250R front shock ???

sort of...
you will have to get some spacers or shims for the top mount since the frame mount is much wider than the top 250r shock.
the bottom fit ok but the 250r shock is longer than a blaster so you have to compress the shock to get it to go on. the set up is better than stock .
if you have the 250r shocks already try it If not you would be better off getting some Works without rez. it would fit better and be set up for a blaster.

where can i get spacers..would rubber washers do? are the 250r shocks the same size as the 400ex?

[longtimeRrider]

i just used some steel washers you should be able to get them at any hardware store. the ones i used were around 1 1/4 dia outside with the inside hole just big enough for the bolt to fit in.

Yes 250r and 400ex fronts are the same.

i just tried the 400ex shocks, they would fit but they DO need to be compressed....cause its about 1' 1/2 off and the a-arms dont go down any further....mmmmm gotta compress those shocks some how.?? i heard the rear shock off a 250r fits the blaster no problems....??

[jdpdave]

dont do that. it will bind the balljoints and damage parts

[boogiechile]

I agree
