400ex shock complete!!

[giantvt104]

I picked up a 400ex rear, Kens bushings and bolt kit, and a couple washers. i used a 15/32 drill bit vs 12mm cause it was closer to my actual dimension. maybe that lower pin is worn a little. had to remove airbox cover for now until i figure out what mod i want to do with that. Took a little extra effort but really wasn't bad at all. took about 45 mins after the 3 hours i spent messing with stuff. Now time to enjoy the perks of not getting beat up so bad from that POS stocker. I:I!!! Thanks BF

looks good! just up the jet one size to run the open airbox, or just cut the snorkel thing off and run it like that. ive done both ways, and had no problems, and worked great. just make sure u do a plug chop to confirm ur settings

u should have put a clear coating on after to protect the blue paint. than it will last forever! lol

i put a couple coats of krylon clear on there. I dont know about forever haha but maybe a year or two. Def better than no clear.

looks good, does it raise the ride height at all?

Nice job. I know you will enjoy the ride of that shock when you get it tuned.

Its not noticeable but on mine it raised the rear about 3/8" might have to do with things like it has more sag than the stocker. cause sitting next to each other out. the ex is about 3/4 longer.
