long travel banshee

i just got finished putting on my roll designs lobo II front end on the banshee, its one crazy looking setup. With those arms and the axis shocks this thing is gonna handle great, i cant wait to test them out sunday. In the pic i didnt have the rezzies mounted up right, and i just ordered SS brakelines, those stock ones look like garbage.

I have all the plastics off so i can clean it real good right now, im gonna get some real good ones tomorrow and ill post them up.

Stock Vs. Long travel

looks real nice!! just wanted to give ya a pointer, i think the brake lines look a little stretched with them out on the front side of the a-arms. but i suppose since you'll be running the stainless lines that shouldn't be a problem aslong as there longer than the stockers.

ya, i got them in +2 so it shouldnt be a problem. The stock lines are actually fine, it turned the handlebars fully both ways and the lines were never really streching, they still had a little slack. They will work for this weekend.

Wholly shit. We know who's got all the money now...haha. I love the Roll Design Long Travel setups, the gull wing lowers look sweet as hell. I personally like the red ones but color doesn't matter. I'd give my left nut for a set of those arms, cut it out myself too.

haha, more like- look who HAD the money, haha. I actually got a really good deal on these, i didnt buy them new, but they were used like twice and they are still mint. they retail for like $3,000 in powdercoated finish and elka shocks. I got this setup for $1,400 with the chrome and axis shocks, im pretty sure the axis cost more, so im guessing this is a $3,500 front end or close to it!

Yup. That setup on ebay with quad rate long travel Elkas books for about 2700 bucks, and that is fucking DIRT cheap. I called Roll Design and priced a set of arms like that and about gave me an over the phone heart attack. 1399 for a set of long travel arms, so you got the 1350 dollar axis shocks free. Lucky bastard.
