Well i installed the rear shock and went for a ride. First impressions...

The rear sits at least 2 inches lower, looks like a race setup and "appeared" to have less travel.

Dont let the cover ruin the book ,this thing is awesome.

The overall feel is top notch. Plush yet firm, forgiving yet responsive and i havent even tweaked any compression settings yet.

I will post some pics tomorrow after i install the TCS fronts.

SO far 100% A+!

No bucking, tracks straight and offers supurb traction over the stock set up.

There is a jump we hit and get about 7 feet of air and land flat....it doenst hurt one bit....cant say the same for the stock rear...:)

I've yet to ride anywhere but my friend robin's where there's jumps. I had my rear dont by derisi and I thought that was the best mod I've done to my 04 450r so far. I plan to pickup an 05 as well. Soon as my 416ex is gone.
