YFZ Shocks

[Travis's Banshee]

Guys:

I'l start by saying I searched and read what I could find on this conversion.

My question is. I really don't want to grind the upper shock mounts on my PC'd frame. Has anyone ground a little material off the top of the shock body to get the necessary clearance?

 

 

Thanks

I did the bottom mounts, but i gots a raptor. Looks like I needed to do a little on the top too. I dont think your gonna get away with out grinding.

Ya, probably not, but I was hoping to do the grinding to the shock, not the frame.

 

Thanks

Dont be afraid to grind the frame a bit. It is perfectly fine and you will hardly notice if done properly.

I didn't grind anything at all from my upper frame/shock mount. I ground off slightly on the top of the shocks.. and works perfect. I did grind the lip off the rear of the mount on the a-arm (bottom). But aftermarket ones don't even have that lip, so that doesn't affect anything. I MX and am consistently jumping and beating on them and I've got nothing but good things to say about the setup.

Thanks for the info. Thats what I was hoping for. How much did you take off the shock?

 

Thanks

minimal..i basically made the tops flat instead of rounded. I was real scared to go too deep. It's really much easier than I anticipated. If you just sit down and start doing it, you'll figure it out. Just take off a little then keep going as needed.
