Banshee rear shock

[magiksc]

So I want to get the rear of my shee to handle better, so I was thinking of revalving it and then getting a spring from TCS. Is the rear shock worth reworking? And I weigh 185 lbs what spring should I get from TCS? My riding style is fast and hard but mainly dunes.

The rear shock is definately rebuildable. I had mine done by Shane and it works great but I don't think he is around any more... haven't heard from or about him in a while. I've heard lots of good things about TCS so I'm sure they could hook you up.

The stock rear shock on a banshee is not a bad shock at all. You can have it re valved and sprung for your weight. A good shop to have it done at is precision concepts in SD. Have a few friends that have done this and love it.

Thanks for the input, What spring rate should I be running if I weigh 185lbs?

[ranshee]

Not sure what spring you'd be running. precision concepts. contact these guys.

I had mine done my works, they changed the spring and all.. looks real nice, I havent ridden the bike yet, Ill give you a update in about a week..

I think it was around $300 or soo, Dont know if that good or not but it like a brand new shock...

Hey Ruko! I'm still around and building suspension. I haven't been around HQ in awhile because the flamers really got to me. We tried to give a little back to Lee by sponsoring the suspension forum and it wasn't a good experience.

Just revalving is not an option on the Banshee rear shock. A re-build & re-spring on that shock is between $300. and $400. depending on what kind of riding you do and the equipment you run.

 

With the Banshee the biggest benefit you'll get from a rebuild is traction. These bikes have so much explosive power that it is hard to transfer that to the ground.

For anyone looking into getting a shock redone I can definately vouch for Shane... He did mine a couple years ago and WOW what a diference... I have a couple buddies who got thiers done from him too and they are also very happy with them, so give him a call ^^
