yeah i wanted some 450r shocks mainly , cuz i couldnt afford some PEP's or works so i looked into these.
i waited long enough and picked em up at a steal of 90 bucks perfect condition.

i got the hood off of ebay for about 53 bucks , there was ALOT of plastic cutting involved , the only things u really need is sumthing to cuty plastics and sumthing to make 4 holes.and u need to relocate ur green light and ignition.
took me about 2 hours or so.it was my first time doing it with no help so it took me a while lol.

the shocks took ALOT of grinding dowmn on the sides of the top mount.liek half an inch lol.
i liek thme alot. specially since they were 90 bucks :)
