yes, im pretty sure you can get the bearings for your DS. as to the black powerbands, i dont think they've released model details so right now its still in the development stage and they havent released details about model specific bands.

has anybody heard about the uv-arms yet? they replace your stock a-arms. they're kinda weird, there are 4 instead of just 2 like a-arms and with a little frame modification allow you to mount a second set of shocks at each tire, like on the saratoga. they're technically 2 different designs. the u-arms go on the inside of the v arms which stick out farther. each can have its own shock mounted on. i dont know exactly how they mount but they give a soft low speed ride from the u-arm shock which is very soft but theres no risk of bottoming out because the v-arms have a normal shock mounted.

Johnnysplat ya'll get to have the fun[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] The DS is always last in delevopement of parts[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I herd that the V arms made the bump stear worse on the bomb. I guess I will have to wait for the black power band to come out for the DS to get faster. I guess I'll just sit back & see all the progress ya'll make, on this thread. Dang that sucks, Oh well just keep me posted on the progress! I give ya'll props on the progress ya'll have made l0l.

NP [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img], Just ask the mechanic (not the dealer themselves, they ussually have their heads in their back pockets about stuff in todays atv world) if he can order you an orange one to give the best power disp., they should be around $129.00 if they give you a good deal, but you MUST not go past orange just yet, you have to give your machine enough time to "get used" to the power before you go ape-shat on a pink or black powerband.

Dude, all of this info was for your Banshee. Better start class over fellas for a 3 stroke Rappy. Raptors have no powerband.

thats up to you. if you have any mechanical knowledge and arent afraid to take things apart and get a little dirty then you can do it yourself. if you want to just have them install it it would be easier but they will charge an installation fee of at least 50 bucks, so its kinda a rip.

oh. well i hope you did know we were talking about your banshee YRO. if youre talking about modifying your raptor thats a whole different story. although a stock raptor doesnt have a powerband (i dont know why) there are aftermarket kits that allow you to install one.
