    Chain thing?

    Found what I was looking for. Called an AMP Link. Lotta negative feed back but also some thoughtful positive. Setting chain tension is a bit different but critical. I like the theory for the whoops at the base of our sand hills. Have to make my own spare rollers but the bearings are cheap ...

    Chain thing?

    Hey folks, memory's failing and I need some help. This chain roller device was on a Blaster I bought long ago. I looked it up then and read a magazine article on it. Can't remember what it was called or who made it. It mounts on the end of the swingarm pivot bolt just before the washer & nut...

    Old Blaster, New Generation

    Things don’t seem to busy round here so I’ll use up a little bandwidth. Haven’t been around much since my Son outgrew Blasters and started his own family. Now it’s time to think about the next generation. Early in the year I freshened up our LT80’s to get the Grand-kids started. That led me...

    Moving the shift controls to handlebar?

    Clutch on the shift lever is common on shifter karts & pretty simple.

    The Tavern - Your Chatter Feed

    Time takes it’s toll .. maybe should be “Vintage Blaster Forum” .. I’ve got 1 near 30 yrs old & when I joined this forum 10 yrs ago they where out of production .. still a great way for a youngster to scrape together an economical 4 wheeler but just about everything that can be done to or said...

    Photobucket. :(

    Blasterforum’s archives is the best Blaster information source in the world. The words will still be there but like we say “ Pictures ”. This will be retro destructive & damage many traditional sites that are graciously maintained for the members .. Sad!

    YZ250 Blaster Build Log

    I used a dremel to modify the stock Blaster thumb throttle for more travel .. used it on overbored 38's to a 41mm alky carb with no problems .. but I'm a low budget guy .. burp

    YZ250 Blaster Build Log

    I just ground the kicker to clear .. still plenty strong (below) ~ ~ Extended shifter about an inch so it was easier with a boot. (below) ~ ~ If you don't have the YZ boot you can make one with some hardware store parts. (below) ~
