Need to know if any aftermarket or stock parts will swap over to our quads?

I'm guessing wheels and tires for sure, handlebars and shocks?

Handlebars will.

Shocks will work with +2 a-arms but need a little machining at the mounts to fit.

YFZ and LTZ work as well the same way.

You might be able to get the bumper - but I'm guessing not too many parts will.

the front and rear wheels will, front brake cylinder, handlebars, clutch lever and thats probably it.

So - a set of aftermarket shocks, say the Fox shocks the pro's use on the Monster team - they will fit with a little work?

How about, say, the aftermarket A-Arms they run - no chance?

Will the rear shocks also work?

Anyone know on rear shock fitting?

And again, aftermarket a-arms like, walsh for example, they won't transfer over from KFX to TRX right?

im not sure about the rear but i know the fronts wont work. Maybe the rear would, but im not sure. Here are the measurements for the rear are:

top 1 inch
bottom od 1 3/8
bottom id 7/8
17 3/8 eye to eye

Thanks.

So what exactly would keep the fronts from working? Cause it looks like I can get some REALLY expensive shocks for a super good deal.

Anyway I could grind on the mounts to fit?

If not I may get these, re-sale em and get some good fitting shocks for the R.

I noticed. :eek2:

Looks like I can get the exact same shocks used by the Kawasaki team - really cheap. I only wish they would fit/work .... we'll see. Maybe I can modify them to work. hehe
