Could you just use extended blaster ones that they use on +3 a arm kits?

I could but they were a lot more expensive. Yzf450 ones can be had for under 20 dollars on the bay

I don't think a stock yfz is 6" wider than a stock blaster ?
Check the build thread by member Blaner about putting yfz front a-arms on a blaster frame, maybe he posted width measurements, or Google the specs for a front width ?

Why not just make you own full length ones. All it is a tube and thread insert welded in the ends. Or just thread the ends of the tube if you find the right size.

Found this online
'04-'05 YFZ450 = 12.375"

RAPTOR 125 & 250 = 9.75"

RAPTOR 660 = 12.375"

BLASTER = 9.25"

BANSHEE = 10.875"

Are the tie rod ends all the same?
Looks like I could use raptor or Yzf450 ones as long as they are 10mm and same tie rods
