Yamaha parts interchange, What parts work/fit on a Blaster?

[ftl900]

Okay, I'm pretty new here, but I know the YZF450 rear shock is a do-able swap into the Blaster with some mods. (Edited to correct)

What else works??

Please specify if it's a direct swap, or if it requires modification, and roughly how MUCH modification is needed- light grinding, spacers, adapters, bracket replacement, etc.

banshee from shocks are a dirrect bolt on and no need for a widening kit. yfz450 shocks can be bolted on with a dimond j widening kit with the shock conversion. 400ex rear shock also mounts up with some work. theres more, just cant rember

the yfz is not a direct bolt on. you have to use washers on the top to make it fit sung, and second it will raise your blaster up about 3". so you would need to buy a rear lowering kit.

Ya know, I realized that about 3 a.m. I had been looking at the rear shock swap a few days earlier, and had that in my mind when I wrote it. Early this morning, I realized that I was thinking about the Banshee front shocks being a straight swap.

Thanks for setting me straight!

Linkage???? blaster doesn't use a rear shock linkage.

one of the yfz450 shocks i was thinking of bidding on had linkage attatched. i ended up buying one without linkage. wasnt sure if i needed it or not
