Default banshee questions
I am looking at buying an 88 banshee and was wondering when they changed the frt suspension. Is they anything else that changed or that I should look for?

It will have j-arms unless the guy that owns it has had the conversion done. Before you buy it, you should check the compression and of course ride it.

Forgot to mention when you check compression, if the cylinders are over 10 psi away from each other (ex. one cylinder is #100 and the other is #120) it needs a rebuild.

Preformance wise not really. A arms are stronger. Better for MX. J arms are lighter better for drag. Also more after market for a arms
