What's a good going rate for a 400ex shock these days? I have read alot about that conversion on here....that's another mod I will be doing soon!
Searching there now....is there a specific year range I'm looking for on this 02' Blaster?
Ok....I guess the route I'm gonna take is welding my own. I will go pick up a MIG welder tomorrow or this weekend and get some steel to extend it. Now I wish I wouldn't have sold my old northern tool MIG because it welded great! Did some welding on my powder coating oven with ease....
Okie dokie! I gotta get this powder coating oven back up soon....maybe get a factory swinger from someone here on the forum that's selling theirs and go to town! This way the Blaster won't be down til winter....then the powder coating fun begins of stripping it to bare frame and coating everything!
FINALLY!!!! a round carrier. that is what you want. a round carrier ext swinger. they are a little more money, but WELL worth it. the stock adjustment sucks ass. takes too many tools and takes too long. a round carrier takes 3 tools and about 2 minutes. they are made of chromoly, so lighter, and stronger.
370 has a 400ex shock for sale. 40 shipped. already setup for a blaster. hes parting one out..PM him. he has all kinds of stuff you may want.
go with the dual stage carbon reeds from boyeson. vf3's are way overratede and too expensive. you'll notice a BIG difference in throttle response. plus they are dual stage so the powerband kicks in hard, and it will RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIP!!!!!! i have them on 2 of 3 of my shees..love em...
good luck. hope my info helps.

thanks still upgrading, old style extended swinger we kept snapping bolts, this was custom built with extended shock bolts. holds up great on the big jumps
if i werer to build a blaster it would be just like yours, except with a +3mm stroker and a ported 240 big bore. different colors also. wouldnt want to have a clone, hahaha. but thats how a blaster should look IMO. some of these guys can learn from guys like you.
i have a 3" extension kit on my girls blaster, and its 1" thick aluminum. no problems. it might not look as cool as a $1000 aftermarket swingarm, but works perfect. i ride it hard, and its like new. i bet the swingarm will bend before the extension. i'm sure all extension kits aren't the same, but mine is sik strong. if you want a pic, i can put one on 2nite. dont know who made it though, cause i got the swingarm/axle/carrier all used/assembled off ebay. and yes, it doesnt wheelie nearly as easy, thats why i got it, i dont want her flippin it n gettin hurt, but i can still put it straight up using the clutch.
Does anyone have any links to companies that make extended swingarms?
I ordered the dual stage reeds last night by Boyesen....they should be here by Friday.
I ran into a Lincoln 220 welder...still brand new for $350 but called the guy back and went straight to voicemail. So I am on a budget of $500 for a swingarm setup....throw some links out here for me guys please!

I know alot of guys had negative reviews about blasterzone....but is it worth it maybe ordering one through them?
Ok so now I'm looking at some rear tires to compliment the extended swingarm (when i find one that is). I'm thinking of the 19x10x9 size for the rear. Will that be too tall of a tire? I am looking at this package deal....
ITP Holeshot MXR6 / MXR4 Kit
Would an 18" tire with a 9" rim look OK? I don't like the balloon look, but I also want it to look proportionate...if that makes sense?
