EastCoast Banshee Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Dont forget about wicked a-arms iv seen a few reviews awile back and said they were top quality. I dont know how true this is personally but they look to be very good a-arms and they are made from chrome moly unlike the cheap knock off a-arms made from dom steel. Wicked a-arms Quote
letsgetthisdone Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 I would definetely go with those if you are still iffy on the asr's "3". I t Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Got a link for those Wicked's? Quote
3 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Posted October 9, 2006 That is a good suggestion, and they really look good, only problems is that they dont ship to Canada. Thank guys you are a really good help for me Quote
guttedEF Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 I'm running YFZ450 shocks with my ASR's and they work great. For the money, I don't think there's a better setup. And I didn't have to grind anything at all to make them fit or allign properly. the fully adjustable ones are the way to go. And i abuse mine about the same as he said above. 90% of the time I ride MX and haven't bent or broken anything. I've cased many a jump and have no problems. I'd be more worried about the weak ass Banshee frame crackign than my a-arms. Quote
3 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Posted October 9, 2006 How much did you pay for the whole set up, shocks and a-arms?? I am not into MX but i defenitly want to upgrade that suspension to a respectable level. What is the point of having all that power and not getting right to the ground? And man trails are bumpy like crazy here, they use a old railroad track, without the rails, for the main trails. It's like riding on a infinite small whoops sand section. Quote
guttedEF Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 I spend around $350 for the arms and $150 for the shocks. The arms come with everything you need to install them except grease. My next upgrade will definetely be aftermarket shocks front and rear. But this is a huge improvement over stock, and for the money, it can't be beat. I didn't have $800+ at the time for shocks alone, and I have zero regrets on what I did. I've been using this for probably 8-9 months almost every weekend and have had zero issues. Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 The more I look into ASR the more I"m convinced. Anyone have a diff link for them other than ebay? The shipping is too much for me. Quote

Big Blue Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 What kind of guarantee to the cheap a arms have? I know quicksand is 100%, you hit a tree he will replace it. Quote
bigboybanshee Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 What kind of guarantee to the cheap a arms have? I know quicksand is 100%, you hit a tree he will replace it. From what I hear, Gary will do that no questions asked, whether it's the a arm's fault or not. If I build another banshee for "normal" riding, I'll definitely be going with quicksand arms :beer: Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 That's exactly what Gary said! He also said the YFZ's are perfect fit on his Quicksand A Arms. P.S. I ended up buying Quicksand & should be here sometime next week. +2 +1's, Chrome & Powdercoat, $385 shipped. Quote
