Default Z 400 shocks

I want to know what other shocks I can put on my 03 Z 400. Since they dont have the adjustability as others do. The 05 and up shocks will work right? What about other quads? I dont what too much crap to modify, just bolt them up and go. Also meaning I dont want to tear my nice Z up. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Yes the '05 and up will work..... I'm not sure what other stockers are an exact match. I think even the LT-R450 shocks would require some modification...... Look on ebay you can often find newer LTZ shocks from 2005 and up for a decent price....

do you need anything else for the 450r shocks to work on an 03 ltz400? I know a guy selling his shocks and A arms. I didn't know if I would need both or just the shocks. Thanks

A number of years ago I sent my Z400 rear shock to TCS and they rebuilt it with new springs and valving and it worked 10 times better.

Cataway did you keep the stock rear shock? also what year 450r did your shocks come from.
