What are some dimensions on a ltr 450 shock, and will a long travel shock of a honda 450r shock work on a kfx. If the length is the same. Are the eyelets to wide or narrow to fit in the frame?
Thanks

The upper mount for the front shock will be too narrow for a kawi from a honda shock. You can get the parts you need from elka what kind of shocks are they?

I would say get ahold of custom axis directly and tell them what you are wanting to do. It is probably going to be more expensive than you are going to want to get everything converted and revalved though. Might just end up being easier to get ahold of some used ones that are off a kawi. Then all you will need to do is revalve them maybe not even that.
I think it is definatly worth a call though if you are able to get a good deal on the shocks.
