Are they ride height adjustable? I might try and adapt them to my 400.

And if you feel im insulting you im sorry, but would you take maybe $110 shipped for them? Ive seen them before that cheap and im super tight on money

i'm not sure about all the adjustments. you'd have to ask someone smarter than me. i was going to use them on my 400 with a diamond j shock widening kit. the top eye of the shock is appx. a 1/4'' wider than the 400ex shock. i could do 125.00 shipped. thanks

Ok.

But what your saying is it would take excessive grinding on the sides of the shock to even get it to bolt it? I'm not quite sure I want to do that. I'll think about it.

Thanks!

they would have to be ground down. that is why i was going to use the brackets from the shock widening kit.

Well by ground down do you mean like this?

Or the top part so it fits inside the mount?

We just did the modification to put kfx 450r front shocks on my kfx 400. The upper shock is 1/4" too large. My buddy cut 1/8" off each side of the upper shock with a hand held band saw - called a port-a-band - through the bushing too. Nice clean cut. He then sanded them on an electric sander. It looks so clean you would think it came from the factory that way. A perfect fit in the upper shock mount. Took about 45 minutes to do it.
