ok first off diamond j kits suck they are just cheap metal plates that bend very easy would not reccomend them at all. you do not need aftermarket a arms for shocks. banshee front shocks will bolt right on they do not have resevoirs though. there are no shocks that have resevoirs that will bolt right on except for aftermarket shocks made for the blaster
well said but a little harsh lol......... there are in fact no shocks with "ressies" that bolt up to stock a-arms........ the banshee front shocks are much better than stock, i love mine.reps for you 14
i got banshee shocks for sale, no rezz tho. i like the yfz shocks with the widended arms or extenxion kit
unless u have used it, stop going by what certain people say about that kit, i have beat the sh*t out of it and..........they dont bend
where do u find those kits cheap? i think i might make some or make my a arms to fit the shocks cuz i got some friends that work on quads and i think we could make something work and still be strong enough which would be better stock honda 450r shocks or yfz 450 shocks?
yeah yeah i didn't mean like all am shocks...... shoulda made myself more clear........... alright man you can get the diamond j kit at diamond j racing.com or visit their ebay store

i have never used honda shocks but i love the yfz shocks....and u can find the kits on ebay......lotsa guys will tell ya dont waste the money but if u are on a budget and cant afford aarms, then the kit will work just fine, the only thing i do say is get aftermarket tie rods.....the tie rod extension are junk and bend very easy
i have heard of people using ratchet straps to pull down the front so the shocks would fit......but a really bad idea, other than that i dont think so
^ that would work, but they say its not for jumping so i would think it would be pointless to go with yfz shocks if u not gonna be m' xing type riding
