Default YZF shocks on a Raptor??

will the front shocks from a yzf fit on a raptor?? I got a chance to get some for 200 bucks and I know they have compression and rebound damping so would like to get those for now, alot cheaper than elkas and way better than my stockers, better than works too. What have you heard about swaping them out.

they work, you just have to shave a few parts off the stock shock brackets which i believe takes a few minutes, there is a thread that i know of that has pisture instructions ..I will forward..

Hey guys i did the switch and i love the shocks.. a lot better then stock but there is still a noticable difference between elkas. It is easy to install them you just have to shave a little bit of the yfz shock to fit in the raptor brackets. -Cruz-

It looks as if Big Scary has some plus 2 A-arms. Thats awesome that they fit +2 arms. I hope my big *** doesn't bottom them out.
