pre the 4 strokes whgat did the pros run for a-ams?

[brandonpeake]

I have saw one of santo derisis's bikes ansd it was a roll design bike and it was LT., I read borich ran laeger but i was looking st some pics of Ballance's aluminumn framed LRD bike and it was axis shocks but it looked like standard travel and a sde note what are the lenght eye to eye on 250R shocks, I had heard of people running 450R shocks on them but theyu didnt fit quite right, can they be made by say someone nlike gttthunder to work right, all info appreciated

[250r rider 88]

i believe it is 16 1/2" eye to eye, the 450r shock will mount right up but will make the ride hieght higher and the overall ride stiffer, if you were to have someone revalve them and make them a triple rate they will work well (some people on here have done it with much success)

as far as pros in the day roll design, laeger, walsh, lonestar,i believe one of the last 250r's Ballance rode had an ARS-FX custom front end that was never produced for anyone but him (correct me if im wrong here)

hope this helps

Yokley ran Roll Design, Borich used t-pin laegers. '02 or '03 Ballance and Matt Smiley ran the ARS\fx arms. I bought a set from Mr. Smiley's quad and they use a 17.25 inch front shocks. They are +1 in width and 0 forward. I also have a set of +1 Roll Design XC arms and they use a 17 inch shock.

back in the day, laeger was the choice starting in the early 90z

I run 450r shocks on my R. I use Herrmann +1 wide +1 forward standard travel arms. My 450r shocks have been rebuilt triple-rate zps for my weight and XC. Big name shops like C&D, GtThunder, Derisi and JHracing can all do the conversions. Just tell them its for a 250r/400ex geometry. The conversions arent cheap, but they handle great.
