Shock spring colors

I keep seeing shock springs in different colors, does anyone know what the different colors are for?

Pretty much yamaha was just contantly changing the color of the spring.

just for color scheme i would think. sure ain't because they are of different performance qualities. as we all know they're equally shitty.

My 92 are pink hence the shock covers, came with a lite blue seat, tank caver and nose piece( was pretty girly looking)

mine are yellow in the end its kinda working with the whole paint scheme

Yupp, all the same, just different paint. There are dozens of different paint schemes. I actually say a picture once of all the different color matches. I'd give good money to find it again. I can find the banshee one, just not the warrior one anymore.

the 1992 banchee has the same colors as my 1992 warrior had, don't know if all years are the same but that year is

ok cool thanks. just wonder because im looking at buying banshee shocks and there are a boat load of colors out there. lol

oh and on a different note. since i have to rebuild the front end anyway. what do you guys think about +2 a arms? and would i need longer shocks to go with it?
Thanks again
oh and its for hare scramble racing if that helps any.

banshee shocks are a tad bit better than the warrior shocks.

+2 arms are great and you would need shocks built for +2 arms. that doesn't mean they are longer though. they're just valved for the added leverage of the longer arms. btw, i think the fronts are 14.75"? someone will correct me if thats wrong.

:nanner:

Close. Fronts are 14.5 and the rear is 13.63. And stock shocks are a waste, even rebuilt if you plan on racing at all. Look for a decent set of works shocks. On ebay search "banshee works shocks" and you should see a bunch of results.

A-arms are the best way to widen your stance in the front. You can run +2 arms and stock shocks. Have fun with that though! Hahahahah
