[trx450Rrider]

i was wandering if my 04 axis shock for the stock link will work if i get it revalved? it seems shorter than the stocker on the 06 so i dono. i plan on sending it out to gtthunder to get revalved for one of their linkages for the 06 450r .

sure...why not?

it doesnt. its too short. im surprised. i put the stock 06 shock on the 04 to see if it would be fine so i can just sell it but once it was on and i took it off the lift i noticed the seat was 4 feet off the ground!!!!! hahha so i guess you cant use the 04 shocks because they are too short compared to the 06.

You should be able to change out the internal shaft to make the shock longer and revalve it to spec. We've done a few Elka rears from '04s....worked great.
