yfz a arms??

[riske09]

i saw a guy that fabbed up some yfz a arms on his blaster it was awesome and i am currently doing a yz 250 swap so i am thinking about going all out. i have my stock a arms from my 05 yfz so im thinking about doing it has anybody else ever tried anything like this

 

[yb200]

try it and take some pics

 

[riske09]

will do i think im just going to cut a bunch of new tabs out on the water jet at work then weld it all up and then gusset everything

How wide are the yfz a-arms and how wide are the blasters? Im talking about the part that bolts to the frame. The long tube like mount.

 

[riske09]

im not sure i would have to measure them but i would guess less than 2 inches at the most

Read up on a-arm geometry, make sure you dont move it too far up or back.. it you do you will have a quad that handle's like crap.
Also your going to want to think about shocks.

 

[riske09]

the one that i saw the guy put them as far forwad as the stock blaster and i think he used raptor or yfz schocks

 

[Blasterdude27]

Are you talking about the guy with the yz250 swapped in there? He also streched the frame a few inches.

 

[yb200]

get some measurements off your 450 arms and get back to us

im doing this soon except im gonna build a full front end with rake and all and move the yfz arms up to inches and i was gonna build long travel arms hehe i love geometry i already have it all figured out gonna use blast plastics and yfz bumper gonna be sweet

 

[blastermonkey]

o my, cantwait to see

 

[riske09]

heres some pics i am copying the yfz geometry and i had to move the bottom rear mount back a little bit then widen it out.the front of the a arm is in the original plase as the blaster but wider with the the way i did it. i have the bottom a arm done now i just need to do the top

 

[brandoz28]

did you widen it like that to match the yfz frame dimensions? and are you talking about a yfz450? or something else? awesome work thus far...

 

[blasterfreek30]

cool project bro.....keep us posted on it

 

[Blastizzle]

Yeah man x2 on that. I'd like to see how this plays out. (pocorn in hand)

 

[riske09]

yea im going off the dementions on my 05 yfz 450. when its done it will have the exact geometry of a yfz

 

[brandoz28]

is there any chance you can post up some of these measurements for your blaster brothers? lol

 

[riske09]

sure ill get some on here either tonight or tomorrow and ill get some more pics after the weekend

 

[brandoz28]
