    400 vs 45o suspension questions

    I just got off the phone with a local guy selling lonestar standard travel +2 a-arms, an elka rear shock, and a gforce axle. He said they're for a Honda but not sure what model. The elka is 14.5 eye to eye. Is this the same as my 400? Also what size a-arms will fit on the 400 frame? I believe he said the uppers were 6 3/4" inside to inside.

    My quad isn't home right now. It's at a friend's house hence why I am asking someone else.

    Fronts: 400ex shock is about 16 inches, a 450r is 16.5 inches.

    Rear: 400ex is 15.5 inches, 450R rear is 14.75.

    Rear shock sounds like a 450r shock.

    No idea about the a-arms other than 450r arms will not work period the mounts are different and 250r arms need to be trimmed slightly.

    Please post the year of 450R when listing rear shock lengths. 06+ rear 450R shock length is 15.25".

    That rear shock won't benefit you since it's wayy too short.
