I have been looking at 450r shocks for my bike for a little while and have found that the YFZ shocks are going cheaper. Since i don't have a whole lot of money to spend I just figured I would get the next best thing to my stock shocks. I have heard of people puting YFZ shocks on 400ex's but I've never gotten to see how they bolt up. Do they need new bushings or anything, or do they just bolt right on to the stock mounting position without any mods.
THANKS

Thanks, the pics help!! Do you have to cut out the back of the shock where it hits the frame (on the opposite side of the resivors) like in the first pic, because I couldn't see where you cut the shock?

I second the interest. Alot of 450r shocks are going for more than I can muster$$.

Yea, they are crazy they want more for the 450r shocks when you could get YFZ's for less, and they are basically the same thing. But you have to do some work to them I got pictures on how to fit them now.

they are 10,000 times better that stock. no joke! but i haven't rode them on stock aarms, so they might be too stiff for that. i have only bottomed them once, when i came up short on a 70-80 foot uphill tabletop. but other than that, they have been awesome. and i didn't get them revalved
