i dont think i would ever use a 200x shock on a blaster, i think it will easily bottom out, just look at the shaft lenght and heck it looks short then a blaster lenght

i think it would suck honestly

a 250r would be a much better shock and we alreadu no it fits, just gives you a 2-3 inch lift in the back but it levels out when you sit on it

i think the 200x shock will be to short alone, like eye to eye length, but idk, prove me wrong

i dont think i could put a shock thats over 25 yrs old on the blasty....and it looks way to short

my 86 has 7.2 inches of rear travel, and the benifit is a better riding shock, my 86 soaks up bumps way better than my stock blaster did.. 2 hours on the blaster and i was to pooped to pop, i rode the 200x for almost 5 hours and coulda rode another 5 before fallin asleep

 

[blaster01]

are blasters heavier then 200x? idk im asking, cause if they are, if the shock is already nice a soft ride then it might be to soft for a blaster and bottom out to easily, but idk maybe you do?
