250R rear shock on 400ex?

[Slinky]

I have a stock 250R rear shock thats been revalved by PEP...will this fit on my 400ex? i have triple rate works non-rezzies on the front of my 400 and want something to eaven out the rear without spending much money.

[86 Quad R]

it will work but involves using the lower mounting eyelet from the 400ex shock. it also causes the rear to sit a bit higher and in some cases create a slight bind in the linkage area.


to work properly. the R shock should be shortened by atleast 1"
