mattb348 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I was just wondering if banshee and raptor shocks are inter-changeable? I have a friend with a 2001 banshee, which has a broken front shock. I happen to have a 2003 Raptor 660 which I just put new front shocks on. I now have a spare raptor front shock which I'm going to give him. I would have had 2, but I actually had to ruin one of the shocks to get it off since the shock bolt was seized. Anyways, is the front shock from a 2003 raptor 660 the same as a front shock on a banshee?? Is it ok to have an OEM front shock on one side of the banshee, and the OEM front shock from the raptor 660 on the other side? Our only option is to mix and match them unfortunetely. Thanks in advance for any help! - Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 My best guess is they are not the same. Regardless...never use two different shocks on a bike. You could end up with some pretty unpredictable handling, and get hurt.... If you could use both fronts off the Raptor, IF they'd fit...that would be your best bet. I do, however...have a set of front shocks off my 96 for sale, I will let go very...very cheap.... Straight, no leaks...the yellow shock springs do have some paint rubbed off them due to shockwears being on them for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washburn Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 A. No I dont even think they are interchanable. B. you never want to niggarig something like that the one side will be like yeah the other will be like errrrrrrr and rite as you go around a fast corner the frone end will want to slide out on you. Its a bad idea to ride with two diffrent tires let alone suspention. C.I do, however...have a set of front shocks off my 96 for sale, I will let go very...very cheap....
