4 inch shock. Comes complete with ball joints and tie rods, to work with your factory tie rod ends. Pictured 50%black. Order any powder coat color. Fits Banshee years 91-2006. Arms are built when ordered. We strive for fast turn around time."At least for the long travel arm they made it so you use your stock tie rod endsLooking for shocks but having a hard time finding websites that sells.As for elka's they are everywhere I see would it be an idea to buy shocks on Ebay?Sent fra min SM-G975F via Tapatalk Quote

gusto Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 My fireball arms cane with 12 mm steering/control rods. No ball joints though. Quote
Mosconi Posted October 1, 2019 Author Report Posted October 1, 2019 My fireball arms cane with 12 mm steering/control rods. No ball joints though.Really? Gonna take measurements one mine tomorrow. But as in the arms they sell on their website now it says it's for stock rod endsSent fra min SM-G975F via Tapatalk Quote
gusto Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 I may have had them upgraded but don’t remember. Had to take back my tie rod ends and upgrade to yes 450 ends when they arrived. Check out Stadium shocks. They’re Canadian and will save you some money over US companies Quote
Mosconi Posted February 25, 2020 Author Report Posted February 25, 2020 Still have not found any shocks for my banshee and im done asking for companies / builders to build for me. So i have found these on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fox-Shocks-Float-3-EVOL-RC2-Front-Yamaha-YFZ450R-Roll-Design-Long-Travel-19-5/361377908850?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3D6dd2dde64954444cb24847e893e08568%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26mehot%3Dlo%26sd%3D173156121745%26itm%3D361377908850%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2060778&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507 Can i use them with my fireball a arms? i measured 19.5'' extended Quote
McGrawz Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 Looks good but too bad it doesn't have any review of performance and fitment. Quote
