Im having my front shocks revalved, new springs up front, new rear revalve and a new rear link done by GT Thunder right now. Supposedly he is one of the best. Uf you plan on getting it done contact www.aggressivepowersports.com They have the best deals

the 400ex's are the same way, i sent my rear to gtthunder and it made a big difference...

i am getting a 450r in a few weeks, dang work schedule doesn't let me go get one right now:( and the shocks from it will be going to gt thuner in the fall, after he is less busy and it is too cold for us old guys to go outside and ride:D

I've got a GT Thunder rear shock rebuilt for my 04 with the mx linkage. It made a nice change in the way I can go threw the whoops and breaking bumps. I am going to sell this setup if anyone's interested. I had Laz build it for a 180lb mx rider with stock length swingarm. PM me if interested.

i have some indoor mx time on my 06 and i still dont know what the back end kicking up is about. Not sure if they fixed it at all, im 160 and i feel smooth and clean on the track, im going through deep whoop sections wide open skippin across the top.

yea, i have never ridden an 04 or 05 on the track so wouldnt know. But my 06 does not have any bucking problems.
