Title: YFZ450 Front Shocks on a 300EX
Post by: Yamaha72 on May 16, 2005, 01:28:47 PM
My firend just recently purchased a set of front shocks from a 04' YFZ450 and with a few slight modifications they fit fine on his 2002 300EX. He said that they preform flawlessly and he said to recommend to put them on if you have a 300EX with a lower budget in mind...I do not know if this set up will work for all year's on the 300EX???

The only thing he did was cut the top, old suspension brackets and re-weld them higher up. :o :o :o [smiley=abduct2.gif] [smiley=abduct2.gif] [smiley=abduct2.gif]

I have a buddy who I gave my '05 YFZ450 shocks. He put
them on his 400EX. He also only had to slightly modify his
frame to get them to work.

Personally I consider them stock shocks "wrist breakers" but
if someone like them thats their business! LOL

Be cool

I have no idea either if the YFZ shocks would "Bolt-up" but any thing can fit if you have a welder. It would be a nice edition to the blaster if they would fit on there...  ;)
