Motorrad:
can I just re-drill the 450 clevis? is there enough material there?

Looking at the clevis on the 450, there is some sort of rebound or dampening adjustment on it on the 450... this may be a problem for a swap

DoldGuy:
Motorad,

View this topic, think it will answer alot of your questions.

My only concern would be the bladder chamber as it is at a fairly steep angle, but in honesty I have not looked at the K5 sub frame to see if it would be a problem.

Gold mine...

what did you do about shock- pipe clearance?

Motorrad:
Found a blown shock locally for $20.  Going to see what it will take to make fit on the K5.

Right off the bat.  The pipe will be a problem from what I can see.  K5 shock rez angles down.  450 angles up.   

Thinking I may be able to reroute pipe. Or intake. (flop shock around). To make work.   

We shall see I pick the shock up tomarrow
