wow that 450 looks nice.. i would defantly put the front fenders back on and cut them maybe it looks like a weird street bike but ya those look good. how much did you spend on just your shocks for the 450r front/rear

I like the no fenders look better than the cut one's on an R. Then if he needs them he can just put them on when needed then take back off.
Once you cut them your stuck with them.

Yeah but your stuck with a cool looking bike. :devil: I race MX so I cut mine, but if I didn't I would leave them full.

How tall is TRUTH? Those bars look like skyscrapers on there:eek2: I love the white R by the way.

Also how do the shocks ride? Please give us some details. Also throw up some shots of those shocks in action.

TRUTH is about 6'2" or 6'1" so he likes the bars to be really high. You also have to understand and him and I both have race sleds that we ride in winter, so we are used to having very tall bars.

The shocks ride awesome and I will have a better review of them up this weekend, cuz of the limited time we've gotten to use them in the last two weeks. I'll also have action pics up soon as well.. Thanks, JAY

Yeah yours and his look really nice....Do you know if those herman arms can use an 18.5" shock

Nope they use 18.25"... Trust me you wouldn't be able to sneak another .25" shock on there.... ~JAY

Really!!? I called Herman a bit ago, and spoke with Mike I think his name was...I have an 18.5" long shock, and he said it shouldnt be a big deal..That there might be a bit of drag when the bike was in air and shocks full extended, but that the ride height could be adjusted to compenate...what do you think? Or what a-arms take an 18.5" long shock...I want that gull wing look..

I'm not sure what other arms take 18.5", but i know that when we installed the 18.25" ones, they just fit... Frank actually had to push and compress the shock a tiny bit to get it so i could get the bolt through on the top mount. I'd suggest getting the exact length that they recommend, cuz otherwise even if the arms fit with the shocks, you will be over extending the arms past what they are supposed to. Just my thoughts, but you do what you want. ~JAY

Yeah your probaly right.. I understand that it could over extend them..Do you know of any a-arms that take 18.5" shocks...Or why would they make them like that?

Where in Fondy are you? It seems that nobody around here has a stunning bike like they do out west, so it is really cool to see one of the locals with a nice one.

Do you ever ride the lake in the winter (if it ever freezes:scary: )
