Yes, I have a Raptor Rear Shock on my Blaster. It works 100x better than the stock, and is fully adjustable. But some things to keep in mind are that my swing arm is extended 4 inches, so I'm not sure how well the shock would work on the stock swingarm, as the leverage would be much less, and therefore might not have the same compression rate. You also would need to purchase a 2001 rear shock, as the rezzy is seperate from the shock, which will allow you to mount it, whereas the post 2001 shocks have the rezzy attached to the shock, and they will not clear the frame/seat/tank mounts.

Good luck...
