Default Blaster shock options

I would like to get off cheap on this one.... Can stock shocks from any other machine work with the blaster? Front and Rear

Try saying stock shocks 10x's as fast as you can....

Thanks,
SkinnyBoi

Im not entirly certian about the rear ones but i know you can put front banshee shocks on a blaster even though they have a extra 2'' of travel. It will give you a extra 2'' and wont raise the front end to much. They bolt right one and you dont have to change anything else. I dont know if this will work for the Raptor but I know that blaster shocks can bolt onto a raptor and drop the front end 3'' so i dont see why the raptor shocks can go on to the blaster, but they might be to long. The rear shock on the blaster is 7.1'' and the rear on a banshee is 8.7” and is a much better set up with Rebound, Compression and Preload Adjustment. The only thing is that the shock connects to the swingarm different on a banshee. That would be something you would have to ask to someone who has done it.

Cool thanx for the reply!
I did a search this site and read that the front shocks can be swaped.
My rear shock always bottoms out and i would like to stop doing that.

Any Ideas?

later,
skinns

nope, im in the same boat. The rear shock can be re-built but i dont know how good that will doo ya seeing how the blaster shocks suck to begin with. The best thing to do is to and find out what type of aftermarket shocks will work. The banshee shocks are a much better set-up but like i said before i dont know if the back one will fit the blaster. If it did that would be awsome and might solve your problems.
