Well, it was only known they were setup shitty from the factory, what wasnt known is what, if any, upgrades could be made to them. That was the real question. Unfortunately, theyre just too cheaply made to be able to make other common shock parts work with them.

Thanks man, I appreciate that
I'm always looking for better alternative, especially if it involves less money Shocks for motorcycles and ATV's are one of those markets where the pricing is based on which market segment a particular shock is for.
From a machining & parts perspective, there isnt much more involved in making an aftermarket rear shock, than there is making a single front shock. Yet a single rear still cost twice as much as two fronts.
Hi guys!
I think these shocks should be looked at. Im sorry its not in english but look at the price. The price is for 2 front shocks

299EUR is about $394USD, so $400 give or take, and thats not even including shipping to the US, or any import taxes/fees yet.
Interesting though.

I cant really see the warrior having enough travel to even really use a dual rate to its full potential. But either way im sure a dual rate would be better. I just like the looks of those thats all.

Yeah they do look cool, I just dont take any suspension product that isnt atleast dual rate too serious.

Even the PoS stock front shocks have dual-rate springs, that kinda tells ya something too
Raptor 660 shocks on a warrior or rap 350 are too long without at least modifying the upper mounts on the frame (which I think is a bad idea because once you do that, you're committed to staying with them). Even after you modify the upper mounts on your frame, the shocks will still make the front end sit higher than normal.
Raptor 350 and warrior shocks will bolt up the same.

Did you read tha part at the bottom that says sold as single, not pair. Thats precious, and I love how they make it look like they are hiding someting with the shock covers over the springs. I wouldnt buy them just for that,, Thats like going to a quad dealer, and buying a quad, only the store wont let you see it before you buy it. This would be an awesome forrest gump moment.
Hmmm it looks like theres a 1 in front of the "sold singel, not pair" and the 1 is after Honda TRX300, TRX300FW and Kawasaki KVF300, 360, 400 Prairie. So i Think its 2 when u buy for the 2 Yamaha´s or am i wrong?

No idea, but just because its aftermarket doesnt mean its good.
