G'day Walter i have my YZ400E shock out on the bench and it looks the same also . Can you give me the eye to eye length and travel and i will check with mine . Is there any adjustment in the length ?.

Wonder how many other suspension houses will offer a nice product like this to a niche market. Looks like rebound damping at the bottom,maybe a ride height adjuster could go in there to. Suppose EVO riders could have a canister with High/low compression on there.
Nice work Walter

Thanks Lozza , yes all those option are possible ( you could even have hydraulic preload adjustment , so you can turn the knob on your handlebars whilst racing) . But then there divided opinions about that sort thing .....(spirit of the era)
we try to have an option for every camp.

Looks great Walter, I'm sure the YZ-E runs the same rear shock too. The rebound knob, is it at the same lenght away from the top mount? On these bikes the frame covers part of the body and all of the spring and top mount, and their is a small hole in the frame so you can adjust the rebound of the shock without having to take the shock out of the bike.
