[87HONDATRX250X]

Okay Ive decided i should just get some stock 450 shocks. Problem i have now is what picking a set to suit my needs. I ride track and im going to try racing next year. I have stock a-arms with offset 2+3 itp rims. I weight 140 lbs. Thanks for any input or advice.

p.s.
If any one knows of a place in Canada were i can get shocks rebuilt cheap please let me know. Thanks

kfx450 shocks are real good, you will have to cut/mill down the top eyelet.

yfz will put your front end a bit lower. also good shocks

honda shocks are the easiest to install, i think there is a thread in the sticky

i don't know anything about ltr450 shocks but i think there is a few people running them. search the back threads for that one.

Thanks for the links. The kfx one didnt work. I think i might go for the yfz. My buddy was going to buy a 400ex with ktm 450 shocks on it. Never seen it done before but wow does it handle nice.

i was going to try to get some ktm shocks but i thought they were too short.
