Has anyone turned their front shocks over on the Raptor? I know there was a message on here dealing with this but I never heard if anyone has actually turned their front shocks over. I am planning on it but just wondered if anyone has any info on this issue.

That's highly doubtful!! I have to wonder if the suspension action is better though, due to less unsprung weight. Wonder though if the damping would be compromised as a result of oil drain-down within the shock. If anyone tries it, please let us know!

The FMF advertisement had the raptor shocks turned upside down. I e-mailed FMF to find out why they did that. They returned the e-mail and said that Yamaha gave it to them that way.
