I've been debating whether to get 450r shocks or keep my stock shocks on my 400ex. Is the ride any different? How much would the shocks cost?

 

[tomgodd]

I have seen them on Ebay going for 175-225. I have some I just want to get them revalved before I put them on. And yes they make it ride better. When you hit a jump front first it absorbs better they have more adjustment.

They are going for about 250 to 300 on Ebay and yes the ride would be much better, I want to convert to 400ex a-arms and 450R shocks

I heard you have to grind down the eyes on the top and botttom of the shock where it bolts in?

 

[tomgodd]

Wow! They are going for that much! I have not looked at them in a long time. I got mine from a buddy that bought a new 08 and bought arms and shocks they day he got his quad. I think but not sure because I bought a couple of things from him at the time, but I think we agreed on around 70 dollar bills. I bought a WhiteBros exhaust for him and sold it the next day. He is one of those great guys Spend big money and sells it cheap!

 

[tomgodd]

I am not sure. I know they fit. I have seen them on many. I will find out when I get to mine.

They sed it wasnt to big of a grinding job. just like and 8th of an inch or so.

 

[tomgodd]

I will call a buddy that did it and ask him 2morrow. If I get the chance, his kid rides 400 with that mod.

 

[Country Boy]

Ok. thanks. Would it amke ur ride sit a little higher than usual because the different travel lenghts?

 

[tomgodd]

I have seen quad with them they did not look different. I don think it really changes that. Its not that much longer if I remember correctly

 

[mud99]

I would like to have a set for mine

 

[moto134]

i had them on mine but like i said i weigh 135 lbs and they kicked my ass and i like to jump.yes you do have to grind just a little bit no biggie.paid 2 bills for mine.

 

[Redracer]

I sold mine for 200. Don't pay more than 225 for a set. The KFX450 has better front shocks than the TRX, I have seen people use them on the EX too.

 

[69quadracer]

Don't have the fronts anymore but if someone is interested i do have a rear of my TRX450ER.

 

[TRX2fiveO]

I'd like the rear 450R shock but I'm not sure if it will work on my 250X or not? if any one knows that info it would be great.

You guys both need to measure from eyelet to eyelet.

 

[TRX2fiveO]

That would be with my shock removed right? I don't care if it's a little longer I can compress it to fit besides it may ride better than my shock now. lol

[tomgodd]

You probly should measure compressed and extended as well

 

[Redracer]

Yeah, that SHOULD be the only reason it wouldn't fit. Would you have a place to squeze the rezzy in there? Like the fronts, you may have to grind a bit.

I saw a pair of fronts on ebay for about 300 dollars. Is that a good price or can u get them cheaper somehwere else?
