im running some spacers on the front for now.. cant bring myself to spend the $$ on the arms. they are just so taxed. last thing left on this bike is the arms and front brake's
i think thats about all there is left to do.
 
even if u do extend them u still cant change the ball joint after that wears.
i have friend with a banshee and he made his stock arms have serviceable ball joints....so there is a way to do it. idk what kind of arms you plan to do in the future, but if you want hydro front brakes theres a few different ways to go. most people dont like teh fact of reaming the spindles for burgard arms, but banshee spindles are a direct bolt on after the reaming. probly the easiest way....or you can buy norman420 spindles, which are a direct bolt on....like awk has....he has a great setup...

i know a few guys have a gsxr rear caliper or whatever it is, if you were to use a banshee rear caliper, and 90+ front calipers, its the same caliper, and brake pads. i havent seen the streetbike caliper, but i doubt its the same, but it could be....just a thought.....

axle looks good bro. is that a stock rear shock? if so i reccomend a 250r, 400ex, or ltz400 (i think they work) they ride much better....
 
i have a few calipers and got something in the works for the brakes..lol
to tell you the truth i dont know what the rear shock is.
all i know is it doesnt feel nothing like my girls which is stock.
 
yea bro thats a stock rear shock.......u can turn the spring down to make it softer, loosten the nuts at the bottom of the shock and turn the spring down.....it will soften it up
 
its soft as can be. could it just be that much softer cause of the extended swingarm. im happy with the rear shock. maybe my girls is messed up cause hers is hard as a rock.
the axles is 40" long the hubs sit at 38" but its adjustable.
