A arms question

[fastrthnu]

Im trying to broaden my search for wide a arms (over +2) and wondering if these other yamaha bikes a arms are direct bolt ups? then I could look into aftermarket a arms for these as well.?. :shrug: Or who sells good +3+1`s for banshee?

Dont do the 450 arms. They sit low and are kinda chicken shit how they are cut to fit. Much better off with a good set of aftermarkets.

I know that the good asr sets do,. so I was eye`n those. But it appears they they are adjustable from +2 to +3 and that sounds cheese to me to. LSR doesnt make +3 anymore for banshee, and I cant find em made by laegers either. Thats why I wanted to see if the other newer yamahas fit so I could check out say,,, houser that doesnt make an arm for banshee.

The yfz450 arms do sit kind of low, but they can be modified in a way that looks good when completed. Some will argue that the geometry is not as good with a yfz arm as an aftermarket, but you will never get good geometry from a stock banshee frame. I have yfz arms on my banshee and they turned out nice....rides a ton better than it did from the factory. I just didn't feel like spending the money for a nice aftermarket arm and putting it on a poorly designed frame. Others have put honda 450r shocks on the yfz450 a-arms to put them closer to factory ride height.
