Hello.
I'm sure some newer shocks will fit.
However, I don't have that information.
But, if you take your shock and get the following information:

Then send your measurements to whomever you were considering buying a shock from and ask them to verify the same measurements.
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Nope.
I have never been able to get one at a price I could part out.
I almost never see the KX450F's with a blown motor or condition bad enough for me to buy.
There are lots of Suzuki and Honda 450's in our area with blown motors but not the KX450F's.
Could be there aren't that many here or maybe is superior engineering?

If I send you a template would you be willing to fill in the blanks?
It's about 10 measurements....
