my build is about to begin

[97BoredOutBlasta]

ya i think im gonna use like 1/8th'' plate. just simple triangular gussets on the subframe, and where ever i see fit i guess. try to be kinda reasonable, i dont want a ton of plate welded everywhere all heavy. i still dont know if i want to paint my swing arm the same color as the frame or just leave it sliver. any thoughts?

Black swinger!

 

[97BoredOutBlasta]

ya thats what i thought too.

 

[Awk08]

when i did my frame red, i left the swinger and a-arms silver, but after puttin 'em on didnt like it, so took 'em back off and blacked 'em out, looks better, imo

we have an update guys, i just bought a vitos +3 stroker crank!! im excited to start making progress on my motor....

 

[97BoredOutBlasta]

anyone running a +3 stroker? i wanna know if they rip or what?

 

[gearhead04]

Sounds good bud... The total rebuild section is by far my favorite area to read. Keep us posted

 

[calcium12]

do u have to trench the case? or is that only +4

 

[yb200]

looking good man

 

[97BoredOutBlasta]

i dont think i have to trench it, i think you just have to grind/file the case opening to clear the rod? maybe, i will find out.

 

[97BoredOutBlasta]

well guys, i started taking the blaster apart finally, ive been lazy lately. i got all plastics, all the electrical harness and controls, exhaust and carb, just the minor stuff, heres my progress. next couple days, swinger, motor, steering stem, a arms and shocks. . . its amazing the stuff you find wrong with your machine when you start a frame off build, i got a huge crack on my seat tube, i gotta weld that up, then gussets, and paint. then comes diamond j kit and yfz's front and rear...

[blasterfreek30]

ur gonna love that stroker man, nasty throttle response and quick high revs but did the crank come with the bearings on it?? can you get them off

 

[97BoredOutBlasta]

[97BoredOutBlasta]
