Since Geocities.com is down half the time. Most of you never got a chance to see the 2002 GYT-R accessories that I scanned a copy for everybody to see.

I had a lot of questions fired my way about how I was able to lower my Raptor, with just using stock a-arms.

Well for sh!#..*'s & giggles, my buddy had a set of Works Banshee shocks sitting around. So we measured the difference. Exactly 1” lower and they fit in the shock mounts perfect.

The only down fall, My buddy only weighs about a 170lbs compared to my big 220 lbs as#!zzzz .
I have set of Elka’s Banshee's front & rear coming from the Quad Shop coming, and will give post my results.

I did the same thing with Works Banshee shocks and I got alot less performance out of them. They bottomed sooo much easier and didn't perform nearly as well as the stock shocks! You get alot more travel and better rebound out of the stock shocks then the Banshee aftermarket ones, partly cause they are made for Banshees, duh![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Trust me put the stock ones back on.

I tried this as a test, in reference to lowering my Raptor. Since than, I have bought a new set of Elka's Banshee dual rates shocks with remote rezzies.

What a difference this made, I get a much better ride than the stock shocks or the Works.
