A-arms...

[dynabanshee]

The answer is probably no, but are there any cheap hacks to widen the front end. I know you can go with yfz450 arms, but I'm not a cut and weld kinda guy (but hmmm, maybe an excuse to become one). Although they sit a little low for me as I like to get air borne a bit. The wheel spacers seem like they'd crack or bend the lugs under hard riding. Are there any arms out there that fit the banshee with little effort and work well. I'm looking for a better front end, but $400+ on arms is a little more than I can spend right now.

 

I was wondering if it would be possible to extend the front mounts out and why no one has made a bolt on like that. Maybe to much weight, would look silly or not that structuraly sound.

 

Let me know if anyone has any tricks for this, or if you have used set of arms at a cheap price.

you can fix that problem by getting long shocks for the yfz450 a-arms. i think thats the best shortcut u can get instead of paying 500+ for +2 a-arms.

Since when can you use YFZ a arms on the ol shee? Didn't realize you could do that.

Maybe I'll look at the YFZ shock option a bit more. I know someone had pics of their bike with them on it. Maybe we can get some close ups of the fab job? What type of welding do you do when fabbing the frame like that?

 

And yea, I watch ebay for them. You can get a new set which look pretty good for about $370. I am looking for a used set for around $150, but I think it is going to be hard to get them for that price.
