YFZ shocks on +2 +1 arms

[kenr74]

Is anybody running the YFZ shocks on aftermarket arms? I'm thinking about buying some arms but want to see how the bike sits with the YFZ shocks. Lets see some pics.

To get the ride height the shocks are too soft. They are great at first but you over work the shock and it heats up fast and it fades. I dont recomend them for anything else then simple trail riding. The shock mount needs to be placed out further toward the wheel like the yfz. You get alot more travel with the 450 shock because it is longer but in that position a longer shock is overworked and needs heaver springs.

I ride almost all sand so I think they would be alright for how I would use them. Nobody actually has them mounted up?

Well i just got them with my +2+1 a-arms but havent gotten a chance to try it out yet. Some people love the shocks, others dont like them as much. I bet they are far far better than stock and for $200 on ebay, its definatley worth it.

I have them mounteted on Armadillo +2 A-arms and I love 'em. It sits up higher in the front, though. It wheelies a lot easier.........that can be good or bad. Handling is a lot better. I haven't hit any big jumps yet.
