rear shock

[chase707]

I have a 2005 yamaha blaster and it has a stock shock on there and it seems to be not strong enough I am 190 lb and I was wondering what I should invest in to help make my quad more enjoyable

 

[speedyslyder]

most people want it softer then stock...like a 400ex shock..stock is stiffer

Ok thank you do I need to do anything to fit the 400ex spring in or should I be able to get it and slap it on as soon as I did

Hope this would help

Go on a diet..ha, ha...
Actually the Honda 400 es shock can be found as little as $50.It is a worthwhile improvement over the stock shock with a little higher spring rate and adjustable rebound and compression settings.

you want a smoother ride you need a real upgrade.

works or elka

What's your thoughts on fox shocks? They make very good shocks. I had floats on my banshee and would get another set and their rear shock if I had the cash. I think they are better shocks than works or elka shocks.

Fox floats are a real nice shock.

i too think they are awesome. i havent ridden on any but im sure they are just as good as my elkas.

the best part that i like is that you put air in them, so its easy to adjust by yourself

i said "and lol" because most people dont have the money to buy them (only $900+ each)
and i didnt know they had a 14.5 length. i figured to run them you would need long travel

do they make a rear fox float for these? or modified swinger/mounts?

 

[bansheedave]

They don't make a rear air shock. They make a hydrolic remote reservoir rear shock. I had floats on my banshee and lived them. Wish I still had them.
