300ex/400ex shockmounts for sale

[toby400ex]

Guys I dont sell these anymore. Im no suspension expert. Talk to Jeff@thequadshop about these things. Hes been using the shockmounts with 400ex shocks and extended 300ex a-arms. When i did this the only good thing I got out of it was better shocks for jumping but it sucked when i started harescrambles cuz of the horrible bump steer. The quad was way too twitchy. Listen too jeff, he has done alot of testing and knows his stuff.

Post some pics of the mounts, and how it mounts and stuff like that, people would probably be interested then, throw this post in the for sale forum too.

[toby400ex]

I dont sell these anymore.

[Live2Ride300]

Nice, I bet a few companys will start making these.

[toby400ex]

here is a pic the top bar with the prp logo is the shockmount, there is one on each side of the original shock mount, it all bolts up and will be available in red and black. It is made of 1 by 3/8" steel and 2 by 3/8" steel. It is strong as a mother and just as tough to cut. So you would save yourself a big pain in the arse to buy them from me.

[Live2Ride300]

Heres that pic -

It looks like a really good design to me.

[300exHILLER]

Show me a pic off your bike I know it's a prototype.

[300EX_HMF]

hey ill buy a set but i need to see some pics of it
and are they sturdy enough to handle jumps?


~! CLEAN UR PM BOX !~

[toby400ex]

Yes they are sturdy enough to handle jumps, although i havent done any huge doubles or anything with them i have done some xc races and some good sized jumps out on the trails, and now that i can use the digital cam i will get soem real pics, right quick.

[300EX_HMF]

please get the pics soon cause im interested in buying them
and is there any problems with them on like tierods hitting something

[toby400ex]

i just got the pics taken, and i havent had any probs with the tie rods hittin anything. The pics are kinda bad and the quad is dirty, im revising the plans on the mounts, they are gonna be a bit better designed, since im having a professional cut the metal. Ill have the pics up in a few minutes.

[300EXrider02]

yaaay..i wanna see em to, because that drwaing was beautiful:D ;)

[toby400ex]

Well the pics of the one i have now are ugly but i assure the new ones will look alot better, just hold on a few for the pics im having some troubles.

[toby400ex]

I dont sell these things anymore.

[toby400ex]

[300EX_HMF]

[2k2-300exnj]

[toby400ex]

I DO NOT sell these anymore.

[TRX_Thumper]

toby300ex....looks like to me with that mount your shocks are almost straight up an down....maybe thats good for jumpin but looks really stiff for cross country crowd....

[toby400ex]

.

[TRX_Thumper]

yeah thats all i do is woods racing an riding...how far apart have u spaced the shocks apart? top mount...from center of bolthole to center of bolthole

[2k2-300exnj]

thats all he does too i think he said they work good for him i talk to him online all the time

[toby400ex]

.

[300EX_HMF]

i just say its a full system cause i got an aftermarket head pipe its an e-series high flow header they will fit on the HMF slip on.

[300EX_HMF]

i just say its a full system because i got an aftermarket head pipe its an E-series high flow header and it fits on the HMF slip on
i cant get any pics now becuase i aint got any digital camara thing or scanner but here in a couple of weeks i will send one cause my dad is buying a scanner for the computer!

[300EXrider02]

ya same here.....toby300ex i want my shocks on an angle for that casue, i am goin to talk to this guy about the 400ex shock conversion, named countypark or somethin

[toby400ex]

i got a pic of the new mounts and you can now see that the angle is pretty, good. And i think i might lower the price, and good luck gettin ahold of countypark, he doesnt reply to quick.

[toby400ex]

:huh

[mod300ex]

how much r they....and if they bend or break or dont work do we get a complete refund?

[300EXrider02]

ya they dont look to bad now...werent u the one with the 400ex plastic with the quad thatb look sweet and clean as ****...what happened..hahaha your one of us now

[toby400ex]

I no longer sell these.

[Pvt. Maggot]

I would prob be very intrested in them, how much are you asking still 80? that seems a little steep...looks very good the second one looks alot better i would stick with that design. It looks just like the 400 angle...got to love those stock 400 shocks...i'm just keeping the stock back i've hit some pretty big jumps and never bottomed it out...

