YFZ450 Front Calipers on Banshee

[sj820]

I am waiting for a set of YFZ450 calipers and spindles that I purchased off of ebay recently to arrive and I am going to attempt to upgrade the front of my Banshee. My Banshee will have a hybrid front end as I am going to use YFZ450 calipers and spindles and I am going to purchase some Raptor front hubs and rotors and I already have YFZ450 front shocks and +2+1" a-arms. I know that I will only be able to use Raptor or YFZ450 hubs on the 450 spindles but what I am not sure is if the Raptor and YZF rotors are the same size. I trust they are close enough or I will have to use YFZ rotors which is the least of my worries! My main concern is the difference between the Banshee and YFZ spindles. I hope I do not run into any issues with the YFZ spindles on my Banshee a-arms. I do not believe that the drill hole for the tie rod ends or the ball joints are any different between the YFZ and Banshee spindle. If someone can confirm this for me that would be great!!! I have found some posts regarding Raptor spindles on Banshee a-arms but I have not seen anything about putting the YFZ calipers and spindles on the Banshee. I am confident that this will work but I do not know why I have yet to hear of anyone else doing this especially since the YFZ has been around for 3 releases now. Does anyone know of anybody that has done this upgrade. I would like to talk to someone who has been through this or knows someone who tried this as it might save me some time and money!!!!! Many thanks fellow Banshee peops!!!

the taper for the stud on the spindle may be different on the yfz than on the banshee. since you have 2+1 arms I assume they have removable balljoints/heims so all you may need to do is get YFZ balljoints and put them on your arms. I think the brake rotors are the same.
