Default Front Shocks Upgrade for a Banshee

YFZ 450 shocks are just about a bolt on for the banshee. Just a little trimming of the shock mount and your good to go!

That is good to know!
Could you explain in a little more depth what you mean by "trimming"??
Thanks!

If you would, reply back to this thread after you get them installed, and have had the chance to try them out.

No problem. I won't have them till next monday. I won't be riding till the following Saturday, But I will let you all know. The guy at WORKS said I WILL see a huge improvement which I would take anything as the stock shocks are terrible as we all know.

I'll be sure to let you know. If they don't work out to be any good I'll save up for some elkas. I have heard some great things about WORKS though.

Well I got the shocks and they are very well made to start. I buzzed around the yard hit a few small jumps and they seem to be good. Would like to try them on a rythem section though. If you were to ask me if they are worth it I would say YES. for 280 bucks go for it. Much better ride also.

So you got just dual or tirple rate spring works? Glad you are happy on your under $300 upgrade.
