[johnsls]

Well I hope these pics are ok, let the opinions fly cuz I know I've done a little touch up paint here and there so don't be bashfull.
I'm not loving it but ITS MINE...

Thanks A LOT to STEVENJANNA for putting the engine together and making sure it ran ok.. in fact it runs awesome.

Also thanks to C&D Racing for the parts, resleeve etc...

[johnsls]

heres one of the 450r shocks I just got.

[Ruby Soho]

looks really good!

[johnsls]

Thanks!

Heres what it looked like when I brought it home.

No steering stem, no rear fender, Engine was in pieces

[jwick07]

Well they shocks are on backwards from how they mount on a 450R but it really doesnt matter

[johnsls]

I wasn't too sure, but I put them on like that because there is a warning sticker on them about them being gas filled. I'll correct that tomorrow. Thanks...

[TRX_450]

actually...its prolly better that way....if u race anyway...will cool the ressies easier bein out front and i dont think its gonna hurt anything

[tar]

It doesn't hurt anything to have the shocks like that so if you like them like that you can leave them.

[trx450jason]

personally i think they would look better flipped around and they are like that to protect the ressies but thats jmo

CORRECT the rezzies have to be in the back becuase theyll get hit by roost...y do u think there like that on the 450r?..to protect the rezzies from the roost

[johnsls]

I agree, no roost on the rezzies :D
I'll flip them tomorrow.

thanks everyone...

[Atkins]

Since when has roost damaged those kind of rezzies? Ive never heard of a YFZs stock rezzies getting damaged from roost.

[johnsls]

Well either way I don't think it matters. Maybe talking about the roost was a good excuse to get me to flip them around.
:huh

[trx450jason]

Well I do think they would look better flipped around but thats not the reason I said it haha. I've read about it before when the 450r came out the ressies were like this to protect them. I believe they are the same way on the suzuki too.

If it is such a big issues why aren't elka piggy back reservoirs mounted behind the shock? or works, or tcs and ohlins???

more protection, yeah. A big deal? probably not and just a hype

[Fred55]

the only reason you would want to flip the shocks from the way you have them now is so you can access the compression adjustment better.
