I would say spend the little extra and get your shock revalved. A used stocker will run you between 75, and 150 dollars depending on condition, and a used aftermarket will be 250+ dollars in most cases. You are better off getting your shock revalved, I think there are places that will charge under 200 dollars to do it, and then you can get the shock set up to your weight and riding style. And unlike a used one, you know the shock is good and will last you.

Hey Andrew,
He has a Blaster not a 250R so is wanting it for a step up from the stock blaster shock;) And the 250R rear shock is ALOT better than the stock blaster shock!

lots of people use 250r shocks for their blasters. it takes very minor modifications for it to fit. the top usually slides right in and the bottom just needs a 2mm spacer because the blaster uses a 12mm pin but the 250r uses a 14mm. the main reason i'd like one is because it sits it up about 2 inches higher and it's much better shock than a stock blasters

how much are you looking for? and what year is it off of. i'm preferably looking for a newer year because of the longer hose. pics would be nice too :)
