Default 2001 Honda 400ex Front Shocks....

Hey all,


I have a 2001 400Ex... The front shocks are shot...

I don't need a $400+ set of shocks, the stock shocks are just fine.

Are all sport quad shocks the same? In other words, would a set of front shocks from a '04 Z400 work on the '01 400ex? Or front shocks from another brand/model?

I am looking on ebay as i know alot of people take a brand new quad and replace the shocks right away, so i'm hoping a can pick up a set for a good price.


Thanks for the help,

-ThaChad

Are the shocks ruined or just the collars and sleeves? The reason I ask is that you can now purchase those parts separately from Honda. You just need to look at the diagrams for a 2003 or 2004 to get the part numbers.

No Idea... When you push down on the front end, its all spring... There is no soft pillow feel..

Are all the front shocks the same? Like for the Z400?

There are a bunch of Z400 stock shocks on ebay... Only seen about 2-3 for the 400ex....

Thanks,

The z 400 shocks are longer, by 2-3 inches.
