They are set up for +2's at 165-175 weight if you put them on stock width they will be pretty stiff.

Just keep an eye on ebay for some, must be some by now. trx450 fronts work aswell, and i think yzf450 will but not 100% sure. Anyone else know? I've seen one with pred500 fronts on, said he hade to put a few washer at the shock mounts and thats all. Little bit longer though.

They are an inch shorter, and the upper mount is not the same thickness.
