Hey guys I just got some 02 banshee rear hubs an front shocks!but my question is what am I gona notice is she gona have a lot better handleing an grab when I hit corners an how many more inchs is the banshee front shock than the blaster front shock!:)
 
Just replaced my front shocks with Banshee shocks. Havent ridden them yet but they definately feel smoother (better action). They were about 1/2" longer when they were sitting next to my stock shocks.
 
Nice an there red ones to so its gona look sick for sure!

It's a good recreational upgrade for a good price and they provide a little softer ride than the stiffer stock'rs, especially combined with a 400ex rear.

If you're racing, jumping or other serious riding then you should look for some Works, Fox or Elkas......if your budget allows it.

Good luck!
 
So I like won't be able to hit jumps with the banshee front shocks!I catch like 5to10ft of air right now on the stock shocks they should be better for comin down off a jump not so slamish!

Sure....you can jump with them and they'll be an improvement over the stock shocks, but serious jumping requires serious shocks. 5-10' isn't too serious, so you'll be fine.
 
yamaha should have put the banshee stocks on the blaster and gave the banshee some better shocks from the factory.
 
5'-10' aren't serious unless your doin like 50 of em in a row then you might notice some fad, they are what they are, i've ridden banshee shocks on a blaster and it makes for a considerably nicer ride but it's all about how serious you are ridin, if i'm not chasin a checkered flag i'm prolly not gonna run a couple thousand dollars worth of suspension, would be nice but prolly not for the average guy
 
when i got my banshee fronts i set them to one notch above full soft and they are alot better than stock blaster shocks
