Anyone using/tried them? I think they are the same size as the Blaster/Banshee shocks and they look similar in design to the Banshee shocks. I am curious if they would be better than the stockers I have now.
 
The only issue I have with the Banshee shocks is finding a set in GOOD shape for a decent price. I have a problem paying $100 or more for 10 year old or older shocks that are not rebuildable.
 
shop around there are plenty of guys on here that got newer shee shocks for 20bucks or less on ebay, i picked up a set of banshee works shocks for 100bucks on craigs... just gotta be relentless on your search and they will appear
 
stabor, never pay more than $50 for stock banshee stocks, never. go on bhq, people sell them cheap on there.
 
Still looking at different front shocks. Trying to stay cheap. Aftermarkets just are not in my budget. I think I remember someone saying that 660 Raptors fit? Do they fit without Extended arms? I am ok with them being a little stiff. I am not a skinny guy (230). Just bought a LTZ400 Rear so I need something to compliment it.
 
forget where i saw it on here but some guy tried it and wasnt happy with raptor shocks it made his machine far too tall and tippy and had to use +2 a arms to make em fit. i would stick with some sort of banshee shock.. either oem or aftermarket, im running works shocks off a banshee and i got em supper cheap for 100 bucks, and guys always get oem banshee shocks for super cheap (like ten bucks even). the problem with getting other shocks is than not manny on here have tried em so you might be spending money on something you can use in stead of getting something that we all can assure you that will fit. since you have stressed your budget is tight i wouldnt take the gamble

extended a arms dont change the length shock you can use unless you get long travel a arms. and raptor shocks are too long. honestly i dont think you gonna be too happy with any other shocks unless you buy aftermarket. yfz450 shocks could fit but i think you have to do some custom fabbing for a longer shocks. but there probly the best you can get with gettin a/m. but there about the same price as some used works and they will be pretty stiff.
