after yesterdays ride, ive come to the conclusion i want new shocks, but i dont want to spend a fortune on new ones, but after me and devan talked about it a little, he mentioned a thread from the "other forum" lol that a guys found a 350 for sale with yfz 450 shocks on it... anybody care to shed some light on this situation? is it possible? will it help the ride at all or will it mess up things so much it will be worse?

shit I dont have the elkas anymore :lol:
I can you tell you for sure a 450 rear will NOT fit.
I'm guessing the 350 had a widening kit like mine had but with a shock conversion kit also.

i remember reading about the thread but devan said by the picture, he could tell it was a direct mount up? i dunno but i would buy your elkas if you still had them lol... i know they make a conversion kit though

Yea, it was craigslist posting and now its deleted. But if they did fit and i could find a cheap set i would will do the same thing.

:swinger: = :jerkoff: = :humper: eventually ='s  :hang:                               Exentix = :puke:

even though i just said i would do the same thing, i agree. I would have to think about dumping MORE money in a 350...

im pretty much done dumping money into it rk, except for some small things like tires after i wear mine off and im getting warning label covers, but i cannot stand the suspension on this thing, i had to stand up 50% of the time last time i went riding lol... but yea about that other part, you can talk to devan about that  :confused: im going to my corner to cry now  :'(

I hate having to ride standing up because the suspension sucks so bad.

I ordered some sweet warning label covers from here http://www.hardlooks101.com/items/yamaha/list.htm?1=1 .

I got a large left front fender tribal blank, and a skull and cross bones but i dont remember what border, and a mounting kit  :wootwoot:   $27 shipped

Should be here sometime this week. Ill post pics  :thumbs:
