Holyman Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 I'm getting a direct mount {no link} swingarm but I I don't want to spend $700 on a shock. Has anyone ever tried a sled shock or a car air shock on a banshee? probably handle pretty good with airbag suspension Quote
bansheefreak Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 when i had my banshee i would put a r1 shoc in the back for my once a yr flat track race worked awesome... cus it lowers it plus i have suspension... unlike most guys just use a tie down strap and pull it down solid.... here is a pic... this is prolly not what your looking for but just showing you can use other shocs...

frocashmoney24 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 use a airride suspension, jsut gotta throw on a pump, tank, airbag, switch..they you have a fully adjustable air bag with your ass over it....but seriously, that r1 shock aint to bad of a idea Quote
Holyman Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Posted January 14, 2005 How long is the R1 shock and how stiff was the ride? How much was it? Are they different for various years? Quote
SICK BOY Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 You can pick up a R1 shock on Ebay for pretty cheap. Quote
Holyman Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Posted January 14, 2005 I see that. WOW... be great if that will work. But anyone got dimensions? Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 For my project bike I was thinking either 2 Marvin Shaw Competition shocks, or running 2 street bike shocks like the other mentioned. Quote
bansheefreak Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 i'm not sure of dimensions but it fit right in there you have to grind a lil of the shoc bushing but fits right in there.. i know my banshee sit bout 3 inches lower...on my shoc i used my caps on the bushing then just put them back when i took it off.. as for ride will its not air ride but it works for what i wanted it to do.. it lowered my bike plus gave me a lil bit of suspension unlike some guys solid stuff...

bansheefreak Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 ohh and price they are pretty cheap on ebay i got a 03 real cheap... Quote
Holyman Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Posted January 14, 2005 Is the shock easily adjustable or is the shock rate fixed? Quote
bansheefreak Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 it has a turn dial like a banshee shoc.. i think but i have to go look at it i have not seen it since sept... and only used it once so far.... Quote
