kwickez Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 has anyone ridden a j arm and an a arm setup on the banshee and what was the maine difference in ride and feel? Quote
freddy Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 the main difference i noticed was the the j frame was alot stiffer than the a frame and a little heavier i think Quote
jharader Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 stiffer all around (suspension travel is less on the j-arm bikes front and rear) thats all i ever noticed, actually the j-arms models were lighter says the ole manual Quote
xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 I have a J arm and rode a-arm i see no difference. j-arm is lighter 14 pounds i believe but i couldnt notice it. the only thing wrong with them is how the ones that no nothing about them talk shit. my shee is a 87 and i would bet its better then half the newer a-frame bikes on here.

xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 nothings wrong with a 87. i look at like its the first year of the banshee and i want to keep it that way. i have a 98 frame but i wont use it. eventually i`ll cut the BS off of it, possibly get it powder coated and sell it. shees what i enjoy. i have a long way to go until its done.

Meat Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 I have a J arm and rode a-arm i see no difference. I agree, i had both frames and you can't feel a difference. My first banshee was an '88 Quote
mdhc500 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Mine is a 87... I ride my brothers 2006 all the time and cant tell the difference at all... 87 started it all! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote

Want to sell the 98 frame? I bet you could use the $$ to spruce up the 87??? I'm looking to build my wife a Shee! Quote
