front shocks?

[Quadrider10]

they measure about 13 inches eye to eye

Actually, I bought some fox sno mo shocks for my blaster and machined them to fit and they rode really nice. I sold them to scotj77 and he continues to use them and likes them as well.

i'm going to bet that they're going to be too stiff with as heavy as a snowmobile is compared to the blaster.



be patient, keep looking for works (search for ones from a banshee too). you'll eventually find yourself a good deal on a set.

 

[Quadrider10]

yea true........ ugh i hate shocks! lol

worth it?

 

[brandoz28]

just hold off for a while, save some money and get some GOOD shocks. spend the money once, not 2 or 3 times

I do still ride those fox snow machine shox they are great but i'm not 100% sure which one they are off of. it's like a polaris 700 from the late 90's. but they are a verry cushy ride brando not hard at all. I am repairing them right now and put my stockers back on. they suck so bad.

Those 13" eye to eye will not work. too short looks like a damn flat track racer. I have a set. waste of money

 

[Quadrider10]

ehh ok....... Stupid MOD BUG!!!!!! hhahahha

What you have to do is either send the seller a ?? as to length C to C, or search simular shocks, some sellers list the lengths. Only buy pairs and make sure they have all bushings, etc as that stuff can add up fast

 

[Quadrider10]

I did, haven't got a response yet..... What if I cut the sling a little on my stock shocks?

 

[brandoz28]

that'd end up lowering it a little bit, but really won't help soften them much.

 

[Quadrider10]

Girrrrr........ Ok. It's just the thing is, I'm probs never gonna be able to spend more than like $100 on shocks, and cause I don't think my mom would ever let me anyway.... Lol. So I think I might just have to get the banshee ones. unless I can find cheap yfz ones and get a lowering kit to mount them on stock arms.

 

[Quadrider10]

which are better out of these 2?

banshee
250r

and r there any mods to do with the 250r?

 

[blasty 95]

250r is to long an the banshee's still blow.

 

[Quadrider10]

girrr ok....... but are they soft or stiff?

 

[Larry's Shee]

250r is to long an the banshee's still blow.

And here I thought they sucked. Its all in your head, "OOOOOH, I got Banshee shocks on my Blaster, it HAS to be better" If you ever rode a Banshee you'd understand. A Banshee is heavier, especially in the front so logic says that the springs have to be stiffer.

Cheapest I've seen YFZ shocks is $150 plus this Front Lowering Kit Yamaha Raptor Warrior Blaster ATV | eBay plus if you read description it says "Not for heavy jumping" , sounds like MX to me. X(

 

[Quadrider10]

Girr...... Ok....

 

[Larry's Shee]

Sorry X(

Buy once, cry once I:I
