    Shocks

    Anyone know if 450SX shocks would bolt up to an LTR? To me they look longer. I think LTR shocks are around 17.5" eye to eye. Anyone know the length on SX shocks?

    Do you think they would work? Could revalving resolve the extra inch?

    Hahahahaha Im going to have to disagree with that. The wp's are stiff, thats for sure. But after a valving and respring they can easily compete on the national level with great success

    Wayne from PEP is doin tons of work on these shocks. For 1500 he is redoing all of these shocks with internal modifications along with revalve and respring to get another inch of travel out of all 3 shocks I believe. And Jody from JB Racing is modifying the stock aarms to accomidate the extra travel.

    Bringing them to the level of PB1's is a pretty tough task in itself! I personally think they are the best shocks on the market so getting them to that level is pretty rough
