What is the reason for drilling out the bottom shock ears??

I didn't have to do that on my 400ex.

yea defientyl, but im doing it in my skool, so i wont have pics of me auctally doing it.

no the bottom where it bolts to the swing arm. i dont feel like buying busings for that, so i will just drill it out. and its stronger if i do.

 

[slickerthanyou]

So you have to drill out the mount on the swinger? I didn't have to do that either.

no, no, no lol only on the bottom of the shock, so i can use the stock bolt that went through there. itsjust eaiser and stronger than buying bushings to fit it

Isn't that what i said above?? I guess maybe my terminology is wrong then... I understand however, maybe my shock came pre-drilled??? I had to do no drilling at all.

yea maybe.... but the stock 400ex hole is 10mm, and the blaster is 12mm, and in Ken's video, he did the same, and drilled it out. maybe when u bought ur's, the guy had it on a blaster.

 

[slickerthanyou]

Must of been. Well this is good to know!

 

[Quadrider10]
