id like to take part in the giveaway, im in.

hahahahahaha

ehhhh, try again. the springs are rated for that load, the shocks only damp the motion. which brings up another point. vehicle shocks arent load bearing, unless you're getting them for a new prerunner.

oh ya, i totally agree. i wouldnt do it personally. im just saying with a lincoln its possible. not favorable but possible.

thats another league man. i think if i saw someone with monroe sensatracs on a shee, id punch him in the kidney.

thats absolutely fuckin sikk. how much would you charge to build me a set of those plated arms setup for 450 shocks? they look tits. hel i can weld them myself, how much for you to cut the parts?

their need for cake isnt a feeling, its an addiction, a big boned one. haha

Paul is the shit, that guy has helped me with tons of technical data i could never find on here.

bump

any updates?

1. I totally agree with that. I have pulled banshees out of yamaha shipping crates and the parking is only marginal at best. 2. Another agreement, that shit is like butter. And a bitch to weld also.

i too tihnk they would be stiffer, but they arent going to be prefect anyways. id say go fo it if you can find a smokin deal.

i think the raptor 700s this year have a 450 front end.

cut/fab and it will fit. but it lowers the shit out of the front of your quad. there are pix of a conversion floating around here somewhere.

have you checked clearances with the upper a-arm? they may not even fit.

big red, you need some sun on them legs! Firehead, you seem very proficient with your bike. you may consider doing the rebuilds yourself. i wrote an article on redoing the rear and would be more than happy to answer an questions you may have. also, i looked into doing my fronts myself also since i too run the 450 shocks. its seems very straight forward. plus dont you have some CNC experience? if you redid the rear, it wouldnt be hard to copy the new valve design and scale it down to fit the smalled diameter front bodies. ive been thinking about this for quite some time.

ya, i hear snoopy can port like a mother fucker.

market yourself as a tyrannosaurus rex deterrent. then proclaim how your $500/hr services are needed at all major concerts, off road races, and beer chugging contests for the safety of others. BAMO instant job security.

Brads bike has a magical force field that keep it from getting dirty. and you too can have one, its a meth habbit. after a few hot rails of some good ice he gets out a dirty t shirt and spits polishes the whole thing. i think.

what the difference in rebuilt 450's and some new elkas? call me dumb, but wheres the difference? Ive never seen the two side by side. if youre looking for HS/LS comp and reb adj then i can see it. but between somemid range elkas or works where is it? The 450s have a gigantic body, a thick shaft, and a piggyback with clickers. The builder is going to change the valve, and then obviously the shim stacks. if you go back with good parts, a nice slick fluid, and a dual rate setup with quality springs then whats so different? at that point it should be up to the tuner to get his settings right on the inside and let the consumer fine-tune with the clickers. just some thoughts.

i think im going to go buy D2G now, just cause i keep thinking about it. Mccoys a badass.

take a pic anways, now youve got me curious.

ya, a casual prerun would be the shit. Mike do they charge you to prerun if youre not entered?

that not joke. you cant piss in a junkyard with out hitting some SBC parts.
