400ex a-arms or shocks fit 450r???

[400exbiggun]

hey guys my friend used to race MX on a 465ex and a 416ex. Now he had a bad craxh on the 465ex so he is parting the 416 out and making the 465 into a 500 flattracker.
Anyway he has 2 sets of MINT hardly used long travel a-arms and a set of 19inch custom axis shocks that i can get CHEAP if they will work on a 450r??? please say they do:confused:

man i would say go for it! i know a guy that i race with took his peps shocks and a-arms off his 416ex and they worked fine as far as i know. now he has axis and lonestar dc-4 LT's on, but the switch worked for him so go for it. i mean if it doesn't work you could always resale them. go luck!

wow that would be pretty cool if they do fit...i can try it out i mena he has 2 sets of the exact same LT front end...maybe i can get the a-arms then save and get the shocks and put them on later on after i pay the quad off.:D

Hey man, If i where u i would buy them, and if they fit run them, ANd if they dont, just sell them to somone else!

I know the shocks do on the stock a-arms...with a little fab, but they arent as long as the 450R shocks.

Dont know about the a-arms

The arms won't fit I tried :(

[400exbiggun]

yeah i know...pappy told me the bad news:(

since the a-arms wont fit how about the steering stem or the axle?

You may be able to make them work. If your aftermarket A-arms were hiem Ends. Because you could change the spacing around enough to compensate for the different mount positions on the frame. Dont know for sure. But its worth a check.

a arms will not fit, 450r a arms are 1 inch wider in the mounting area to the frame.
