Roundstyle Carrier worth it?

[Tbrock77]

I've been looking into building a nice set up blaster, To get a new +4 swingarm and roundstyle carrier is almost $700, but to just get a stock style +4 swingarm it's only $250. It doesn't seem to me that the roundstyle carrier is worth $450 more but I was wondering what everyone else thought.

This is better because it has Skidplate Brackets! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-BLAS...use-/371171353176?hash=item566b896258&vxp=mtr

Can anyone confirm if the banshee carrier will work? I have a dura blue blaster axle that I will be using.

Not sure if I'm going to use a skid plate or get a rotor and sprocket guard. IMO the guards look better and protect the same.

these are the guards I was talking about, more expensive but they look nice and weigh less. Not sure if they would work but if it's a banshee carrier it should bolt right on.

Broncos info is 100%, just had a custom flame one made +4 and thats exactly what i paid, $250 + $109... Better looks, easier chain tightening, better bearing capabilities

I have a 2003 blaster that has the hydro brake in the back, I was wondering how much I would have to modify one of the "garage sale" carriers to use the stock brake caliper

Banshee and 03-06 Blaster calipers are the same.

so just to clarify, I would be able to use this carrier with a blaster round style swing arm and still be able to use the blaster rear caliper? everything just bolts together?

If you buy a swing arm shop swinger, they sugest a carrir to use in the same auction (35mm banshee), also you need to decide if you wany skid plate tabs or not. The brake mount supplied i believe for most are 03+ so make sure u order one for 88-02 or 03+ only diffrence being what triangular brake plate u recieve. Also when extending you need new front and rear sprocket and extended chain as well as extended brake line

Why do I need new sprockets?

Why do I need new sprockets?

Because you will need a new chain. With new chain you need new sprockets.

Ahh okay, didn't think of it like that.

You may be able to get away with a stock length line because the caliper ends up on top of the carrier with a roundhouse, whereas with stock, the caliper is behind the carrier. However, braided stainless lines are better than stock, so, you might want to mount everything up and then decide brake line length.

Most likely going to go braided for reliability and durability
