400EX rear shock Nice!

[slickerthanyou]

Well finally got the shock installed thanks to Ken Oconner's bushings/bolt took me all of Ten minutes to do!

I did have to drill out the bottom mount to use the Blaster bolt, I also used a SS washer as there was a bit too much play on that bottom than i was comfortable with. Being it is from a 2006 i didn't have to cut the front fender tab where the reservoir goes, I did have to move my brake resi, back an inch cause at 3/4 compression it would hit it. Other than that, it seems to be much more cushionee- I will get pics tonight.

Before I do a ride report- I have to remove the stator cover/flywheel- and do some electrical checks to make sure all is kosher, as the concensus seems to be a possible electrical problem causing me some issues.

Hopefully I'll be able to pinpoint something. If not I guess It'll need a AWK mountain ass woopin- To show it who's boss!

you only have to cut the plastic mount off for the 450r shock not a 400ex one

The older 400's have the resorvoir mounted more to the right. That is why I specifically waited for a newer model 99+. (they are centered)

Concur, you are right.

Yeah, that is my setup as well. AND, I did the same, add one SS washer to either side of the bottom shock mount, fits like a glove now!!
