the 400ex rear shock swap seems to put alot more stress on the bottom bolt...anyone broke a bolt yet when jumping/landing?

the 250r swap link says page not found.. but I imagine its pretty similiar to the 400ex, but no airbox cutting with the remote ressy..


links for info on the diamond j or +3 front a-arms??

any idea if one of those ebay rear lowering kits would work with the yfz450 shock on a blaster?

i love the way it rides with the yfz shock but it sits a lil too high so i notice as i ride the bumps and vibrations make me scoot closer and closer to the tankwhen i start out at the back of the seat. that and the added height makes it feel a bit more tipsy

I put a set of Kawasaki Mojave Front shocks on my blaster, they are a little longer than stock, but fit with no problems, i was able to pick up a set on ebay for 10.99 shipped. they are much softer than stock.

Hmmmm I have a Mojave and I was thinking about putting them on my blaster. Glad to know it works. I was actully thinking about the rear shock too since its beefier.
