your supposed to stand when riding

Not the whole time though! Riding a bike with bad suspension you'll do anything to lessen the blows to your lower back and knees.

I have a friend that purchased YFZ shocks (front only) and had them modified to fit his Warrior.  A local shock guy cut them down and revalved them.

Do you know if a Warrior a-arm is the same as a Raptor 350 a-arm ?

I received my yfz shocks and my warrior is sitting in the garage, I can look into it to see the difference for you  :thumbs:

have you looked at their prices tho?... its like 400 bucks for brake lines and lowering kit and everything, plus the cost of the shocks, for that price i could buy elkas or something... then i wouldnt have to worry about the lowering kit breaking on a jump or something that would happen to me lol

if you look at their auctions instead of their buy it nows you can choose whatever kit you want if you win, i think ???

We will usually have auctions on shock converion kits and auctions on widening kits. We want to point out that if you win one of our shock conversion kits, you can choose either the Honda 300ex to 400ex shock conversion kit, or the Warrior shock conversion kit. If you win one of our widening kit auctions,

you can choose any of our widening kits (even if the model in the title of the auction is a different model). For instance, if you win an auction with the title "Honda 400ex Widening Kit" you can still choose to have us send you the Yamaha YFZ450 Widening Kit, just by sending us an email after the auction has ended. If you have questions about this, please send us an email and we will clear up any questions you still may have. DiamondJCustoms@yahoo.com

You already have the lowering kit for the front don't you? Buy that 80$ piece and a set of yfz 450 fronts, and there you go.
