I was looking at the yfz 450 and the ktm 450sx and i noticed that where the shocks mount on the a arms, the mountings are very close to the wheels and far from the frame? Now isnt it the further ur botom mounts are outward the less travel u have? And more inward the more? Am i mising sumthing? Cause i always read the banshee has bad travel? But yet the mounts are more inward? Im tryna figure out what mountings and what nt all makes a good and a bad setup? But im guesing there is no answer? Is it just tryd and tested setups over the years?
Remember the YFz has more travel on the shock itself!
Oh ya. , . I knew that? Hehe
Yea yfz are much longer and stiffer you cant put yfz shocks on banshee a-arms....will look POO and be unridable way to stiff and it will raise your front end to much.....
Put yfz a-arms with it...some guys like it...

Jip, They can change the valves and springs to your riding style and preference. The 450 should be a very good shock after that. Just don't know if the price will be worth taking the chance.
