front shocks

bag0b0nez · 01-12-2010, 09:43 PM

i want to make my blasty able to soak up more shit. so what would be the best but fairly cheap shocks to get? i dont wanna spend a whole shit load on shocks. also a 400ex shock for the back?

you can use some shee fronts and a 400ex rear.

I agree with 305 a 400ex rear seems like a good choice. Theres also 86-89 trx250r rear shock and trx 450r rear shocks.

For the front you can pick a used set of works off fleabay for cheap.

get the 400 ex rear shock, i have an '05 trx 450, harder to mount, had to cut the one flange off that the front of the plastics bolt to, the rezzie is offset, the 400 is the same shock but straight rezzie, less cutting, and i'd get a newer 400 shock over a 20 year old 250r shock anyday
and spend the $150 - $175 on some works fronts, you'll think you're on a different bike, yeah, that much difference, worth every penny

alrighty thanks

i don't think you can really go wrong with either the 250r or 400ex shocks, either way you're gonna be making a huge upgrade. with the 250r just remember that you have to mount the rezzie somewhere

stay away from a z400 shock. I thought it would be the same as a 400ex.... its not, you might as well put a pogo stick up your as.. anyways they suck.

run a 400ex shock ,am, i love them, and noober has a nice way to mount them if you have a welder, for the front run shee's, or run progressive if you can cough up 300 for new ones.
