YFZ shock conversion
yes it does depending on preload. I set my preload about 1/2 inch from the top of the shock and it droped the front end and widened too. The ride was great, it felt alot more stable and handled way better to me. It provided a softer ride as well. During the last race I broke the right shock so I am looking for a replacement and when I get it I am having both shocks re-valved for my weight and putting a gold valve in them. I'll post up how they do after that.

I was quoted like 489 to do both fronts, and 350 to gold valve and re spring the rear for a +2 swingarm. I also plan on getting the spring upgrade from works for the YFZ front shocks. I called back in Oct. last year and they were working on a dual or tripple rate replacement spring like they did for the honda so it is probally out by now, they quoted a price of around 200 for those. I will hold off untill I see how they perform with just the re valve and how it feels whith increased pre load. The only reason for multi rate springs is to allow for a stiffer spring rate for large impacts and still have a smaller light spring for the little stuff so it's not so ruff. But since I desert race the extra 200 might not be worth it just to soften up the little bumps, I dont trail ride enough for that, but who knows.

not sure if they will clear, I took mine off long ago. I got my YFZ's for 200, so if I spend all this money I'll have about 800 in them plus whatever it will cost to buy a replacement for the one I screwed up. I want to find a bad shock that isnt bent so I can use it to fix my bent one, maybe I'll get off cheap. If I had the 800 all at once I would have just bought some elkas or something but when you build on a budget it sometimes costs you more in the long run. Oh well at least when i am done I bet they will work better than elkas anyway.
