shocks

[norcal blaster]

I'm looking for front and rear shocks? What year 400ex will fit the rear and what year banshee will fit the front?

i believe banshee fronts from 1990 on up will fit woth no modifications, but as for the 400ex rear you can use any year , but will need modifications to fit, its not a direct bolt on. unless of course you go talk to ken at O'Conner Racing, he sells some bushings for the top to just use a smaller diameter bolt for the top then all you have to do is drill out the bottom for the stock shock bolt.

oh and you have to grind a little off your airbox also, or elongate the rear plastic mounting holes so they sit back a little bit. good luck

i'd just leave it, just rub a lil grease on the part that rubs, and it'll never hurt a thing

yeah you could just put grease on it and go but when i did mine i couldnt bolt my plastics in place without shaving a lil bit off, also you wont be running a lid on your airbox with a 400 ex shock.

what so if i get a 400ex rear shock i cant put the lid back on my airbox

unless you're going through ridiculously deep water i wouldn't worry about leaving the lid off


don't forget to rejet though

yeah but when i get my toomey pipe kit in a couple months it comes with lid vents i was just going to vent it maybe i should just get a banshee shock they bolt on no problem right but are they any good

a banshee rear is too short for a blaster.
