How to do the 400ex suspension mod

my 400ex shock came in today, kinda beat, but oh well it was 55 bucks, anyways i went right to installing it, then i was stuck. so i spent a couple hours messin around, then i searched and found this, looks super easy to do now check it out. i'll show u guys how mine turns out when its done

 

thought this would be helpful

 

Anybody who has a blaster should look at this thread. Thats awsome instructions and pics. Rem, did you get your shock on yet?

 

not quite yet, my dad is hopefully going to use a lathe on the top spacer tomorrow. i did the bottom mount myself it was really easy

 

Sorry to hijack your guys thread, but why would you put on shee shocks??? They aren't very good. Is there any way to put on yfz or trx450r, or ever predator shocks?? If so, I'd be putting them on........people are selling these shocks like crazy for dirt cheap.........

 

what other shocks will fit in the rear of a blaster

 

the shee shocks suck, but theyre way betteer than blaster front shocks. anything larger than shee shocks would require aftermarket a-arms on a blaster

 

oh I see.....sorry guys for the interuption then........just trying to learn about other quads, and throw a possibility in there that I was hoping hadn't gone overlooked.

 

a 250r rear shock works on the rear of a blaster, but people have told me that they would go with the 400ex.

 

The 400EX,250R (88+), and have heard that Z400 rears work...

For the Front, the banshee shocks are the ONLY quad interchangable shocks you can get for the blaster..

And for the guys talking about YFZ/TRX450R fronts for the blaster....THEY WILL NOT FIT,AND EVEN WITH AFTERMARKET A-ARMS THEY WILL PUT TOO MUCH STRESS ON THE BALLJOINTS AND THEY WILL BREAK OVER TIME...DONT ASK THIS QUESTION EVER AGAIN THANKS[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
