2008 450r

i was looking at buying a pair of 2008 450r front shocks and i was wondering if they are any different from any of the other years?

Minor changes but are all the same as far as fit!

I have '08's on mine, and they fit fine.
replace upper fender mount nut, (knock it off w/ punch/hamer),
with a upside-down carraige bolt. minor trim on the upper shock mount to clear shock, and they bolt right on.

'08's have a bit stiffer spring than previous years, but I changed those to Works triple rates anyways. (I haven't even got to ride it yet with the new springs):(
