arms

[el_loco]

Hi,
I´m going to put the yfz450 a-arms on my shee, and i´m also thinking on putting the
450 shocks also.
Will i have to make frame modifications for the arms ? or the shocks?

Yes you will. The lower arm bracket will have to be moved back on the frame to fit the arm. And i think you have to modify the bracket to fit the shock on the top. You would be better off getting a set of +2 +1 a-arms off ebay for like 500 bucks with a lifetime warrenty and they'll bolt right up and be adjustable.

Hell, the sport arms on Ebay are only $279 and they move +2+1. Even being just sport quality they're better than Yamaha's OEM shit.

True that Kane. Anything is better than oem crap. And have you ever noticed that banshee's allways bend the right upper a-arm?

Not yet. My shee experience so far has only been up and down the street. I have only just today finished it to where I feel comfortable about taking it out to the trails. But I had heard that seems to be a common problem.

Me and chris were talking about it last night, and i bent my upper right, he had an upper right bent, my friend had an upper right bent, and chris said he knew of a couple bent upper right's. If you hit something on the on the right side, the chances are very good that the upper right will bend. But if you hit something on the left, they usually don't bend. at least not as much as the right's.

so ture... also terboeds had a bent upper right.... haha

Guess I'll keep my eye out on that then. I have too many toys to rush out to get a set of arms "just in case" so I probably won't be doing anything with the suspension unless it truly sucks on the trails. I'll likely find out today.

Wel the stock arms suck pretty bad on the trails. I got a set of wicked a-arms on ebay for 500 bucks, and let me tell you, these bitches are strong as hell. I've tested them allready. I got sore, but the arms just laughed. And there life time warrenty. But really any arms on ebay with a lifetime warrenty are good. as long as there strong
