2003 Honda 400EX suspension

[marioweldinginc]

What suspension setup would you recommend for long hours and fast trail riding. The stock suspension seems too unresponsive to be that hard of a ride.

Replace the factory shocks or just get new ones. Not looking to spend 500 per shock nor will I ever run GNCC or MX

I think the R shock is 1/2" longer than the ex But as he put it the ex shock was like riding a broom stick the R shock is a huge improvement and any 2nd grader could install it !

Ive read quite a few posts about the rear stock shock being harsh. Most replies were to get aftermarket abc or xyz brands.

What year 450? Did he use all three shocks?

I'd get 450R shocks and send them to GTT...

[marioweldinginc]

Why?

Because they are just as good as Works or factory valved Elka's. And they are cheaper than Elkas also.

No just the fronts ! The rear shock is pretty soft to begin with !! YZF shocks are supposed to be pretty sweet !

I meant the 400ex shock is a little harsh.

What year 450r should I use? Did all years use the same shocks?
