ok well lots of people keep asking about cheap shocks for their blaster because the stock ones aren't very good so here is a list of all the shocks that will fit a blaster and how good are they =))
Front shocks
yamaha banshee shocks, they are a direct bolt on and you don't need new a arms they are better that blaster shocks but not great however saying this lots of people say they can feel the difference and is an improvement.
yfz 450 shocks ok they are great and i know people who beet riders with peps and elkas with them. however you do need either the diamond J widening kit with shock conversion or at least +3+1 a arms to get them on but they are still worth it.
Honda 400ex they are good shocks and again like the yfz 450 shocks you need either the diamond J widening kit with shock conversion or at least +3+1 a arms to get them on.
there are probably more but these are the most common ones
Rear shocks
Honda 400ex, suzuki ltz 400 and Kawasaki 400 shocks right these are basically the same shock and all work really well they will raise your back a bit but not to much. your have to mount them by bending the air box so you can fit the resi in, you have to drill out the bottom mount to the blaster bolt dimensions and make a custom brushing for the top as their bolt is a bit smaller than the blaster's and it is near impossible to drill out the top mount for the blaster pin to fit. However this is a brilliant shock for a blaster and is well worth the hassle. how to: 400ex rear shock - Project Blaster Forums
Honda 250r shock again this is a amazing shock probably better than the 400 shocks you can go for the atc 250r shock or the trx 250r shock however early models shocks are a bit longer than the newer ones and will raise the back more i think it is pree 1986 that are longer you need to cut the 250r top shock sleeve to fit snugly between the bolt holes on the blaster. you can use your stock top bolt and your stock bottom pin cut the steel spacer to fit snugly between the bottom shock mount holes. http://www.blasterforum.com/do-yourself/1635-86-250r-rear-shock-easy-fit.html
Honda 450r shock ok this is a good shock but more for the track you have to mount it like the 400ex shock however you have to cut off one of the rear plastic bracket for it to fit it isn't as good as the 400 shocks and a bit harder to mount.
again there are more however these are the most popular if you want any more info on different shocks just ask and if you have anything to add feel free to post it up on here
Hope this helps a few people I:I:-D
