  |
|
Hey all
I'm looking to build a banshee, and was wondering if anyone would modify/build a front end on a banshee to handle a little better. narrowing and adding some rake to the a-arms. Either by adapting it to suit a long travel suspension kit trx,yfz,ltz etc etc. or building a set of arms to suit a set of spindles off anything, probably a 450 to get a brAke upgrade.
Cheers

yfz 450 brakes bolt straight up to banshee as it is.
as for the other questions that answer is yes. but you would need to do most of the hard yards. Im assuming you want to run 450 shocks and what not??
why not run a set of aftermarket A-arms and decent shocks. If you really want brakes then add the 450 calipers. |

Anything's possible. And, in relation to quads with Banshee engines, everything has probably been tried by someone.
It seems you want to build a quad that handles really well and has good brakes and you want to use a Banshee engine. I'd be searching the net to look through sites of businesses that have built aftermarket frames for quads. There have been plenty of them over time in the States. I'd be looking for any aftermarket frame that is built to take a Banshee engine. As most frames I have seen were designed to use aftermarket A arms etc which suit popular model quads, the rest should fall into place. |

"Kall The Mechanics" if they blow up, gee, they "Kant Take Much" can they? I've heard they "Kost Too Much" anyway  I guess once they have stopped, the owner has to call for somebody to "Kome Tow Me" |
