I expect this to be my last Blaster swingarm ... hope it works

Guess I could call it a modded Blaster swingarm cuz I used the pivot tubes and some of the front cross member ... ... I just paint stuff cuz it always gets torn up and it's easy to touch up after repairs ... Most of what I did is in this thread.

amazing work otis..so prettyI:I
Sweet YZOTIS, what are you using for a carrier?
My Raptor had the eccentric aluminum carrier and I liked it.
Do have a suggested list of carriers we could use? (I assume Raptor 660 would be one)

Was afraid someone would ask that ... LOL ... I'm using mostly Predator/Outlaw suspension parts ... a few reasons ... 1st it's a budget build ... the bikes have a low resale value so there's lotsa parts for cheap, the parts seem to be of good quality and I have a Predator so I can measure & ponder before I shop eBay ... The rear axle assembly is pretty stout and wider than the Blaster. Never had a problem drilling another set of holes in aluminum wheels ... Here's some of the junk I got from eBay ... the YFZ shocks are on the guest blaster ... I got the Fox podiums for the same price as the YFZ's ... the front stuff is Outlaw

Naw, gotta keep the purple Blaster around for the grand daughter. Blasters are great little trail runners and also a good training step up from our LT80's ... I'll have'm around as long as we have places to ride.

Thanks Awk ... That damn Phragle & Blastersarus infected me with the suspension bug ... I don't use rear brakes a lot but I like them to be reliable & precise when needed ... I've owned a Scrambler for years where the hand brake brakes all wheels & the foot brake brakes the rears ... didn't think it was a good idea when I got it but soon realized I really liked it ... be interesting to see how it all works out ... the front suspension should be a lot more interesting than the rear but that'll be another thread ... burp
