nobody?? i know someones running this shock, maybe i didnt see it, i searched the forum a couple times, someone help me out
pretty sure they're way longer than the blasty's, prolly gonna have to make a new mounting point for the bottom, which changes the shocks geometry, imo, not worth doing, just get the honda 400ex or 450r, much simpler and just as good
You dont need to change the mounting point. Just cut the lower bracket and drill new holes. Get a new grade 8 bolt to hold it in place. up top you will need a few washers and another new bolt. its real easy. raises the rear of your blaster up a little.
or do you cut the bracket on your swingarm?? im guessing thats what you mean... maybe a simple diagram?!?
cut about 2 inches off the bottom and redrill, if u want to cut more off for a lower seat height u can im about to cut and redrill mine im up real high ,also im 275 its does sink a lil but not much
it doesnt have to be stiff. i was looking at a step by step way to adjust ur shock three differ ways to allow for a much more comfortable ride. i will try to find it and post it.
from my knowledge i would think to just get a 400ex because it bolts right on. the 450yfz shock u have to modify to fit.
