well i just traded my EK-HB for a EG-HB the person that owned the EG wants his Tiens shocks to put them on the EK i was wondering if the EK shocks will fit my EG (They are Tokico) the ones that our on the EK will be going to the EG

 

i think they'll fit but u'll need ek rear lca's

EK lca's will mess up your your rear suspension geometry. EK rear shocks will fit on EG lca's if you machine off about 1/8" off each side of the lower shock bushing/mount. i know this b/c i have EK shock on my EG

:edit:

some tockico shocks are the same for EG's and EK's, and they include washers to fill in the extra space between the fork and the mount on ek's.

YOu didn't have any problems bolting up the rear eg shocks on the ek? Isn't the lower fork on the rear shocks too short (legs are too short) for how tall the ek lca is?

 

eg shocks to ek, youll need to add washers.

ek to eg, like someone mentioned, you need to shave off a bit by the bushing.
