completly rebuild after it was stolen

[98blaster]

i got a 98 blaster basket case 2yrs ago and it took about 3 months to get it all together and as soon as i got it done it got stolen it was gone for 2 months than the police found it and the peices of sh*t that stole it had painted all the plastic flourecent pink and painted every thing else black didnt tape off any thing it looked nasty and the also blew the engine so when i got it back i immediatly stripped it down to nothing and decided to do a complete rebuild i have no befor pics cause i was to pissed to think about taking any but i have taken picks of the reassembly process so heres some pics of the progress

this is the frame after being totally stripped of all previous paint and i painted it with ppg paint in chevy victory red

this is when i started asemby all wiring installed and right suspension with the works AT STEELIES w/rezzies i polished the rezzies and stripped the a arms and paintes the base clear ford silver metallic

thats all i got time to post right now but i will include mor pic and stuff later today or tommorrow let me know what you think so far

ok i thought the wife wanted me to go to the stor but she ended up going so here is somemore pics

heres a pic of it with all the front susension on and i bought a used dg front bumper in great shape for 30.00

this is after i finished installing the swing arm and rear shock along with the banshee stem i bought for 11.00 on ebay and i had it turned down at a local machine shop for $20 and i also chose to use renthal bars and a modquad polished teardrop milled bar clamp and also the dg fat series grab bar i got new for 50$ from my boy at the local yamaha dealer

i used a 400ex rear shock i drilled the lower holes to use stock bolt and the spacer is a caterpiller engine spacer i cut down i had a custom upper shock bushing made so i could use the blaster bolt but still keep the use of the bearing honda uses in the eye

this pic just shows how much taller the stem is especialy with high bend bars this set up is real comfy to ride it takes that little kid quad feeling out of the blaster

these are the brand new itp pro polised t-9's and the itp holeshot 20-11-8 xcr tires also brand new

more pics to come ....

another pic of rear suspension with the dg swing arm plate and the banshee rear axle and carrier i also did a rear hydro brake conversion using a warrior rear brake setup

the rest of the brake coversion i welded a tab to the frame and used one exsiting mount which i think was from the factory heel guard i mouted the resivor with a p-clamp on around the frame tube and i made a custom brake pedal out of a blaster pedal and the warrior pedal

just a random pic of rear suspension

i payed 40$ a piece for the wheels and 70$ a tire my buddy is the parts manager at the local yamaha dealer so i get a decent discount
