will 250R a-arms work on 300ex

[krazykarl]

hey whats goin on guys. i got a set of stock a-arms of my 87' 250r and i was wonderin if they fit on my little sisters 96 300ex?
also what shocks would i use? stock 300ex's or do i need to get sum longer ones off an R or a 400ex? oh ya, and how much wider will it make it?

thanks-karl

I think they'll fit. Some say the geometry will be off and some say they work great. I don't know as I don't have them. As for shocks I think you can use a 400ex or 450r shock if you get a relocator, but I think you can run a stock Banshee shock without anything else. Again all this is from my memory of searching on here, so you might try to search a little more and see if I'm right because I don't feel like doing it.

The 250r arms will work. There are some geometry issues but it's all a matter of opinion as to how well it works. You will either need a 14.75"(I think) shock to use the stock shockmounts or a shock relocator bracket and 400ex length shocks. The a arms should add about 1.5"-2" per side.

Edit: I forgot to add that you will need to use the 300ex a arm bushings or grind down the 250r bushings because they are too wide for the frame mounts.
