blazinlow Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 will it fit is it longer or shorter than stock and will it bolt up without any changes??? also how about yfz 450 shocks on a 89 banshee. is there a length issue and what are some ways to fix it to work thanks for the help Quote
race-a-holic Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 I think one of my friends put a raptor axle in his banshee after he bent his old axle.I believe it's a little narrower.Should work. Quote
super88_banshee Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 They work but they are about 2 inches narrower than a stock banshee axle Quote
blazinlow Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Posted November 24, 2005 so the sprockets and rotor are in the same place ill just loose a inch on each side??? how about the yfz 450 front shocks ????? Quote
Soupbox660 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 I have first hands experience on the axle and shocks. The axle is 2 in. narrower, but you can turn your wheels over and get some of that back. It fits fine in the housing. As for the YFZ shocks. They have to be on the lowest compression settings, and you have to grind the upper mounds and you have to grind the a-arms. If you want full detail, I can send you pictures and instructions. Quote

Had to just grind from the end because the bolt holes were to close to the a arm and the shock was to thick to clear it. It helped alot I couldnt believe the difference, but my banshee shocks were shot anyway. Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 yes craptor axle will fit. im pretty sure a warrior one will also. as for the 450 shocks, i did all my grinding on the shocks. i didnt do anything to the arms... Quote
