oneslowbanshee Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I Might have a deal going with an 87 frame for cheap but my question is I got A-arms and spindles off an 01 can I use lower a-arms and spindles for the 87 frame?

woodro77 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 the bottom a arms are the same off a j arm , but im not sure about the spindles , i think i heard the front brakes are diffront on the early year banshee's , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZBansheeMan Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 The answer is yes, and there are companies out ther that sell a weld in kit for the J-arm frame to make it accept the upper A-arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireroad Express Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 yes , the spindels and calipers are different on J-arm bikes. so are the front brake lines i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodro77 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 yes , the spindels and calipers are different on J-arm bikes. so are the front brake lines i think. thats not true , i had a 1990 j arm banshee , and i switched the spindles and brakes over to a a arm frame and everything fit perfect . but if i can remeber correctly , the 87 -88 brakes were different , 89 and 90 j arm spindles are the same as the newer a arm frames , if you look in the repair manual it tells you .
