I was doing a cleaning on the blaster today to prepare for the rebuild and I had an extra 300ex front shock that came with my brothers 300ex. I thought about doing a swap for one of the fronts just to see how they look and work. Well, actually it looks pretty good. They are a little shorter than stock blaster shocks. not sure the length, but I can tell in the pictures I took. The only problem is that the width of the top eyelet is smaller than the mount on the frame. You would need some bushings of some sort or maybe even a few washers. Other than that the bolts fit fine. But I wont be running one 300ex shock and a blaster shock, I put the other blaster shock back on. It was just and experiment. Pics:
