Has any one put 400ex Aarms on a 300ex was it a lot of trouble and did it make that much of a difference in the handling I am on the trails most of the time thanks for your hlep

 

Bolting on the a arms is pretty simple, you will also need 400ex tie rods, and a kit or bracket to remount the top shock mounts, 400ex shocks are a lot longer than stock 300ex. You will gain about 50 percent more travel up front, makes bumps and landings from bigger jumps a lot easier, you can trail ride faster because the front end will soak up a lot more rough stuff, and the wider front end will have you handling a lot better. Follow it up with some spacers for the back to widen it up to match the front, and it will rail the corners real nice. I also put a 2001 Raptor shock on the back of my son's 300ex, much better damping, an inch more travel, and it has compression and rebound adjustments. You will need to put a longer hose to the resivoir to get it to a decent place to clamp to out of the way, so it won't get hit by the chain or the swing arm.

 

Hey thanks a lot it does not sound that bad have been looking on Ebay and there every thing I will need just didnt know how much of a difference it would make sounds like it a great deal better will have to give it a try.

 

Where can you buy the kit or brackets at ?

 

Does diamondjcustoms on Ebay make something for this? He makes a lot of conversion stuff, etc. Search for diamonjcustoms under user names or whatever and look at all of his products.

 

Thanks.

 

ive got a shock mount i need to sell, its not a diamon j customs one, but it is really beefy. and worked great.
