Not to hijack your thread but are all the yfz450 front shocks the same dimensions?

I don't think they are. I just picked up a pair and the guy I bought them from said they would fit up to an 08 yfz.

Also not meaning to hijack, but I'm trying to get these YFZ shocks on the front of my LT and I am having the hardest time grinding down the top eyelets, mainly the soft aluminum is not playing nice. someone recommended using a Sawzall, hacksaw or Chopsaw. but I don't know about that. How did you get yours to fit?
