GUYS NEED SOME ADVICE PLZ

[BRADJOHNSON]

So here's some back ground on my blaster I bought it from a buddy that was hard up for cash, he took it in on a trade, and wasn't interested in keeping it so he hit me up. I went over and checked it out at first sight I really didn't want anything to do with it, the plastics were all banged up the frame was a few different colors, tires almost bald wheels bent to sh*t, It was defiently ugly , but he had mentioned that the motor had Been rebuilt recently so I decided I would take it for a spin to see what was up. To my amazement the damn bike was super fast and snappy. It had my brain going , Immediately I offered him 350 bucks for it he took it and I took it home. Ive slowly stripped it down to bare frame and have been replacing all the small affordable items, ie, maintenance stuff like, brake pads all the cables, chain, chain rollers,.. in the process of all that I poped the head of and notice this brand new freshly rebuilt weisco top end and bottom end.. this was my Deciding factor in the big purchase items. So today I bought the alba racing front control arm package they offer and that leads me to question number one I've searched high and low looking for the best most affordable shock package that I could find at 14 and 3/4 or 350 mm. I know banshee shocks work but most are 15 3/4 or 400 mm that i come across Will these work? Please someone send me a link to a set, (that has some color choices preferable) that will work with this control arm package... around 150 bucks maybe 200, I'm not looking to spend the kinda money that "works" wants im not trying to ride a caddy, and im not going to be jumping it.. I've only found 1 set off eBay from China and they are black and gold..not the color id like.. So here's to my next part or upgrade, Im looking into a longer swing arm. Thinking around +4 maybe a +6. How long of a chain would I need for each of those swing arms... Along with the swing arm I'm doing the (400 ex with KOR bushing kit,) hope i haven't bored anyone with my long story and list of demands lol just looking for some advice... also with this current set up what other upgrades should I consider to make this bike badass
Current upgrades are
Thors delete
240 kit
Weisco top and bottom end kit
Fmf fatty with powercore 2
Reeds, unknown
Jetting unknown
carb stock
Alba racing full front a arms (coming in the mail)
New grab bar ( coming in mail)
Nerf bars on my list
Banshee rear axle on my list
Really like for someone to point me toward a nice set of matching levers with the perches also.
Thanks to any and all that answer my request have a great one-day CHEERS

DO NOT get those eBay shocks !! JUNK !!
Good shocks aren't cheap. Used banshee will work. Or, keep an eye out for used Works.
Flip front wheels. I would get spacers for rear instead of axle.
Get banshee, warrior, YFZ hubs for rear so you can get 9"rims, better tire selection.
I've only seen ASV levers that look good.
What do you have for air box/filter ?
Post main jet size.
Lots use banshee shocks, that little extra length won't hurt.
IIRC warrior are same length, look for used Works or so.

Will the 15 and 3/4 banshee shocks work with the alba a arms? And I can't find the perches for the ASV levers I want to get rid of the big clunky parking brake perch and and want them both to match, show me a link for them plz, and as far as air box itiits open with no lid and I just replace the filter with a new oem style. Front wheels have been flipped but I need to replace them there bent to crap and everywhere

From what I have seen in the past is Blaster shocks are 14 1/2 and Banshee are 14 3/4. Search the forum, should be able to confirm

Might have to see if a clutch perch would work.

Unfortunately the best shocks for cheaper money would be works. Tossing on other machines shocks (yfz etc) doesn't do the front end geometry and good with stock travel a-arms. Puts alot of stress on the ball joints etc Buying banshee shocks in my opinion are a waste of money. Barely better than a blaster shock if at all. Run your stock shocks till money allows you to upgrade. You could have bought the long travel a-arms I have in the for sale forum and ran yfz shocks though as it is setup for the length. Sounds like a great start! Good luck
