KFX450R or HONDA 450R front shocks.

[JACK STRAW]

the kfx 450r fronts are dual rate and the honda 450r are not. i want to upgrade to one or the other. i do some jumping (nothing crazy), rocky trail riding like @ hatfield, and no racing. so what is better for my application.thanks

My friend who has an EX with GTT (never rode on any decent suspension that has ever came from there) rebuilt 450R fronts prefers my stock KFX450 shocks over his rebuilt 450R's.

Most people will have no comparison and will say that 450R's are the way to go but honestly, the 450R shocks suck. They suck on the 450R just like they do on a 400EX.

So, stock KFX450 shocks or Honda 450R's rebuilt that will possibly perform similarly for a lot more money.
