Wondering what to do next buy elka triple rate front shocks for my piped raptor or buy pipes for my stock banshee what do you guys think? And what pipes should i buy for the Banshee? I ride trails duned and alittle mx. thanks

 

Get the Elka's. Great people, and great products. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

You can't lose either way, but I would probably put the pipes on the Banshee....really opens them up.

 

Definitely go with the Elka shocks and a set of arms. I see different set ups all day and we get the best response from people who start with their suspension and finish with the motor.

 

A couple questions that will make your decision easier -

1) How do I ride my quads most often? If you ride trails, woods, or MX with either quad, the shocks are the answer. If you ride only sand dunes or really into drag racing, go with pipes.

2) Which quad do you ride most often? If you ride the Raptor 80% of the time, your money is better spent on it, and likewise, if you ride the Shee much more often, spend the $ on it.

3) How good of rider are you? Are you so good that everytime you ride your Shee you feel like you are riding a Blaster. You can man-handle the quad and it is totally underpowered? Or are you a pretty good rider on the Raptor, but wish you could take the corners faster and go faster through the rough stuff and make use of all the power that is there? a=pipes, b=shocks

I have raced about 10 National GNCC races in the past 2 years, some MX races, drag raced at the dunes, and spent many hour by myself trail riding. I have quickly worked my way up from racing a stock Raptor to racing a + $15,000 Raptor. If I had it all to do over again the VERY FIRST things I would have added are the Elka Shocks. They make the single biggest difference possible; second would be tires and wheels, third widening the front and rear (depending on type of riding) and fourth would be power.

Good luck with your decision!

man i would go with shocks with no question

and warrior68man u dont have a banshee or even rode one so how would u know?
but like raptor race1 said depends on if your trail riding drag and that u know


but if u do jumping and stuff like that i would go with suspension
