2002shee Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 I'm looking for new +2 +1 a arms but I want to keep my Yfz shocks. Should I get ones for use with stock length shocks or extended shocks? Also my budget is kinda limited so has anyone heard of Fullflight? The price is right. Here is a link to Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BANSHEE-2-1...029670391QQrdZ1 Quote
Hollister_Hitman Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 I have only heard bad things about those a-arms. Do a search on them and you'll see. Quote

I read enough to make me want to stay away. Now I just need to know what you guys are using with the YFZ shocks. I don't want to have a problem with springs hitting or shock length. Quote
smkmupbanshee Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 Jeff and Chris run them Rich...They havent had any problems with the arms...Chris did get a broken ball joint though Quote
djackbanshee Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) use a-arms made for stock shocks a-arms for longer shock(longtravel arms) and built for longer shocks than yfz janssen uses 19 inch and roll 18 inch while yfz shock are only 15 3/4 inch long i think. your bike will be too low and the geometry will be all screwed up . Stock lenght shock a arms are not made to handle yfz shocks but will be better than lontravel arms using yfz shocks. i dont like yfz shocks there not made to go there and wear out balljoints fast.

I'll ask him next chance I get. Chris has Fullflight arms on his? Quote
smkmupbanshee Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 I know neither has yfz shocks...But Chris does have full flights I know that for a fact... Quote
LiftdT4R Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 BigRed used to run +2+1 with YFZ shocks, and a buddy of mine did also. It rode awesome, and that's the setup I'm going to put on my 2002. I wound up picking up some used LSRs, I've heard too many bad things about full flight, and wicked, although I have never seen them in person, only going by hearsay. The YFZ shocks work really well with +2+1s, have Shane on here re-valve them for you, and you'll be straight! Quote

Well I already have 47 stitches in my knee I don't need another 14 that's for sure! BigRed used to run +2+1 with YFZ shocks, and a buddy of mine did also.

2002shee Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Posted September 24, 2006 So it looks like I may be going with Wicked arms. I know someone who rides more MX type trails then me (More jumps basically) and he swears by them. So my question is does anyone here have them or better yet with YFZ shocks? What do you guys think?

chronicwatson Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 i have asr a arms and they are pretty dame good the welds are good and they are tuff and i will be putting yfz shocks on it when i find a cheap pair. Quote
kb7kuh Posted September 28, 2006 Report Posted September 28, 2006 I run +2+1 custom a-arms with the YFZ 450 shocks and love the setup. Just take the time to adjust the shocks, it's worth it!!! Quote
LiftdT4R Posted September 28, 2006 Report Posted September 28, 2006 Thanks for the info. Are those LSR's set up for stock length shocks? Yes they are. The YFZ arms are a little longer than stock, but the additional levage of the longer arms should make them sit about where you want them on the +2+1s as long as you have them valed and djusted right.

2002shee Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Posted September 28, 2006 I decided to go with Wicked Products A Arms. The price was right and I have heard some good things about them. I don't know if I'm going to keep the YFZ shocks or not. I'll see how they fit first. Thanks for all the input! Quote
