250r rear shock

[yes se-r]

i searched, found out you can use this shock heard great things about it. then when i searched how to install. the list grew thin. how hard is it to modify this shock to fit the blaster? my rear shock is pretty shot and i just got replacement fronts (banshee) and figured might as well do the rear now.

im on ebay right now so depending on how easy it is to do ill bid on one asap

 

[blasterdude14]

its a pretty easy fit you just have to cut something on the top sleeve if i remember correctly. PM blaster01 he did this before he sold his blaster he could tell you how to do it

 

[yes se-r]

i just found one for 48 in good shape..im gonna jump on it. hopefully its not hard to do

seen here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360180278264
hopefully this is what i needed lol

 

[blasterdude14]

dont jump on it too hard you might brake it lol. jk

For '86 and newer the top mount is alittle wider than the stock shock, You'll need to crack out the 4 inch grinder and take atleast a 16th to a 8th of an inch off each side.

 

[blasterdude14]

you want to go with 86 and newer. the ones before 86 were an inch or 2 longer

 

[yes se-r]

What I said does not apply to the year you just bought, have fun.

This is the exact one I bought from a member awhile back, see the diff. look at the inner sleeve at the top, thats what needed to be skinnier

 

[yes se-r]

ok so epic fail you dont think it will work? i understand its different but that shouldnt necessarily mean it wont work

You'll need a sh!t load of washers.

 

[yes se-r]

lol i just messaged the guy on ebay. even though i already paid hopefully he understands my dilema and refunds me my money back im gonna try and get a newer one if he refunds me

 

[sc0r1a]

if he doesn't it should work, just pack it with washers, its what i had to do with my z400 shock (stay away from pre 03 z400 shocks, they're junk) i haven't had a problem with the mount and washers yet

with my 250r shock i had to grind the 2 tabs out of the top mount on the frame.grind the bolt sleeve to sit between mount for the bottom.then grind a little on the top mount of the shock just a lil so it willo fit in the top mount.its really easy once you start doin it

 

[brandoz28]

i got one and all i had to do was skim the top sleeve and it went right in. pretty easy really. looks like its gonna jack up the back a little, but i weigh about 210-215 so it'll be okay lol

 

[yes se-r]

hmm i only weigh 145 so if this is gonna put the rear up 5 inches that isnt going down much lol

 

[Mborso1029]

i just realized that i didnt do any grinding on my frame to fit the 250r shock in there before i sent it to get powdercoat....
