What kind of mods need to be done to the front so the shocks will work? Are there any shocks on other bikes that will fit on the banshee?

They will fit if you grind the frame at the top shock mount for clearence, and grind the bottom a-arm for clearence. The yfz450 shocks are a couple inches longer than the junk shee stockers, and used on stock a-arms will eventually break the ball joints when the front tires come off the ground and snap the a-arms and ball joints downward 2 inches lower than desinged to safely go. The yfz450 shocks are great with extended shee a-arms designed to use the yfz shocks. If you are using the stock arms, you are better off buying some works {$329} or elkas {$450}.

He asked about a 450 shocks on a shee,not on a dumb ole warrior.
You will either have to grind the bike as midnite said or grind the ends of the shocks, so either way they don't mount right up.
