does anyone have any 450r shocks for sale. also what year is the best model to fit a 400ex. and does it matter if the rear is from and 2006 450r and the fronts are from a 2005??

I just installed 450r fronts and just want to let you know that no grinding on the top of the shock is neessry to mount them.
you do however have to grind a small piece on the frame, its not actually the frame , just a piece that comes off it.

This way you can mount them rezzies out or in and they wont look chewed up.

Will fronts and back shocks off a 450r fit a 400ex or just the fronts.

got a hold of a set of 04 450r shocks all around, they all fit in very nice only mod is a slight touch to the grinding wheel on the top edge of the shock. shock ride great. the adjustability is a major plus it lowers the ride height about a 1/2 an inch.

I just went out yesterday to test the shocks. They are much different than the stockers. I took out almost all the preload and set the rebound fast and the compression slow. They still need to be tweaked.
