Cheap shocks worth the money?

[ken cunningham]

Any one have any insight on these shocks found on ebay. I have stock shocks and there now and they make for a rough ride, however im not going to be buying those shocks that are 400 dollars apeice. I only paid $1000 for the thing so i cant really see putting that kind of money into just one part.

Air Shocks YFZ Blaster Drag Rezzy Raptor Gokart ATV | eBay

i wouldnt buy them... look for some used works shocks. there is a reason those are cheap, because there made cheap.

 

[CARNZ]

those cheap shocks are JUNK, and have been proven to be very unsafe. the shafts like to snap at light impacts

 

[mjgnslngr]

search 'cheap shocks'. theres others you can use that wont bust your wallet man. those ebay shocks are more or less 'all show, no go' Welcome to the forum!

 

[ken cunningham]

Thanks guys. I dont think ill waste my money on them then. Ill keep my eyes open for used ones, but they still cost a ton of money. Never knew how expensive they where untill i started hunting around for some to replace the pogo sticks that are on there now.

If you look at them, there are a short shock for drag race use only.

These type of shocks are what come fitted to China's.

Nuff said!

banshee fronts and a 400ex rear shock with ken oconnor bushings probably your best bet, or save up from some used works

 

[Quadrider10]

dont even get me started on shocks hahahah i looked into everything possible, and like stated above, ur best bet is works, or banshee fronts, and 400ex rear.

 

[mjgnslngr]

Blah, banshee fronts? Another stock Pogo stick with a barely noticeable difference over stock Blastys. Watch YZOtis video about what HE thinks of them too. (links in his sig)

If i'm not mistaken.. the shocks were originally for the rear of a old honda scooter and ended up getting marketed as a set of front shocks for atv's. I wouldn't trust them either.. Drag racing would be the biggest work out I'd put them through if I owned them.

YFZ 450 shocks are the best option, these shocks are Chinese ... I have in my blaster at-arms +3, YFZ shock is a very good change, just a matter of knowing regulate them. Elka but is also an option, not the values ​​in their country ... here in Argentina Elka ROUNDS 1750dls stage 2, stage 4 ROUNDS 2300dls Elka ... is very expensive, adding that a dollar here costs $ 4.50 is almost $ 9,000 very few people have elka suspension or a similar

I have those shocks on my banshee right now and ill sell them to you 50$ + shipping

On a blaster they may be ok but not on the banshee and definately not some one my size at 6'3 235Lbs.

Pm me if you want them i bought them temporarily til i found some good used banshee shocks to put back on.

how do they run?

 

[Budget_Blaster]

how do they run?

As long as i dont jump it great!

Idk how they will do on a blaster with a lighter rider but with a banshees size quad and a rider like me at 6'3 235lbs they arent very good for jumping.

Out on grassy fields and roads i like them but since my g/f is now riding the blaster and i dont i figured id put them on for her the blasters light and she only weighs 130lbs soaking wet.

banshee shocks are also a waste of money. just crap like most stockers. just do yourself a favor and save up for some works

@Quadrider10:

You should try looking for a set of snowmobile shocks. I've heard good things about them, even stock sled shocks are a very good upgrade and you can find a set for around $60 shipped. Make sure you find the size of them first, they aren't all the same.
