suzuki shock conversion

Anyone think i can manage getting my old shocks onto my dads warrior, he was complaining yesterday that he felt every little bump, his shocks are from like 96, and feel like they are blown out.

Don't the zuki shocks have a forked bottom mount instead of a regular mount at the bottom?

Thats what I was thinking.

Anything can be done, since the bottom is forked you may have to grind them down or ream out the bolt holes since they might not be the same size. Just watch the balljoints if you do put them on.

how can you not put the ball joints on?

 

[yamarider]

He means watch out that the shocks aren't too long and overstress the ball joints. That's why you can't use yfz shocks, because they are too long, and overstress the joints.

ohhh, i knew that...i thought he ment you could put them in without the balljoints and i was like, WWHAT?

yeah, i figured my old shocks may be too long, i'll probably buy him some shock covers and put my warrior shocks on his bike as a father's day present lol.
