I have laying around a PEP Zero Preload shock w/ baldwin linkage both go together for a 400ex MX setup. I'm looking for a 06+ 450r setup, preferably XC rear shock & linkage.

I will buy or trade, doesn't matter much. I just need a setup!!

Doesn't need to be XC, just thought I'd like it better. I have on my 400ex an axis shock that I absolutely love, and I'd love to have another. This PEP w/ Baldwin linkage came from my Hybrid.

Let me know!!

I have the stock linkage that will work if the rear shock is standard travel...

Won't work, but thanks. The legs on the pep shock are shorter and won't let it mount to the stock linkage, I already tried. I have it on temporarily so I can move the bike around but it's no good I don't think. Seems like it travels ok but it sits about an inch and a half higher than the stock shock and linkage.

Unless someone can tell me that this Baldwin link and pep long travel shock for a 400ex will work safely for my 06 450r, and that thr increase in seat height is normal or ok, then I need something else.

the 400ex link and shock will not work on the 06+ 450r swing arm, well it may mount up is not very safe. A aftermarket 04/05 swing arm will work with your 400ex link and shock though!
