I got bored tonight and decided to put my 450r shock on tonight with the 450r frame to shock linkage and the stock 400ex dogbone. Man what a difference. Im assuming my 400 stock shock was wore out so this made for a nice plush ride and it lowered me a little so im very happy with that. I didnt get to try it jumping yet but i will in due time. Everything went on extremely smooth. I was going to swap the EX swinger with the 450r one but i didnt think i would benefit from it since its the same length.

That would be great if you could get some pics up.I'm thinking about putting the 06 R swinger on mine when I do the R Rear brake upgrade.If I remember right the 06 R swinger is 1.5" longer then the 400ex.

here are some pics of it. I only have one of the actual shock but the linkage i used is the stock 450r frame to shock then the stock 400ex shock to swinger. BTW this is the 400ex i only payed $550 for :blah:
