rear shock

This is not going to work. See that big ass cross brace in the Blaster swingarm, right behind the pivot tube? That's exactly where the Banshee shock would need to go. You can't just cut that brace out or the swingarm will have the rigidity of a garden hose on a San Diego lawn in June. Even if you do somehow manage to pull this off, you will have a Blaster that rides like a truck, because the Banshee shock is sprung and valved for a much heavier bike. And you can't just have a suspension shop set up your shock for a Blaster with Banshee suspension.

thanks for the input. I am well aware of it. I will be getting a custom swinger built for this project. My blaster swingarm is being used as a mock up tool. It will be sent off the the builder to replicate the measurments. I won't be using the stock swinger.
