I have a set of kfx450 shocks sitting in my garage I'm looking to throw on a 400ex. I know it will not be a direct bolt on swap, mounts will need to be modified, etc, that is why I need a couple measurements from you guys. I wish I could get them myself but my local Kawasaki dealer shut down. I'd greatly appreciate it.

Shock center eye to center eye (red) = 16.25"
Measuring from lower A-arm swing axis (perpendicular):
swing axis to lower shock eye (green) = ?
swing axis to upper shock eye (blue) = ?
swing axis to lower spindle ball joint = ?
If I can get the geometry similar, what did you guys do to loosen up the front a bit? Couple notches down on the compression?
