Default Shock swap.

Can a banshee rear shock bolt onto a blaster without too much trouble?

I'm guessing no, though I've never tried. Often cross model/same manuf. bolt-ons like that work. However, the bikes have different amounts of rear suspension travel, which might make the varying shock lengths not want to work. But, if you're willing to deal with a little trouble, I bet it would. I'm sure you would have to use the Banshee linkage though, because I can't see a banshee shock bolting direct to a blaster swingarm without destroying your seat/sag/and ride height. Good luck, and let me know how it goes.

I know that the front shocks can bolt right on. The stock front banshee is like 9.1 and the blaster is only 7.1 . This swap will work without raising the sitting hight of the blaster too much and it dosn't make for a bad ride either. The only reason why i am questioning the rear shock is because of the different swing arm set-ups.
