new 400ex shock!!!!
- Thread starter yzrider
- Start date
what i did was drill the bottom mount of the ex shock to fit the stock blasty pin. then for the top instead o ftrying to fab some bushings i got a friend to weld the correct size nuts over the original blaster mounting holes that are too big then the correct size bolt for the ex shock bushing threads right in without any slop.
I bought one bidding off ebay and the f*cker blew up after the first day I went riding all over my garage floor!! I got a new one tho for 30$ : ) This ever happen to anyone else??
how much are bushings, where do i get them? my dad's a plumber so he might have some bushings that will fit.
i'm pretty sure a reg hardware store bushign is not gonna fit correctly.. i looked for quite a while for when i did that 400ex shock swap on frans... i ended up buying a bronze bushing and making it work... i got crafty with the drill press and a file.. it tooks awhile but i made it work.. i had to trim just a littel bit around the air box lip... some people may not i just know what i had to do.. maybe some year 400ex shocks have a slightly different size ressie? or maybe it was close so i said screw it and trimmed a littel extra for clearance.. so long ago i dont; really rmemerb why i trimmed it but i did..
yeah, i think me and my dad will do a little fabbing to make it work, we were also thinking a brass or bronze bushing.
just got it tonight and its awesome, thanx noober for the help, and to everyone else who helped, can wait to install it this weekend!!!
well, i installed it today, it took forever but me and my dad did a unique cool, way of mounting it and it payed off, the performance is awesome, i cannot bottom it out, i have a question though, there are 2 screws that adjust stuff, what do they adjust, top and bottom ones. it gives a much better ride, and to me it seens to slide better, i didn't shave the air ox, it barely rubs and thos is a mod i highly reccomend!
cool mod , I'm gonna put on on my 2000 too , brass and bronze are kinda soft , if there is any binding it will eventually get sloppy , just keep an eye on it . or keep some grease on it .
