yfz 450 front end ?

[ny98banshee350]

so i did search and i read the topics but i m still left with a ?

 

if i was to buy the yfz 450 a arms and shocks should i buy the the hubs and brakes also

or can i get away with using the stock banshee hubs and brakes?

also is this a direct bolt on thing with no modification?

 

i saw 1 thread that he made new billit dust caps with a spacer, do i need to put a spacer in

 

thanks for the help!

This has been covered alot, but, it is not a direct bolt on. You will need to cut the upper a-arm, and put in a spacer, the upper aarm mounts don't mount up if you don't. Most people just run YFZ a-arms, and YFZ shocks(Banshee shocks are too short), but you could do the hubs, spindles, and calipers too. The calipers are dual piston, and I run them on my bike, the stopping power is way way better then stock.

 

Personally, I think you are better ooff buying a used set of +2+1s and getting some cheap works shocks, at least then you have a setup that was made for your bike. Just my .02, a lot of people run the YFZ arms and shocks, and love them.

the yfz a arms work geat and are easy to install. talk to 2003limitedbanshee if you want the yfz direct bolt on set he makes them pre cut and ready to go.

he makes the spacers as well which i would recomend. They are well worth the money.

as far as yfz hubs and spindles i would also recomend them otherwise theres way to big of an angle putting pressure on the ball joints. The yfz 450 spindles and hubs reduce this angle which is important.

As far as shocks i would go with some works or tcs or another aftermarket shock.. there well worth the extra couple of bucks. Make sure you get the ones w rider height adjustablity. I have a set of tcs set w ressies up for the yfz 450 a arm swap out for sale. they also have banshee bushings in the top mount and yfz 450 bushings for the bottom mount so they bolt up perfectly on the banshee. pm me if your interested. there also comp adjustable and they have the zero preload so you can adjust your height. just serviced. look really great.

hope this helps

Dont you mean the uppers bolt on with dustcaps w/o modification and the lowers have to be cut w/o dustcaps and the spacer is added to the opposite side of the cut to fill the void.. lol thats a big boo boo :ermm:

correct the bottom arms are the ones that need to be cut... like someone else said get a kit that bolts right on from 2004limitedbanshee

Thanks Devans and Peter!! Yes I have the complete bolt in kits, 2003LimitedBanshee. When you get a kit from me there is no further modification that you need to do, it's 100% bolt-on from your perspective. I have been running my 450 arms/shocks (I have '07 SE Hi/Low speed adjustable) for several months now and am VERY happy! I believe you sent me a PM a while back, any thoughts? Thanks! -Brian

I have yfz450 shocks/aarms. I like them better over stock. The only reason i didnt go with something made for the banshee is the cost. What i have now cost less than half the price of something made for a banshee. And for a playbike, it's more than i need.
