CDale shocks on a Raptor
There is a guy on ebay selling stock Ohlins from a Cdale and he says they will fit on a Raptor. Does anyone know if they will or is he just trying to sell them to anyone?
I am just trying to sell to anyone.
Rear ohlin right?
I am the guy that is selling the shock on ebay. I don't have a raptor to try it on so I called a yammy dealer. I talked to 2 service guys at 2 different stores and they told me there should be no issues with clearance of the rezzy.
If there is any doubt in your mind if something would fit then call a service shop. And heck, I am such a nice guy that I could probobly be talked into taking the shock back if it didn't fit. Of course, I wouldn't be paying shipping.

Length matters for the fronts, and a Raptor and a 400EX are not the same to my knowledge :eek:
BUT! The rear should fit fine, I know they are the same length, and people have to put similar remote ressie shocks on Raptors all the time. I sold my old one to a guy with a Raptor and never heard a complaint from him afterwards! :cool:

Bolting up is one thing. What I would worry about is the ride you will get from them. Unless they are fully adjustable they were probably setup for diffrent angles on the arms. Diffrent weight quads and who knows what else.
For example: If the shock is too stiff and then angle too straight you would probably jar your teeth out. On the other hand, if the shock were to be setup for a straight armed quad and you laid them out longer they may not provide correct responses and either blow out, wear out or simply break.
It's kinda the same theory as running stock shocks for a long time with +2 arms. It will work, but for how long? And how safe?
Just my .02$
