Needing to know if the 06 arms will fit and work correctly on a 04 450r?

Thanks

I am not sure about where the arms bolt up to the frame but the 06 arms have a little more camber built into them, with older arms you will get older camber.

IMO I like the older camber, the new camber for 06 looks funny but that's just me, there's a reason for it I hope.

Cool, thanks for the response.

Well, I hope someone else chimmes in cause I've also read that the spindles are different. Now I don't know about all that but the upper arms are deffinately longer looking, and I believe that's where they get the increased camber.

From what I have heard/seen the 06 arms will work on 04/05 but you must use the 06 spindle also. The mounting tabs are different so they must be used together.

I just got a new 06 yesterday and i rip it all apart and i am putting my 04 roll design a arms on. And they bolt to the new spindles just fine. The only problem i am having is that i have to get a smaller lock nut for the ball joints bc of the new camber compared to the older camber it gave me a positive angle. So, i believe if you have full ajustable a arms it will not be a problem switching over.
