i am going to getmy top end back soon from getting it ported. i am running fmf fatty with power core 2 silencer. i found a paul turner with a fat boy 2 silencer. which would be the better exhaust for my setup? and i am going to get a bunch of stuff cheap. i will post a link in case anyone is looking for A 240 kit, race plastics, banshee hubs...
paul turner or fmf pipe?

alright ill post it. but i already call dibs on the a arms, and exhaust for those who want other stuff. Parting out 2000 Yamaha Blaster Race Quad All Custom
so should i get some shee shocks or something? i have shocks from a raptor 350, so i think they will fit. alot heavier quad, and the back end on the raptor sits higher than my warrior so i hope it is longer. if the back one is longer, its a ressi so i will use it.
you just gotta think, you have 3 more inches of leverage on the shocks.
stock shocks arent very good to begin with. how much do you weigh?
i was 110lbs when i first got my blaster, and everytime i'd jump it, i'd bottom the back shock and the fronts i never fully had a problem with, other than ride quality. so if your light like me, maybe the extra leverage will soften the ride a little bit and be good as long as your not jumping or anything.
banshee shocks are an upgrade over stock, and a banshee is a heavier quad than the blaster. so the shocks are probably stiffer and will be better.
i have works dual rate shocks, valved for 130lbs rider, and the +3 a arms. they arent high end elka's or fox shocks or anything, but they ride like a dream compared to stock. if you can get lucky and find a set for cheap, i'd snag them up

yeah i am 210. a while back i found some new in box elka dual rates for 75 bucks. on craigslist. i was short on cash or i would have them. but the only jumping i do is about twice a year when my buddy comes down to ride and it isnt big jumps. but when i get them i will put them on and see if i do need to upgrade for sure. if so, i will snag them off my raptor. thanks for your help. i would give you some rep, but it says i need to spread it around.
i say as long as your stock shocks arent blown out, run them for now. they will bolt up. they just probably wont be very good. or if you can, run the raptor shocks if they fit. just save for some works or something in the future.
i just got a pretty good deal on my setup from a old member on here when he parted out his quad

Good deal on the PT pipe, as long as you want the high rpm version for flat out go. Nice price on the Burgards, especially with the hydros. Myusername has a point about the shocks, you will find that you want better ones with heavier springs.
i am not getting the hydros. he wont take 300 for everything and thats all i have. all i am getting is the full exhaust, and control arms with ball joints. no spindles, hubs, or hydros. i am going to rob all that off my raptor. im hoping its the same as a shee.
