[acrtheone]

I saw this idea on a thread on this website decided to try it out. I thought it worked well. This is what they lood like on my yfz.

Post your your opinions/comments

anybody elce who has done this post your pics.

[acrtheone]

another

[jal232]

I know it adds up to 5% more H.P. on the low end

[Dr89]

haha dude i thought i was the first to do this! i was gonna make a thread myself...i tell ya its impossible these days to have an original idea lol. what thread did you see it on?

heres mine with red bull

[Dr89]

close up

im thinking of finding somethin that matches better but, this is what i had so i wanted to try it haha

[acrtheone]

i can't remember where i saw it because it was a couple of months ago when i saw it.

you can maybe try the monster assault, it has red tears with black,gray camo background that would maybe be good

[Dr89]

alright sweet i'll definitely look for those....i wanted monster to begin with but these were on top of the fridge so....haha. but thanks...who thought i'd be hitting the gas station tomorrow to buy somethin for my quad other than gas....:confused:

[Elikito]

Looks good!
Dr89 I saw a lot of people with the Red-Bull on the shocks :rolleyes: Still looks nice :)

[Dr89]

man and i still haven't seen it anywhere! haha where do people get this stuff

[jim_beam_racer]

i aint got a picture but mines got coors light as ressy covers

[Hammer trx450r]

are you trying to heat the shock up quicker, causing shock fade premature. Great idea:huh

[Dr89]

yes i believe thats exactly what we're all going for. :rolleyes:

[Ryan Plaugher]

Please tell me your joking, how is a thin peice of aluminum going to hold heat in the shock?

[ny300exrider]

check mine out if you can see the rear rezzy...sparks black top

best drink ever:cool:

Your right, most of you with this mod dont ride long and hard enough to make a diference

[#17YFZRACER]

lets not get this thread locked like the 2009 yfz motor thread did:ermm:

[Ryan Plaugher]

Haha, man its not going to hurt anything. i dont care how hard you ride.

budwiser would match real good

[Dr89]

TRUE DAT....haha that sucked!!

yea im not sure when that heat thing got turned around but of course i was being sarcastic when i said that's what we were going for :huh

that little can has no chance of hurting a single thing, thats rediculous

[acrtheone]

i dont really think such a thin piece of aluminum will bother my shocks that much, but anyway i dont know how long they are going to last, they might fall off they are only held on by wire ties

[jim_beam_racer]

i dont see how there gonna get heated up with the can and i did ride good and hard when i did motorcross

[#17YFZRACER]

i dont think it hurts anything but who knows

[BiDo]

thats insane those can things wont do a thing and even if they did or if you just want to make sure nothing happens you could always drill holes on the back side in an orderly pattern to look good. I might put cans on my quad.

[Hammer trx450r]

Next time you ride hard for 20 minutes feel how hot your shocks are.

But i guess they would be fine for riding wheelies in the street

[Dr89]

yea i forgot aluminum doesn't dissipate heat :rolleyes: oh wait, yea it does.

Hammer, you do realize that we're cutting huge holes in the top and bottom to make it fit, and mine is cut down the back as well...so there's absolutely no way its holding heat in...i didnt know if maybe you thought we were just sliding the whole cans on over it or what.

[Hammer trx450r]

Well hell then lets put a sheet of aluminum across our radiators then.:p

[Dr89]

as long as it looks cool....:mad:

[BiDo]

OH! cool idea!!!:eek2: we should cover our exhaust pipes in cans, dam that would look cool;)

[Ryan Plaugher]

Hammer trx450r so far I have three websites of people saying your a tard**s!

Dude your the tard *** that has to go ask 3 websites something your so sure about.:p :p :p

[Hammer trx450r]

Look im not breaking balls, to most of you it doesnt matter. Draggin, wheelies intthe back yard, couple laps around a track isnt gonna bother the shocks at all. Ressies are there to 1.hold more oil to keep temps down and 2 have a place for the oil to cool down. Now elka has ribs on their ressies to help dissapate heat.

Now you tell me that if you were very hot would you rather stand stand naked in the wind, or wear a thin windbreaker outfit?
I have never seen a pro that put these on his shocks, especially when sponsered by MONSTER, you would think they'd be the first ones doing it.

[Hammer trx450r]

Do we atleast all agree that shocks fade when they get hot??????

[Hammer trx450r]

If yes then repeated overheating of the shock will also wear it out faster correct????

And yes Dr89 alum does dissipate heat, but did YOU forget air is an insulator?

[#17YFZRACER]

this is some funny a** $h!t to read:)

[BiDo]

its ok hammer, you put cans on your quad too. Then when we do wheelies together we can look cool together as well. I love how you insist that we all just pull wheelies and drag. maybe if you ride were i do and half of the 2000 acres of trials are covered with whoops you'll change your mind. Oh and i dont think most of us would go long travel and bore out or spend close to ten grand to do wheelies either. we might not be as good as pros but we ride just as hard.:macho

[#17YFZRACER]

i think we should all be friends:D no but for real it shouldn't matter what brand you ride or how you ride it as long as you ride something with four wheels your a friend of mine:ermm:

[BiDo]

thats cool but you dont have to classify someone by how they ride, its like saying they suck becuase they dont go to the track and actually USE their quad to its somewhat full potential. I still think we should think about coating our exhausts in monster cans:p

Dude you got a complex there. when di i ever say that wheelie riding and dragging was for people who suck? :p :p
Riding wheelies and dragging just doesnt use the front shocks to the abuse of MX or XC. But thats funny you thought that:p :p

[Hammer trx450r]

Nobodys gonna take a stab at my questions? How bout 10,000 dollar boy?

[Dr89]

haha yes, overheating does cause shock fade, but there isn't anyway these cans are gonna speed that up, they're just fun.

when we start putting coozies(sp?) on our shock cans then you can complain...come to think of it i think i have some pretty nice GIANTS coozies around here somewhere...hmm :p

[Gray33]

I have a question how do you guys put cans over your shocks like that i have a yfz 450 and i want to put a mosnter can with the green dripping thing on it

[TGA400EX]

Some people use zipties im pretty sure.

[Gray33]

i am guessing you cant put them on the yfz 450 s tock shocks?

[Ryan Plaugher]

you can put them on any shock with a reservoir.

[Gray33]

My resviors on my 07 bb ediotn would they work?


and ryan do you have any used parts to sell me for a yfz?

Also where do you ride at up around lima

[Ryan Plaugher]

What parts are you looking for? and i usually just ride the tracks and trails we have here or go to wayne national and haspen acres in Indiana. The cans will work in ur shocks do you have pic messenging if so ill send you a pic of the size of can you need.
