Im not sure about free. But if you can get some banshee front shocks and a 250R rear shock. They all will bolt right in and will be a huge improvment over stock.

I just had a 600 Raptor Shock modified for my sons Blaster, was bought on E Bay, for 100.00 and TCS in Lake Elsenor can MOD it to length and your ride will be soooooo much better, found some Works shocks for the front TCS also works on thier shocks too, the blaster is a fun toy, but needs better suspension, and this rear mod makes it a BLAST, as my son says.

I find the 250r one works awsome. It has alot more travel and you get alot better compression and rebound. It's also remote rezze so it gives it a sharp look. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Raptor shock also has a resevoir the 250 r shock is a tad too long, eye bolt to eye bolt on the Blaster is 15.00" if you dont mind a taller ride height, then the 250R shock will work.

thanks for the help guys (or Gals) , how much do you think it would cost to get some used banshee or 250r fronts on? how much for the rear?



also, is it very hard to put new shocks in, because dont they unspring really hard when u take them off, or does the a-arm and swingarm just sag down to the ground(if the bike is on jacks) ? like i said thanks alot for your suggestions
