JordyRoo Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Seen a nice cheap set of ohlins shocks off a TRX 250. Question is... will they fit? I havent measured my shocks yet but the ohlins are 400mm eye to eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordyRoo Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 the shocks are 399mm which is under 16inch, going from the part number. My std shocks are 370mm eye to eye. surely that extra 3cm wont affect the handling too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsnieg Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 surely, inch and a quarter difference shouldn't be too much, surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordyRoo Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 its 1.18inch, ive read a few people putting YFZ 450 shocks on which are longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 its 1.18inch, ive read a few people putting YFZ 450 shocks on which are longer?Just fucking do it. You keep asking why you can't and saying how it's not a big difference. Just do what you want 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 You have made up your mind. Just put them on. FYI, the only people who are super positive about riding on 450 shocks or shocks from other ATV's are the same people going from stock Junkers to whatever they can find. Obviously just about anything might feel like a better ride. But doesn't mean it's near as good as a properly set up shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordyRoo Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 15.71inches these ohlins ones are buddy, yeah i see what you guys a saying. My shocks are toast, i dont do much jumping its mainly for the highways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldskool83 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Go to works shock website and look at the catalogue. It tells you eye to eye length for nearly any bike. I think a guy I knew once put LTR shocks on his...but it road like shit, too stiff. Just run OEM shocks or get ones made for your bike. Mine rides like a sofa on wheels and front shocks are factory.
