i just traded an old project 4x4 that i never finished for a 2001 blaster thats in pretty good shape the guy had a rear shock on it that was way too short and didnt know how to fix it i actually found this forum while looking for the correct shock and ended up going with the 400ex $35 on eBay and some old teleflex aluminum bushings later i have one smooth riding machine so thanks already for the good advice. Im a Honda/Suzuki/Yamaha/Tohatsu outboard technician and have two vintage Honda motorcycles but this is my first quad also my first two stroke any good advice on things to check out or upgrade would be greatly appreciated
