50$ a shock for new oil/seals.... THe 450 shocks would be fine for your casual rider... but chances are if your bottoming out on a regular basis your more than the "casual" rider.... You also can't even think of putting the 'shee shocks on a 450... the geometry of the two bikes is COMPLETELY different... which is one of the main reasons I'm against this... Mike

I picked up my front elkas for 312$ to the door used.... In there worst day elkas are 10x as good as some wedged in yfz450 shocks.... If your into any kind of serious riding I don't think the yfz450 shocks are anything but a waste of money... unless you get them rebuilt.... then all you have a 700$ pair of rebuilt stock shocks.... If they suck on one quad why would you buy them to put on yours ..... Mike

I'm with ya Jim.... When I first bought my 'shee and it detonated not 2 weeks later those were the guys that got me back on my feet.... When I first joined on here I didn't know the difference between my head and a hole in the ground.... Kinda justifies me dropping a little coin to help the site out... god knows how much headache/money this place has saved me over the years... Not to mention some dickhead I know in cali that hooked a bruddah up with a swingarm... you don't happen to know him do ya ? Mike

Got a little something on your nose jim .... Mike

I'll be putting together my motor ... you fuckers be sure to get plenty of pics and video .... 1010$ at nmotion.. it's alittle hard for me to sit down right now.. Mike

Just be careful when taking it apart and putting it back in so you don't pinch the o-rings... My 'shee had smaller domes in it when I bought it... detonated on me before I even knew what a cool-head meant... Mike

They're all basically the same thing... best advice is just try one on if you can to see if you like it... All of them have next to no side protection... the only way you can get that is the SixSixOne race vest or the alpinestar getup... Mike

Their waking the fallen cd owned.... I seen them and KMK a week apart this year ..... Mike

Haaaaa..... Mike

Did you even read a this section before you posted? There's six threads below this one asking basically the same damn question.... Mike

Flipping your front rims will give you more bump steer than shitty a-arms ever thought of.... Also... I nice set of a-arms will also cure a little bit of bump steer.... The average rider Ie: The people that run wheel spacers, wider offset rims or flipped fronts wouldn't even notice the bump steer in stock form.... but it's there.... an by fucking up and already fubared bike as far as suspension geometry goes it throws the whole train off the track.... Mike

Not to mention the fact it'll handle like snot covered shit.... Scroll down to the bump steer thread... then scroll down to the custom axis thread.... By then you should realize just save your money and do it right the first time... Been there, done that... Doing anything to the front end shy of a set of good tires and shocks is a waste of money.... Mike

That's a really good hookup to have... We know a guy at the dealership were my pop picked up his 04 f250 psd.... FULLY loaded lwb right off the lot at the first of 04 for 33k and some change... I have drove a couple of the HD's.... Tend to forget your in a ford truck.. which is what your going for right? Mike

Well you can d/l google tool bar for free.. it comes with a spell check... from there type hooked on phonics... get that on order.. pass.. then come back and decipher your post into something half way legible.... Then we'll be more than happy to help you out... Mike

You got more for your money... why be upset? Mike

Matt seeing as how you are in the middle of so cal... I'm sure you could easily find a local suspension guru that doesn't rape you with the charges... IMO 50$ per shock every 4 months for me is not bad at all... I have mine done at J-H racing (johnny hale's race shop)... Not to mention the turn-around time.... Justin, A shock fading that fast has other issues.. It takes a good 2 months of mx tracks for my shocks to go slightly downhill.... On a side note.. this is one of the most informative threads the hq has seen iin a grip.. Mike

Well shit .... Mike

Does Greyhound run to Waynoka? My motor will be here wed..... It's still a possibility.... Mike

Something like that... I know that dune demon is a eibach rep so It prolly had something to do with that... I don't know the full details so I'll leave it at that as to try to keep my foot out of my mouth... Race-a-holic: I'm highly doubting that he was trying to run your name in the mud... Just a mis-understanding... everyone has been there... simmer down ... Mike

Yes, Justin is running those arms...I'd take custom creations stuff over LSR anyday of the week.... Mike

Everything possible has went wrong this past week... My motor is still in KS, my trailer has a busted spring, Company fucked up my check..... I don't think I'm gonna make it... I could make it... but I wouldn't have my bike... Mike
