87 warrior suspension mod?

[Dballard87]

I am looking at getting new shocks for my bike stocks are 14" would 14.75" shocks fit the front end?

I think they would, I put 99 shocks on mine and the 99's were a bit longer than the 87's.

1st gen are 14" long and 2nd gen are like 14.5 or 14.75, so youll be fine!

Couldnt remember the measurements, i knew it was around those lengths

Actually, no. They won't fit. I tried banshee shocks. Your camber will be way off and it ball joints will be maxed out. And it will handle shitty.

Thanks guys I bought my 87 as my first quad and I have rode the piss out of it for a couple months but right now I have to buy a new tranny took it out and did some mean stuff to it it didn't agree lol and I'm just adding to my list of upgrades

Mine handles very well for being a stock shock still. Only balljoint failure i had was 8months in of riding and 4 races in on the longer shocks with stock 87 balljoints.. He should be fine if he replaces the balljoints.

I'm looking to go piggybacks

 

[THORrider05]

If you get ones that are adjustable (not like the stock adjuster) Id take preload out to lower the ride height to be easier on the balljoints

 

[Dballard87]

Alright thanks for the tip

shee shock 15" 2nd gen shocks do work on 1st gens

 

[Dballard87]

What would you take for a set of gears?

 

[alex456123]

shee shock 15" 2nd gen shocks do work on 1st gens

I never said second gen shocks wouldn't work.
I said banshees don't. They are 14.75"

 

[Dballard87]

Banshee shocks are 14.5 actually my brother has a banshee
And I was told by the guy at Larry's yamaha I can just upgrade the ball joints and I'll be fine

 

[alex456123]

He's a dumbass (misinformed) because there is no upgrade for them. Stock Oem style replacements only.
