FlatTrackinIt55 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 im wanting to get some new aftermarket suspension but dont know what to do,. should i convert it to an a-arm banshee and go from there or can i do something like buy denton racing j-arms and some new shocks. and also what kind of front and rear suspension do you short-track and TT guys suggest for flattrack? thanks, Blake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tats4life Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 the denton racing j-arm stuff is real nice....i have a buddy that has it but he mx's...i don't think it would work to well for tt or st...not to much adjustability.....just my .02's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proquad101 Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I had a friend that had a j-arm bike and he had the a-arm kit put on it and got some ricky stators. He didnt have any problems with it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John19 Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 (edited) They make a j-arm conversion kit so you can run a-arms. I use the quicksand a arms +2 +1 with some works dual rate shocks that are about 2 inches shorter than stock shocks with a swaybar. In the rear I have a lowering block so I can adjust the height of the rear. I have a stock adjustable swingarm its set at -2. Some people run a direct link shock set-up (proquad101) and they say you get more traction, also you don't have to worry about dragging the bannana on the ground.

cdw Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 D34, jinx44 and Proquad101 all have great set-ups. I'm sure they will have some good advice for you but you might have to spend a little coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
