450R rear shock in a 200X

[84honda 200X]

I was lookin on ebay and noticed that the 450R rear shock looks to be the same length and has the same mounting caractoristics as a 200X rear shock. Do you guys think that the shock would work for a replacement on a 200X?

i wish it would work on a 350x

Seriously i mean i jsut took my shock out to check it out and find out if i coudl get it recharged and they look almost the same length. Same mounting points and everything.

I'm pretty sure the 450r shock has a piggyback resivoir which would cause problems on the 200x either on the frame or on the airbox area. Your more then welcome to try and let us know the results though :)

how much is it for a re-charge anyway? and how the hell is anyone going to get those rusted spanner nuts off :(

while we're on topic, who has changed their fork oil? mine leak and are totally spent!

I got my spanner nuts off. and lookin at the shock and my wheeler i think i could flip the shock around so the piggy back sits in front of the air box.

your fork oil leak? lol. i think you mean seals. take them apart, put in new seals, put back together, put new oil in. it is a very easy process

someone did a step by step on 3ww.org and i think he said it took a couple hours.

It looks pretty easy in the manual. Im guessin it woudl take about an hour or two.
