Hey Guys First post, I was just wondering if somebody could tell me which shocks these are. Also I was wondering if the stock rear shock was dual rate or if a dual rate kit could be put on it. My rear is for sure dual rate but it is the stock shock. (checked a part number I found On it)

Looks like a 450r shock, which is a very common upgrade for 400ex owners. As far as the rear goes, stock are not dual rate, i think it can be done on a stock shock though. The rear was prob re valved and re sprung. Supposedly you can make the rear stock shock as good or better than aftermarket shocks by re-valving them and re-springing them.

Thanks for the fast reply, I cant find any on the web that look like them. The previous owner said they were White Brothers but I dont think they even make shocks.

Thats what I was thinking it was the closest thing I could find. Are they any good? I have never heard of them before today, when I was digging around on the net trying to find out what they are.

Also can you tell me what this is, connects to the rear shock link. Is it a lowering kit? It seems to be adjustable. Sorry for the stupid questions but I am still learning.

yes on the XC models, but those are the high end ohlins.
fish has the low end ohlins. the S36P model

it looks as if some idiot spray painted the rezzie and shocks body as well.

The Rezzies themselves look carbon fiber but the shock body looks like it has been painted at least 2 times.

While I have you guys what do you think about my rear shock? It is dual rate but the stock shock body was that possible? Sorry for the dumb questions but I hate not knowing what I own.

This is the only pic I have of it right now.

it very possible the previous owner sent the stock shock in to a shock builder and had them revalve the shocks and make it a dual rate.
is there a part number or brand name on the spring?
