raptor shock

[honda965]

i have an 03 300ex i can put a raptor shock on it right? is the raptor shock better than the 300ex shock?

[JW450R1]

i think the raptor shock is longer.and the linkage is different

[sprtrx300ex]

its has to be off a 2001 yamaha raptor. Yes its alot better and fully adjustable. Its also rebuildable

[Trevor]

It has to be an 01 and you don't use the linkage. It rides awsome!

[Trevor]

I have ome more pic of how to route and mount the rese let me know if you need them.

[400exMO]

You don't use the linkage?? So you're just bolting it directly to the swingarm? Wouldn't that create a bunch of bucking?

[Trevor]

No you just bolt it up just as if it was a direct replacement for a 300ex rear shock.

wow:eek2: how does it handle?.how does it feel?.

[Trevor]

Perfect! way better than stock!

not when your not on it. It sits pretty high. On mine it drops like 2-3 inchs when I get on. (I weigh 135) As of now, I am looking to get elka springs for it to make it a little better. Very good replacment shock.

What is the length of the raptor shock eye to eye...anyone know...

[rooster300ex]

Yea its way better then a stock 300ex shock. I can hit whoops WFO in 5th and go over them pretty smooth. these aren't deep deep whoops or nothing. i got a few pics with my raptor shock installed.

would it be worth purchasing one of them & spendin the money on the raptor shock or should i jsut save a few more bucks and get a different type of shock? if so what kind& what kind of swing arm? or does anyone kno of like a combination of a swing arm wit a shock?

It would be worth it if you're serious about riding to get a shock made for the bike. You could look used and I'd suggest elka. Also Burgard makes some cheaper swingarms that're sturdy. I'm not sure if they make them for the 300 though.

[honda965]

ok elka rear shocks arent worth that kinda money. step 2. haha wat swing arm can i get that will work with a raptor shock? or can i just get any swing arm for a 300?

[rooster300ex]

The raptor shock will bolt up to any 300ex shock as long as the shock mount is in the same place.
