Banshee J-Arm to D-Arm Conversion for High Performance 🔥

Banshee J-Arm to D-Arm Conversion for High Performance 🔥

These popular D-Arms are beautiful, heavy duty replacements for the J-Arms that came stock on Banshees manufactured in 1987-1990. 

When installing them, you will need to save and re-use your sleeves, ride tubes, and caps from your OEM J-Arms on the new D-Arms. To see what they look like and how they are installed, check out this video. Scroll down below this video for a link to our D-Arm YouTube playlist & some additional information. 

 

Banshee J-Arms are not as strong as A-Arms, which is why Yamaha changed over to using A-Arms starting in 1991. But what to do if you have a J-Arm Banshee and need an upgrade? These D-Arms are the answer. 

    The D-Arms are fabricated from raw steel tubing. Flat metal gussets are cut and welded in place to add stiffness and durability. Re-Do sells these in raw steel with no coating. To protect the metal, you will need to paint or powder coat them. We’ve had a few customers who liked the metal look and clear coated them to protect them while still showing off the beautiful workmanship of the fabrication. 

    We keep Meticulous Metal Works busy fabricating these as often as we can, but the D-Arms sell quickly each time we get them in stock. If we do have them in stock, you’d better jump on ordering them before they are gone!

    Do you already have a set of these D-Arms on your Banshee?  Let us know how are they working out.

    About the Authors:

    This article was written by Janel with plenty of help from Virgil. Virgil is the Banshee mechanic, and I am the website mechanic. I do own and ride a Banshee, which helps. 

    I want to make sure the products I or we put on our website have correct descriptions and options. I want our technical info to be accurate and helpful. A while back, I started creating internal cheat sheets for my own or our shop's use. Then I thought they might be helpful to others. This is how our Banshee Parts Reference blog began.

    Writing and editing these articles helps me make better sense of the parts, fitment, and what goes with what. I have a lot of draft ideas saved for blog articles and videos I want to post at some point. Let me know if this one is helpful or if you think I need to correct something. You can send an email to info@redo-parts.com - and your comments will be passed along to me. 

    Thanks ~Janel 😉👌
