Ok so i bought a yfz 450 shock, it didn't come with any bolts. Do i use the ones on my blaster or do i have to buy some? Oh and when i cut the bottom part of the shock and drill a hole into it do i have to re-thread it?
 
You do not need to tap the bottom of the shock.Just drill the bottom the same diameter as the stock bolt and use the stock bolt.On the top I used a different sleeve from a hardware store and changed out the stainless one and made the I.D. a little larger to accomodate the stock bolt.In my opinion if you are going to mod a shock make it work with stock bolts.The top shock mount on the blaster frame is larger than the yfz450 mounting hole and if you use a smaller bolt it will eventually move around a bit.IMO
