suspension questions....

[Ed Kurzawa]

ok guys, i just bought a banshee, i already have a honda 400, but now i am hooked on the 2-stroke power...anyway, i am looking into getting some better shocks, the stock ones suck. What do you guys recomoned for the average rider like me? I ride trail, dunes, and some track, and i also like too jump. also, i want to get it a bit wider...is it worth it to buy a-arms and axles, or will wheel spacers hold up? Thanks for your help.

If you do jumping don't buy wheel spacers just a waist of money as far as shocks buy some works shocks or if you've got some good money buy some elka's

Works are fine for recreational riders......Elka's are good, but pretty damn salty IMO........

every 2-4 years or depending on use around 5k miles the nirto and oil starts to fade...
