Thanks in advance Josh Quote
ThE_BaNsHeE_mAn88 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) i have a 88 also and it doesnt seem to handle to bad to me but i havent ridden anyother banshees. i flip my rims in the back and it gave me like 1.25in on both sides so it handles decent.

Bill Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 I have A 89 and it handles pretty good for me,they do make A kit that you weld on to make it A a-arm frame.Or fork out some dough and get some good shocks. Quote
phx450 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 Where are you riding the bike? Track- J-arms suck Desert Racing- J-arms suck Dragging the hill J-arms are lighter! I broke plenty of j-arms back in the day, unless your dragging , ditch them. Quote
Bill Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 I ride mostly wooded trails and it does get rough sometimes,just make sure you avoid the big stumps and rocks! :yelrotflmao: Quote
