2008 CRF450 showa thrust bearing fit a 2009 CRF450R KYB shock?

I do not think so but figure I ask before I take my shock off and try.

got to the advanced parts lookup.
pick out the bike, then the part and click the "where used" button

if both bikes are listed, yes. If not, NO

Ditto, that's what I was going to suggest he do also.

Thanks for the suggestion. The only issue is that the thrust bearing for the shock is not a Honda part. Its ussually from PivotWorks or Factory Connection. I will call PivotWorks in the morning and get the lowdown and post here. Thanks. Spokes572, CA

you are talking about the spherical upper bearing: 91074-MAC-741???

Honda has them to!

I purchased the Pivot Works thrust bearing $50 - allows the shock to rotate smoothly. Issue is when you tighten up the spring for sag, the rubber orings that are used to keep dirt and water out squeezes out of place. Even so, it still rotates freely. I guess you get what you pay for. Other vendors charge >$100 for the item. I left it on the bike since it was a pain to put on and still rotates. You would think that Pivot Works would improve the design before they went to market.

the 2 flat plates are wide and will fit a wide variaty of shock spring and bike models.
