Axion Posted December 25, 2005 Report Posted December 25, 2005 im looking at buying shocks from banshee's around my area i have a 4 inch extended swing arms but it has been moded so that stock shocks fit what other year's of banshee rear shock's will fit? i have been told any and i have been told some may have to be altered Quote
Hilarious Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 I think just about any year from 91 to current would fit. I would think you would be better off going with some aftermarket shocks that are set up for the wider a-arms. You would most likely bottom out with the stockers from the extra leverage from the wider a-arms. Quote

sheenut05mx Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 you'll want to revalve the rear shock if using the stock one with the exteded swing arm. GOLD VALVE makes a good valving kit for many applications.(dunes, MX, ect.) For way cheaper than buying a new aftermarket one. ALL the shocks are the same but Iam pretty sure that there was valving changes made over the years. Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 All years are the same. Colors change and that's it. An older shock may be more likely worn out than a newer one though. I'd revalve for a plus 4 if it was me. Quote
sanddragon2004 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 usutally with a plus 4 You can just change the spring, and you will be ok. an eibach spring is what i would use. Quote

The problem is the stock banshee shock is engineered so that is cannot(isn't supposed to be) rebuild. If you don't know what your doing you can get hurt or ruin the shock itself. We can help you just give us a call. There is never a charge for advice. Shane 219.313.1424 Quote
