Front Lowering kit for the Honda 450R (04) 20-1008

Due to changes by Honda there may be an issue with the lowering kit not fitting correctly. Honda has changed its front shocks so that there are two small cylinders protruding from the bottom shaft of the shock. These small cylinders interfere with the lowering kit and may cause the shaft of the shock to bend. The problem is due to changes by Honda! The lowering kits were designed correctly when Honda first came out with the 450 R. Durablue is not responsible for replacing bent shocks.

Solution: If you have the right tooling you can cut a notch in the lowering kit to make room for the shocks protruding cylinders. You may also return the lowering kit to Durablue for a replacement. We will pay return shipping only.

Raptor 700 Lowering Kit

We've noticed that the Raptor 700 is offered with special shocks. When you purchase this option, it requires a notching of our lowering kit. You can fix this by using a round file allowing for clearance.
