Best motion ratio

[So Cal Suspension]

The only reason I said that the 250r was the best geometry until 2004, was because when the YFZ came out, it handled better and had more travel than the 250r. The Laegars and LSR long travel chassis were modeled after the 250r's. Notice how they're not around, or worth anything anymore? Frankly, their nothing compared to what a stock YFZ450 can do.

 

As far as shock lengths, If you duplicate the 2009+ YFZ45R front end exactly, then you would be able to use any stock length YFZ450R shock.

i was thinking of getting the longest shocks i could find that have the most travel on them. I read that elka would be my best bet, maybe 19.5". but ill see how my budget works out. thanx for all your input Matt.
