I am currently running 450r shocks on the front, and they bolt up with no problems. Stock 450r shocks might ride too stiff though. I ran a set of 05 450r shocks on stock a-arms and it was way stiff. Since then, i now run 450r shocks that are re-valved, re-sprung triple rate w/ zps, and they handle great. As for the rear, i don't think it will fit because of the linkage differences, and because it has a top or piggyback mounted resivor (sp).

Yeah i have a few pic's but i cant get them to ever post on here. I can e-mail them to you if you give an e-mail or if someone else can post them? I run a WORKS Ultracross rear shock for the last 5 years on the rear with no complaints.
