400ex rear shock on 250r frame

[Motofool250r]

does it work?

250r shocks as ive been told by many shock rebuilders are often too far oout of tolerance to rebuild so looking for a cheaper option to send out for a rebuild then a 1000$ rear shock for my heavy *** 250lb self and +6 swinger for duning

400ex stock rear shock doesn't work. the rezzi is to big to go either direction the linkage works great but you need to make some spacers where it bolts to the frame and use one of the inner races that rides on the bearing to bolt up to the swingarm becuase of the size difference in the bolts

does the ressie hit the air box or is it hitting frame rails?

Gets in the way of the carb or if you flip it around, the intake boot with stock carb and intake boot. Maybe if you run aftermarket im not sure tho.
