450r shock and linkage

[C41Xracer]

will a 450r rear shock and linkage work on a 400ex frame?

[BossHogg420]

no

out of curiosity why not?

i guess i forgot something.... would the swing arm from a 450r bolt up to a 400ex also?

i thought that the swinger and shock worked but its pointless to do it cause the rear shock isnt any better than the ex one.
