The 01 shock is the only one with a remote reservoir similar to the stock warrior shock. All the other years have an offset piggyback reservoir, which will not work because it would hit the swingarm.

all years 660 will fit, but you must remove the stock airbox.... must use direct mount air-filter instead.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

no it doesn't... that's what i thought too... but it doesn't.. the resovoir of the shock hits the swingarm and doesn't allow any travel

Check your info before you post. Other years of raptor DO NOT work. As I already said, the offset reservoir on them WILL hit the swingarm, and there's no way around it.
