400ex a-arms on a warrior?

[skoaldipnfastquads]

lets start off by saying im new to this site, i just bought my warrior and its a basket case:argh: so this site is helping alot:tup:. i was watching some videos on youtube and one guy had a set of 400ex a-arms and honda 450r shocks on the front of his warrior. i was wondering if anyone knows how much modification is needed to do this.

Ive heard of it being done but Ive never actually seen any pics or anything close enough to see what was done.

what's the point of changing to 400ex arms??

they may bolt up, but I think it will mess up the suspension geometry. I have read about peeps doing it but can't remember where, try a google search

thats the video i seen. and i already have a set of 400ex shocks layin around from when i was modding my 300ex. and the point in doing this is to make the warrior wider and handle better, plus my ball joints are roached lol

well i ripped into the warrior today after i picked up a set of 400ex a arms, the mounts are way off. i might mod the mounts to make them fit depending on the shock angles and everything
