I know I'm wrong but why?

Shorter shocks lower the front.
Longer front shocks heighten.
Would the price for putting on YFZ450 fronts on without any modding not just be a couple extra inches and some stiffness?

Does the geometry fuxk up or something?

 

[cole454]

They are too long for the stock ball joints, puts too much stress on them and wears them out much faster. Which sucks for stock arms because they are not replaceable.

 

[Painthehouse]

So works shocks is the only way to go without losing the original front end width?

No not works just any stock length shock. Its not gonna affect the width of the quad just the ride height.

Either stock length shocks sprung and valved for your weight on stock suspension or aftermarket arms made for the 16.25" length shocks.

Aftermarket arms don't HAVE to be wider than stock, it's just nearly the same price to get a 6 inch wider front end than stock width so the +3 arms are a good deal (if you don't HAVE to have it stock width)

The stock arms CAN be modified to fit YFZ shocks. I believe Strokedtater did a shock mount relocation on stock a-arms.

Anyone know if AWK was running the CFM lowering block with the shocks? Literally have 4 hours to make a decision on a steal for triple rate works 250r 16.25 shocks.

 

[yzrider]
