HELP ME!!! i have a banshee and need to know the stock a-arm length

[bansheerider98]

what is the stock a-arm lenght on a 98 banshee?

thanks!

[Kenneth]

this may be stupid but cant u just messure the ones u have then subtract the added lenght? like i said never done it. i have J-arms if they r the same length i can messure them just tell me from were to were.

[bansheerider98]

well the thing is i put them on a looooong time ago and i dont remember if theyre plus 2 from stock or not :/

so if yau can measure them from the center of where they connect to the frame, to where the center of the connct point on the tire bracket on the lower a-arm that would be awesome :)

[bansheerider98]

Are yours stock length? or plus 2" ?

thanks for the help man, im just trying to get skidplates that fit and the dealers near me dont have any in stock that i could test fit :/

[Kenneth]

stock everything is stock:( well the engine isnt, i just bought it three days ago the first quad i have ever owned. it is a 87 the thing is i dont know if the j arms r the same length as a arms. i would think so but not sure.

[bansheerider98]

oooh, how much did you pay and stuff, i have had mine since it came out, (b4 i was born lol) my dad got it 4 me abecause he had one as a kid and it was a project quad for us to do and we finally got it done like 7 years ago and ive beenriding it ever since.. its so ****ing fast! we put so much aftermarket stuff on it :)

but i went out and measured my a-arms and they were 15 so im geussing theyre not stock aswell and just hope that +2 a-arms skids will fit. :D
thanks for th help.

i think the stock ones r the better rim. but it depends on what size u need. i will look at the doglas rim to make sure u can use it if u want them.
if u want more pics let me know.sorry it took so long.

[bansheerider98]

thats ok, the stock ones are probbablylighter because there 2 inches smaller, but i can get the tires i want to put on them in about any size so it dosent matter. how much do you want 4 the stock ones?

i dont know they r too stiff a 300lb guy put them on.

hey the rims, i need them for some tires caues the tires wont fit on the other rims i have. i am sorry. i am trying to get ahold of some more for u.

[bansheerider98]

ok, so you are using which rims?
diddint you have 3 sets, ill take another set if you need the stock ones?
and if you take your shocks to a atv dealer they can most likely set them to your weight.
