jedsled Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 will the yfz450 frt. shocks work on the j-arm banshees? will it only need the modifications talked about on the a-arm banshees? thanks! Quote

John Posted September 22, 2007 Report Posted September 22, 2007 will the yfz450 frt. shocks work on the j-arm banshees? will it only need the modifications talked about on the a-arm banshees? thanks! Is there a difference in mounting points on a J-arm banshee and a A-arm banshee? If the frame has different mounting points then my "GUESS" is that they won't work. At least without some sort of modification. I am rather new to Banshees and understand there are two different variations, even though I am not 100% on what is exactly different. how difficult would it be to convert to a-arms from a J-arm standpoint.

nunyabinness Posted September 22, 2007 Report Posted September 22, 2007 if it works on a-arm shees it should work on j-arm shees. but i don't know how safe it would be... Quote
bansheefreak Posted September 22, 2007 Report Posted September 22, 2007 when you convert j arm to a arms.. you run stock arms and aftermarket arms so yes you can run the 450 arms just like everyone else does.. the 450 arms just have to be trimmed.. see mulletmans post on the 450 arms.. Quote

I am rather new to Banshees and understand there are two different variations, even though I am not 100% on what is exactly different. how difficult would it be to convert to a-arms from a J-arm standpoint. the upper j-arm/a-arm doesnt connect w/ the shock, only the lower a-arms. its my understanding that the mounting points for the top of the shock on both the j-arm and a-arm banshee frames are the same, and that the lower a-arms on both j-arm and a-arm banshees are also the same. can anyone confirm this? i thought that all stock banshee shocks are the same from ALL years regardless if its a j-arm or a-arm banshee. can someone let me know for sure? i also thought i saw a pic of someones j-arm banshee on here having yfz shocks...

Bill Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 I owned A j-arm frame before I converted to an a-arm frame and the only difference is the mounting point for the j-arm.The shock mounts are the same so there shouldnt be A problem. Quote

FINALLY! thanks for answering my question bill. how was the conversion to a-arm? any problems with it? was it pretty easy? which brand conversion kit did you go with? thanks. Quote
bansheefreak Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 did you get my email jedsled Quote
jedsled Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Posted September 24, 2007 did you get my email jedsled yep, thanks for the quick replies, i just emailed you back. just kinda waiting to check out all my options. i'll letcha know when i figure out what i'm doin. thanks again. Quote
jedsled Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Posted September 30, 2007 ok,on closer inspection, i dont think theres enuf clearance between the j-arm and front shock for the yfz's as the yfz shock is larger diameter. grrrrrrrr. i dont really wanna take the shocks off my current yfz to try to fit. does anyone know for sure if it'll work?

I didnt use A weld in conversion kit I just got A different frame. Quote
jedsled Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) I didnt use A weld in conversion kit I just got A different frame. ya, i know... if i find a frame cheap enuf... but i'd rather get the shocks first if i can use them for both frames.
