Will these shocks fit my blaster ?

Hi so I've got a good deal on a set of ohlins yfz 450 shocks which measure 17.5 eye to eye. I am currently running +2/3 a arms (not sure) just wondering if they will fit and if there is any modifying I'll have to do.

If you are running long travel a arms, you should be fine. If not the only way to make them work without major frame mods like I did is to have the shocks shortened internally than re valved.

So, from looking at your other thread, you do not have long travel A arms. Getting rid of your Reiger shocks and trying to smash in some, way too long, YFZ450 shocks is about the dumbest idea of the day.

Diamond make a lowering kit, I used one for my 450 Works!

chances of you having long travel a-arms are 0 because you had stock shocks. you need to special order long travel

i myself would not be afraid to cut the mounts off the a-arms and move them, but i would do it properly and know how to weld

i cant speak for you, but its possible to be done

I was under the impression that my current a arms pictured are wider? Plus if it come to it I'd probably go for these http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=151418135986 do you think they would do the trick ?

Nope, wider does not make them long travel.

standard travel extended a-arms is what you have.

you need long travel extended a-arms
