Well, the shocks are on, and it feels like a totally different animal.

Where the shock passes to the mount on the lower a arm, where the tubing
sticks out a bit, it rests with no load right against the spring.
Im thinking I could grind this down the slighest bit and it would help.

Any one else have exp with the diamond J kit and 450r shocks (not widening just shock mounting)

 

post a pic of it. that would help ALOT

 

This part touches the spring.
Can I Grind It down?

 

just dont grind on the welds

 

Nah I know that much, just wondering if I am going to weaken the part at all if I take a little off, probably not...

Well, shes getting her first rid eon the 450 R fronts today, hope it all holds together!

 

i put 450r shocks on my 400ex and they will have you wore out .they are too stiff!!!

 

I dont agree, after riding it today, it was amazing, eat up the bumps logs rocks ruts and jumps like a champ, and the quad is so much more stable now on off camber situations

so comfy to ride but soaks up the bumps big time and jumps like landing on a pillow

now the rear feels sloppy

 

i ride pretty hard dont know how hard you ride but i took mine off put origanils back on.also i weigh 140 lbs that might make a difference

 

So what Do you guys think the aproxx weight req. is needed for 450r suspension on a 300ex?
Im also considering this mod.. Weigh in at (LOL) 155... 400ex maybe better?


Mainly Mud and Techinal trail ride

 

450r shocks are pretty much for jumping work good for that not so good for trails in my opinion.i have some 2006 450r shocks for sale if anybody is interested $200.00
