New beadlocks!!

[ProjectBlasturd]

So the new beadlocks are on the way. Ordered some DWT G2 8x8 beadlocks for the rear and some DWT ROK'N LOCK 10x5 beadlocks for the front. Both black with red lock rings. Pretty stoked to get them and Hope they are decent. Anyone else run these or have in the past? Would like some experiences. Was looking at the Hiper 3's (yes I know, I should've got those instead ) but ill save the extra money for the cost of those for when I upgrade my rim size. Also picking up a longer rear axle, and doing a 14-40 setup with a new DID 520 chain so yeah I'm pretty stoked. I'l be happy to finally extended my wheelbase outwards lol. Anyone think I'll need a widening kit our better A-Arms for up front or will the wheels do the trick? Front offset for the new wheels is 4+1 and the rear is 3+5

Shoulda got albas cheaper for same rim

 

[blasterbrian]

Also 3+2 off set woulda made it wider

Isn' it the other way around? 2 on the inside 3 on the outside??

Also 3+2 off set woulda made it wider

And if not then oh well, guess I'll have to buy a widening kit

So then why is flipping the front tires such a popular mod ??

Only thing I would do is gotten 9" rims. Greater selection of tires. Even if I had to get different hubs.

Already plan on doing that in the future lol. This setup i got is just temporary lol

Wow i said 3,2 not 2,3

 

[blasterbrian]

Your gonna flip beadlocks?

 

[ProjectBlasturd]

Wow i said 3,2 not 2,3

3+2 Is narrow, 2+3 Is wider. Stock blaster fronts are 3+2 That's why people flip the fronts to make them wider in the front. And no one said anything about flipping beadlocks. Wtf

 

[ProjectBlasturd]

Wow i said 3,2 not 2,3

If I got 3+2 if be narrowing my front not widening it lol

 

[blasterbrian]

Wow buddy 3,2 would widen it more then 4,1 which you said you go, dont be rude to me because you dont know what your talking about

 

[blasterbrian]

4 ,1 will be narrowing it more tho

 

[ProjectBlasturd]

I' buying a widening kit for the front and for taller shocks that' why my front offset choice didn' really matter to me

Id just get asr long travels i heard widening kit throws off geometry of the atv

 

[blasterbrian]

Im just trying to help ya out there man

Probably just gonna get the Alba +3 A-Arms. My buddy has and has no complaints about them I'm not gonna go too crazy on this bike. My TRX 450R is where all my money goes

I hope I didn't cause this sheet storm.
I was being sarcastic about flipping the rims , I've done it with aluminum Yamaha rims.

Any and all "mods" we do to the front suspension changes the geometry from original design. Some may improve it in some ways.
We accept any negative effects with widening because the Blaster is so narrow, and most of us ride more agressively than the Blaster was designed for. Why else would we work at trying to double the horse power !!

Biggest design flaw is the lack of "rake" in the front frame. Instead of the wheel going straight up and down, the wheel moves back slightly as suspension compresses , allowing the wheel to roll over bumps easier. That's why the trx250 Honda with 12' is still the bench mark.
A YFZ 450 has 8' and a YFZ 450 R/X has 11' .
Rake is the angle the frame bends up in the front.
No clue what the Blaster, Banshee, or Warrior have, ain't much.
