Anyone fit a rear shock 450 to a 400 ?

?

I tried looking for this on the search , but because of the numbers i couldnt Find anything , and I hate repeating Posts .
Someone Wants to help me with One until i get my Own Shock Back .

Will I be able to lend this One without Modifying the thing to Fit ?

Ideally i'd like to Keep it on , but that will happen later next year .

Thanks in advance .

i believe the 450 rear shock is shorter than the 400

Shucks .
Wonder if it will work though ?

it does fit some people have to grind a little but some people dont but i no it does fit and it is like half an inch lower than the 400ex stock shock

It's almost an inch shorter and valved completely wrong, but it will bolt up.:rolleyes:

Thanks chaps .
that means Im still skrewed , and that I cannot work off the inch in height By turning on the pre load screw , or else you guys would have suggested that .

Grinding is also out , as I will have to return to its mommy like it was never used , and i dont think he'll be too pleased .

So next week im riding a bike with no gas in the rear shock , hops like a mad bull over the smallest bumps ....

i managed to break the seal on the std one , wish I'd Never tinkered with it in the first place , and now I'm sitting in the situation I'm In .
And don't even Mention the word aftermarket - I spent a small Fortune already ...

Isn't the 400ex rear rebuildable?

Send it off to GT Thunder, Santo DeRisi, C&D Racing, etc for a rebuild. For a little more, you can get it revalved and resprung for your weight and riding style.

Later you can get some stock 450r fronts, and get them revalved/resprung to match.. and you'll have a bike that's as good as most aftermarket systems.
