Progressive 512-1017B 14.5 Banshee Front Shocks

I have stock Banshee shocks on mine, it was unbelievable how much difference it made. I would like to have after market but for the $40 I spent on the Banshee front shocks, I couldn't be more satisfied.

I have never used them but by reading the description they seem like they will be pretty stiff and only have spring preload. If your going to go aftermarket I would go with works because there is more adjustability in them. plus the progressive shocks are made for utility atvs. I don't know what kind of riding you do or what style of rider you are but for me personally I would not get them. I would go with stock banshee or just keep your stock blaster ones for now.
Trail and scrambles mostly. I cannot bring myself to spend more on front shocks than I paid for Blaster. I will try some stock Banshee's first off e-bay
Consider a set of sled shocks. Arctic Cat and Polarus have 14.5-15" shocks on some. Fox or ryde F/X . Usually $100-150

I've got the Progressive shocks on my Blaster. They are definitely better than the stock ones. I have never tried stock banshee shocks, so I can't compare the two. I personally would try to find a good deal on a set of used Works before I would spend the money on new Progressives.

I did put the YFZ450 shocks with adapters but I cannot figure out how to attach photo's. So I change my avatar, this shows them. The ride is day and night from stock shocks. I weight 190 , I do a lot of trail riding in rocky area's and I am happy to say no shoulder or arm fatigue as in the past. No kick or excessive jerking in the handle bars and combined with the 400ES shock no rear end kick back either.
Shocks should be the first thing anyone spends money on when upgrading a Blaster !