[frozenh2o]

You're gonna need steering stops, trust me. Take off the spring, reinstall the shock and compress it all the way, then turn the bars to full lock. The tie rod castle nut will hit the lower a-arm. It's gonna be painful if the tie rod end breaks off!!!!

Nice design, looks like you put a lot of thought into it. I would try to get the top spacing identical to a 400ex, so a guy could order a shock set up for a 400. Any change in the angles and the shock mfg won't get it right unless you give them a bunch of measurements that are difficult to make.

Also, feel free to copy my design, it lets you use the stock fender mount without mods. Uses a 3/4" square tube as the crossbar. Some pics are on another thread here.

[Live2Ride300]

Hey toby, I might need one of ur mounts, im not sure yet. Do you think you could custom make one for me? My works shocks are 15 and 3/4 inches long, from the end to end. Im not sure if I measured them correctly, heres a pic of how I measured them -
Im just wondering if you would be willing to custom make the mount for me if I needed it, thanx alot man.

[Live2Ride300]

Yup, exactly, if I end up needing it, I'll pm you and give you the measurements and everything. Thanx alot man

[Live2Ride300]

Ya, I really have no idea whats goin on w/ them. I think it might have to do w/ the angle of the shocks tho. Im still wating for the stiffer springs for them, so as soon as I get them I'll see how it is, I might want to get ur mount so the angle is the same as a stock 300 or stock 400. Are there any braces behind the mount? Can you post a pic of the back of the mount? Thanx man

[toby400ex]

[Live2Ride300]

The bracing you are talking about, is that the metal bar thing that supports the fenders? I cut that outta mine to fit a mount in there, my neighbor was makin one for me, but when I got my shocks they were shorter then expected so I didnt use it. Cutting that piece out doesnt effect nething at all.

[dad400ex]

This only my 2 cents,but I really think these are scarey to use,the stock shock mount should be cut off and a new one made and welded on(not bolted)with the correct degree angles,especially if you plan on using the 400ex a-arms.As this is the way I changed my 300ex to use the front shocks,a-arms,and I even use a stock 400ex swingarm on my 300ex.thanks and I'll help out whoever wants to mod their 300ex correctly,thanks

[dad400ex]

I fabricated many mods for things to work for quads and I found out a long time ago,if you start something,go all the way or why bother in the first place.You do you need the correct degree angle.I'm sorry if I upset anyone over just 2cents.Remember :Its always better to over kill on a Mod. than to be under.....

nice design, i'm gonna make me a set out of stainless and polish them:D ooooo shiney *drool*

maybe I'll round off a few edges, tweak it just a bit for looks... maybe weld it too, i dunno ...and before you guys even ask I am only making 2 of these, and one of them's going on my quad, the other on my girl's 250x. I'm not looking to steal any of toby's bussiness;)

Edit: maybe me, tinner, and toby should get into the air scoop/shock mount/skid plate business:huh

bump

[rap169]

"nice design, i'm gonna make me a set out of stainless and polish them ooooo shiney *drool* "

I dont suggest this, stainless steel isnt as strong and may bend easier.

[rap169]

i made mine a bit differently, did u make bushings for the original upper mount?

[toby400ex]

do you mean, like the space between the original shock mount holes, ii already had some from the failed durablue lowering kit i tried to use to do the front end conversion.:mad:

[rap169]

ya thats what i meant. What happed to the durablue mounts?

[toby400ex]

:D

[2k2-300exnj]

looks nice whos bike is in the garage

[dad400ex]

This is the way I did this...(Better than stock) With all the correct angles and degrees .

[Live2Ride300]

darn pic didnt show up:blah

[TRX_Thumper]

there is no possible way that can work right... look how straight up and down the shcok is...

why don't u guyz just do it right instead of screwin up ur steering... theres no way that can let the shocks work right bc the angles are so screwed up...

get the 400ex a-arms and custom length works... thats gotta handle like chit

get the 400ex a-arms and custom length works... thats gotta handle like chit I dont know about theres but my shock mount only made the top shock mount bolt holes 1/4 inch away from what the stock 400 shock mount is. It handled pretty well. The steering was kinda twitchy though. Well worth it though.

[4wheelboy]

those weld dont look too clean:o

[countypark]

I've been racing with this mount for 3 years.

Switching the spindles to 400ex this year.

How do you put a pic on here????
