does anybody know if 2001 raptor shocks will work on a 1997 300 ex?

thanks for the help

[Roostin300ex]

All I know is I gave a friend my '05 YFZ shocks, similar to Raptor shocks,
and he said he had to make slight modifications to the shock mounts to
get them to work. So they are NOT direct bolt-on's. But not that big a deal
either if you have someone with some fabrication skills.

Sorry I can't be of much more help. Good luck.

Update: My friend rides a 400EX by the way! Oops

One thing to keep in mind when performing the modification such as these. be certain the other componenets on the front suspension can handle the upgrade. For instance if there is to much rebound on the shocks and you sail the next table or the next double, whats to say that the lower control arm ball joint doesnt rip the castle nut threads off and you find your self wrecked  or worse hurt. evaluate each modifcation thourghly and consider the worst.
